Christmas: These are the best styling tips and outfit ideas for the holidays

The year is slowly coming to an end and the Christmas holidays are just around the corner. Not only do questions arise about the perfect Christmas menu and the right gifts for our loved ones, but of course many of us also wonder what we should wear around the holidays.

Festive, chic, but not over the top - this is how we imagine a perfect Christmas outfit. After all, the holidays with family and friends should be contemplative and still comfortable. How do you do that? In our style guide we show you beautiful Christmas looks and give you the best tips for your Christmas outfit.

Christmas is the ideal occasion to dress up a bit and dress festively. And even if the Christmas party may be a little smaller this year, we can still take the opportunity to dress up again.

Whether you choose elegant suit trousers, a little black dress or a chic silk blouse is entirely up to you. The only important thing is that the clothes have a festive touch. And of course that you really feel comfortable in the outfits. Sweatpants and hoodies should therefore stay in the closet around the holidays. Thanks to home office, quarantine and the like, we've worn them often enough in the last few years.

If you prefer simple basic looks, you can also add an elegant touch with accessories. These could be, for example, sparkling earrings in gold with small rhinestones, ankle boots with a metallic look or a glittering bag with sequins. Accessories for your hair are also great, for example a shimmering headband or special tights. Everything that would otherwise be too much in everyday life is just right for Christmas.

Christmas without glitter and glamor? Not with us. As we all know, items of clothing with glitter, sequins or a shiny metallic look always look good during the holiday season.

Glittering dresses have been extremely popular for years - regardless of whether they are short or long, in classic black or exciting red. The pieces definitely stand out and sparkle to rival the Christmas decorations. You can never go wrong with sparkly skirts or trousers around the holidays. By the way, they harmonize particularly beautifully with coarse knitted sweaters and cardigans. Thanks to the cuddly pieces, the glitter pieces are much less reminiscent of going to the disco.

We are completely blown away by Caro Daur's glitter look. The influencer is wearing a black dress with gold applications. The combination with a black coat, tights and pumps looks super elegant.

It no longer has to be a dress for festive occasions. A trouser suit can also be elegant and feminine. Especially for special occasions, such as Christmas, the two-piece suit proves to be a practical and, above all, elegant styling partner.

Pant suits made from shiny fabrics such as satin, silk and velvet are particularly festive. We spotted one of our top Christmas looks on Olivia Palermo. The influencer is wearing a dark green velvet two-piece suit (not only velvet, but also the color dark green is ideal for Christmas), consisting of a blazer with a deep V-neck and lapels and trousers with a slight flare. She also combines a glitter bag and mermaid waves.

When you think of Christmas, the color red immediately comes to mind alongside gold and glitter. So it's no wonder that at no other time is red clothing more popular than on contemplative days.

Garments in red definitely have a real wow effect; the color appears confident, sensual and strong at the same time. This year, how about a cozy knitted dress in festive red? The piece is ideal for a Christmas party with the family. It gets a little more elegant with a red satin skirt. It goes well with a tight-fitting turtleneck sweater in cream.

We also think blogger Ishtar Isik's festive look is particularly beautiful, combining a red blouse with elegant black trousers. She also uses strong eye make-up and glittering earrings.

Tipp:If you don't dare to go for a bright red, it's best to choose a dark burgundy red. It's less flashy, but just as festive.

Hardly any other fabric looks as elegant and glamorous as satin and is therefore perfect for the Christmas holidays. The smooth and shiny material immediately gives your look a touch of glamor thanks to its delicate shimmer and at the same time beautifully surrounds the silhouette.

Instagrammer Lydia Tomlinson shows the way and wears an elegant satin-look blouse, black ankle boots and a black narrow belt with the white midi-length satin skirt. If the complete look is too much for you, choose just one piece of clothing made of satin and combine it with leather or knitwear, for example in a subtle style change.

Are you looking for a Christmas outfit that is cozy but still looks festive? Then, for example, a cozy knitted dress would be a good choice. Knitted dresses are one of the biggest clothing trends in winter and can be styled in a variety of ways. They look particularly elegant in soft cream and beige tones. You can wear patterned tights, a chic blazer, ankle boots or(Shop at NA-KD*) combine. An extra waist belt ensures a narrow middle.

Blogger Jessie Bush's look is also super cozy and yet really chic. For the festivities, she wears dark jeans and a cozy cable-knit sweater with a Norwegian pattern in light beige. The red lips and the black shoes with straps and glitter applications add more glamor.
