The holiday season is here, and the opportunities for great outfits feel almost endless. I have so many events, parties, dinners, and trips to reunite with family coming up to celebrate the end of the year. This year, I'm planning on bringing it not only when it comes to holiday gifts for my friends and family but also outfits that are guaranteed to turn heads. When it comes to a great holiday look, you can go so many different ways.

You can go for a classic metallic party dress, or maybe you're leaning toward a chic jumpsuit or look with pants. I'm also loving all things velvet, and if there are feathers involved, I'm on board. This is the time to have a little fun with your holiday looks, and I'm even loving a Barbiecore holiday vibe. I sported a sparkly hot-pink dress to the Saks Fifth Avenue holiday-window-display reveal and light show and gained tons of compliments. I rounded up 28 items that would be perfect for any holiday events on your calendar.
