How to Create Festive Christmas Looks Using Clothes You Already Own

You don’t need to buy a whole new wardrobe to look festive this holiday season. With a little creativity, you can put together Christmas-inspired outfits using pieces you already have. I have put together 11 ways to style your everyday clothes for a cheerful, holiday-ready look!

If you ARE looking to fill some holes in your wardrobe or add something to your outfit rotation, I will link each outfit below each photo (if pieces are older or unavailable, I will link similar styles. This will be noted in the LTK description).

As always, I use affiliate links. This just means I earn a small commission if you shop using these links, at no additional cost to you. I appreciate you shopping my links as it helps me to continue putting together these posts. Thank you!

A pop of red: to make almost any outfit feel more Christmasy, throw on a red accessory (a beanie like this one, or a red scarf, red mittens, red bag, red shoes etc)

Try burgundy: if you don’t love red, try burgundy! It’s a trending color right now & it works for all sorts of occasions (Thanksgiving/ Valentines & Christmas!). Make it extra cute by matching your socks!

Wear a satin top: a satin top is a great investment for holiday events, winter date nights, or when you want to feel more dressed up!

Wear a festive sweater: a fair isle sweater in a neutral color is super cozy & will get lots of wear ALL winter long!

Wear white: white knits are perfect for the winter season— make it even cozier with a textured scarf!

Wear satin or go for a monochromatic outfit: a satin slip skirt (in any color!) is always a winner for the holidays. I went ahead & made a green monochromatic look & love how festive it feels!

Wear a red top: a red sweater is a cute way to feel festive & something you can wear year after year (it doesn’t even have to be printed like this one!).

Throw on a holiday scarf: the plaid colors in this scarf make it perfect for Christmas, but a solid scarf in green, red, white, or cream would work too!

Wear green: green is one of my favorite colors to wear so this is a really easy one for me!

Wear festive jewelry: stick with a neutral outfit and add red or green jewelry! These two pieces are from Sela Designs and you can use MARISSA10 for $$ off.

If all else fails, wear all black: all black works for almost EVERY occasion-it’s classic, chic, & easy!

Fourth of July Outfits/Memorial Day Outfits/Patriotic Outfits

Here are a few festive-ish outfits for 4th of July (or Memorial Day, or whenever you want to dress patriotically).

I will link each outfit under its photos.

This one is super easy—a comfy (100% cotton!) USA tee and cutoffs. These shorts have a stretchy waistband in the back making them super comfy!

Outfit linked HERE.

This one is soooo comfy! Linen pants (or shorts, if you’d rather!) and a festive colored high neck tank (could do blue or white if you’d rather!). Pair it with some cute sandals and voila!

Outfit linked HERE.

This one is for the girls who prefer jeans or maybe it’s cooler out— a cute tank and denim always wins! This top is festive, boho, and fun. I also linked some other boho tops because this one has limited sizing.

Outfit linked HERE.

A white tank is classic! Pair it with a fun scarf or bandana (mine is thrifted) and some cutoffs and you’re all set!

Outfit linked HERE.

This outfit would be more festive with a blue or red bag, but green is what I have so it’s what I used! I still love how it turned out 🙂
