"If your holiday outfits (understandably) didn’t get prioritized and you’re scrambling for outfits to wear this week, you’re in luck: All you really need for a festive, party-worthy outfit is a red sweater.
From a cozy Christmas morning to a fancy holiday dinner, your red sweater can be dressed up, down, and anywhere in between. If you’re just getting around to getting your holiday outfits mapped out, you don’t need to rush out and brave the last-minute gift shopping crowds to buy something new. Below, we’re breaking down six holiday outfits that you can style with your red sweater.
1. A red sweater and trousers
Make your favorite work trousers feel festive by pairing them your trusty red sweater. Regardless of their color—though we are partial to a pair of plaid or ecru ones for this particular look—they’ll give you a put-together look in a jiff. May we suggest pulling it all together by putting a bow in your hair and reaching for a metallic bag?

2. A red sweater, jeans, and kitten heels
Getting ready for your family’s Christmas party? Pair your red sweater with a pair of straight-leg jeans and your favorite kitten heels. The polished combination will please both you and your family (even your pesky uncle that always gives you a hard time for wearing ripped jeans).

3. A red sweater layered over a white button-up
Need your red sweater to feel a bit more dressed up? Layer it over a white button-up. The contrast of the red with the addition of a white collar popping out of the top will make your look feel a bit more elevated, especially if you opt for a red cardigan. To prevent it from feeling too business casual, pair the duo with a black mini skirt and your favorite loafers, ballet flats, or knee-high boots.

4. A red cardigan with only the top buttoned
One of my recent favorite styling hacks? Buttoning only the top button of a cardigan. Layer a red cardigan over a white tee with only the top button of the cardigan secured, and pile on your favorite accessories for a casual-cool look fitting of a trip to your town’s most decked-out holiday bar.

5. A red sweater, plaid skirt, and loafers
There’s no such thing as too much of a good thing, right? Level up your red sweater by pairing it with a plaid mini skirt for the ultimate holiday vibes. If you want to take it a step further, opt for a monochrome moment by opting for red tights instead of your classic black ones.
For a gift exchange with friends
Wearing a sweater the regular way? Boring. Instead, drape yours over your shoulders for a chic, effortless effect. Especially if you’re prone to overheating—or are heading to a party that you know will be crowded and have the heat blasting—draping your sweater over a blouse or bodysuit will make it serve as a festive accessory.
