Holiday Dressing Up: Which side are you on?
Every year when the holidays roll in — right alongside the peppermint, the parties, and the pressure to pick the perfect gift — another familiar question shows up too:
Do you dress up for the holidays… or keep it comfy-cozy?
And honestly, there’s no wrong answer.
Some of us live for the sparkle. The moment you pull out a chic sweater dress or slip into a pair of boots that instantly elevates the look, or adding that perfect necklace. Dressing up can make a simple gathering feel like a celebration. It’s a way to mark the moment, even if the event is just dinner at home with people you love.
And then there’s the other side — the cozy crew. The ones who think holidays should feel soft, warm, and effortless. Oversized knit tops, leggings you can curl up in, and outfits that look good but feel even better. There’s a certain confidence in choosing comfort and letting your personal style shine in a more relaxed way. Cozy doesn’t mean “not put together.” It means practical, polished, and at peace.
The truth? Holiday style isn’t one-size-fits-all.
Some days call for sparkle.
Some days call for softness.
Most of us are a little of both.
But no matter which side you’re on — dress-it-up or keep-it-casual — the holidays are the perfect time to wear something that makes you feel like your best self. Something that adds joy, confidence, and maybe even a little nostalgia to the season.
If you’re ready to find your holiday vibe, we have curated a collection just for that.
