There’s so much to love about the holidays, from the pretty decorations and delicious food to the celebrations and quality time with loved ones. But if I’m being honest, my favorite part might just be having tons of excuses to go all out with my outfits. I’m a sucker for all things sparkly, plaid, and red, so holiday fashion is particularly aligned with my aesthetic sensibility.
Since my December calendar is already booked up with tons of festive plans, I decided to head to Nordstrom to try on some holiday-ready outfits IRL. The mall staple was overflowing with chic choices for any occasion—and plenty of them are on sale for Cyber Monday, too. Whether you’re looking for a party dress or a snuggly sweater, keep scrolling to shop my finds from Topshop, Free People, and Sam Edelman.
Editor-Approved Holiday Fashion From Nordstrom
Topshop Rib Puff-Sleeve Sweater
Nordstrom
TBH, I spend most of the holiday season lounging on the couch watching old movies or hanging out in the kitchen with family, so I like to have some comfy-cute outfit options. You can’t go wrong with a cozy, chunky knit like this Topshop sweater.
Free People Nia Exposed Button Wide-Leg Jeans
Nordstrom
With so many yummy holiday snacks to eat, I tend to gravitate toward baggier silhouettes that won’t feel too tight or suffocating. These Free People jeans are the perfect slouchy, effortlessly cool style.
All in Favor Faux Pearl-Embellished Sweater
Nordstrom
It doesn’t get much more festive than this adorable pearl-embellished cardigan. Choose between versatile gray or bold cranberry red.
All in Favor Plaid Miniskirt
Nordstrom
While the All in Favor cardigan would be so cute with your favorite jeans for a casual look, I dressed it up a bit with a plaid mini skirt from the brand. This flouncy mesh mini is made from a lightweight stretchy fabric.
Free People Tinsel Kiss Bubble Hem Halter Minidress
Nordstrom
Between the high halter neck and voluminous bubble skirt, this Free People mini dress is guaranteed to turn heads. I was impressed by how the stretchy, sculpting bodice fit like a glove. If you really want to level up the festive vibes, it comes in a plaid skirt version.
Sam Edelman Short Faux Fur Jacket
Nordstrom
A snuggly, luxe-looking fur coat is my go-to outerwear for holiday parties. The cropped gray style I tried on at Nordstrom was sold out online, but I love the shaggy faux shearling look of this similar Sam Edelman jacket.
