Cozy at-home party looks
Wrapped in comfort and style, this at-home holiday look proves cozy can still be effortlessly chic!
The Abercrombie cable-knit mockneck sweater (under $100!) brings that perfectly plush texture we crave on snow-filled mornings. Pair it with silky satin pajama-inspired pants in a rich burgundy hue for a touch of luxe lounge energy that feels straight out of a festive rom-com. Pair this look with an adorable bow sling-back flat and finish with a statement earring for just the right amount of glimmer.
Your holiday glow-up starts on the couch.
Glam party looks
Step into holiday glam with this cocktail-chic ensemble that delivers style and sparkle without breaking the bank!
The Banana Republic satin emerald green slip dress drapes effortlessly with that liquid-shine finish. Pair it with sleek silver budget-friendly heels to elongate the leg and dial up the confidence. Add instant drama with a statement sequin tassel top-handle bag (a total conversation starter for under $100) and top off the look with statement earrings, bringing just the right amount of shimmer.
Work party looks
Command the room at your holiday work party in this style-forward power suit that oozes confidence and polish, without the designer price tag!
This H&M tailored blazer and matching pant (each under $60!) deliver a sharp, sculpted silhouette that's equal parts classic and current. Ground the look with a patent heel for a sleek lift, then add a pop of color with a satin red mini bag, a festive statement that instantly elevates your neutral base. Finish this look with a pair of glimmering jewels for that perfect final flourish of shine.
Sophisticated, modern and budget-friendly, this look proves office-party chic has never been so approachable.
Glam looks you can rent
Amp up your holiday look by renting your dream dress and going full glam without the full-price commitment. With options like a sculpted, red-carpet-ready gown, a body-skimming printed dress, plush velvet cutouts, or a cool Scandi-inspired silhouette, you can lean all the way into a moment instead of playing it safe.
A rental lets you wear the show-stopper you actually want -- sequins, color, drama and all -- at a fraction of the retail price, so your budget stays happy while your outfit does the most.
