Christmas Eve Outfits That Will Make You A Glow-Up

Your Christmas Eve outfit should be as timeless as the memories you’ll create tonight.

Christmas Eve: that magical night when you’re expected to be festive, fabulous, and cozy, all at the same time. It’s the night before Christmas, and while everyone else is busy scrambling to finish wrapping gifts or figuring out how to deal with Aunt Carol’s infamous fruitcake, you, girl are about to step into the holiday spotlight. And, of course, the million-dollar question is: What on earth should you wear?

Sure, you could go the easy route with your favorite Christmas sweater (nothing wrong with that, by the way), but let’s be real, this is Christmas Eve. You deserve an outfit that is not only chic but also makes sure you can comfortably dodge those awkward family photos where you inevitably get roped into a group shot. You know, the one where you’re trying to smile with a mouthful of mashed potatoes.

Well, I got you covered for this one atleast. Whether you’re lounging around with family, attending a glitzy holiday soirée, or managing to squeeze in a last-minute Christmas Eve date, the right outfit can make all the difference. You can still be chic and festive without feeling like you’re about to perform a one-person version of The Nutcracker (although, if you do feel like busting out some pirouettes, we won’t judge).

In this article, I’ve rounded up the best Christmas Eve outfits to copy this year, outfits that check all the boxes: stylish, comfy (but not too comfy, because we know you want to look like you made an effort), and ready for any last-minute plans that might pop up. From dress outfits that twirl just as beautifully as your Christmas spirit, to faux fur accents that will have you feeling like a snow queen, we’re here to make sure you shine brighter than the star on top of the tree.

So, skip the “what-do-I-wear” stress this time and scroll down for the perfect look to ring in the holiday magic. It’s time to sleigh this holiday season, and we’ve got the outfits to prove it!
