5 Stunning Plus Size Holiday Outfits to Own the Season
The holiday season is here, and it’s time to shine! Whether you’re heading to a festive work event, a holiday gala or a cozy Christmas dinner, finding the right look can boost your confidence and make every moment more memorable. As a plus size woman, I know the struggle of finding clothes that not only fit well but also radiate elegance and comfort. That’s why I’m thrilled to share my top five plus size holiday outfits that will help you slay every occasion this season.
From timeless classics to bold statement pieces, these looks are designed to inspire your wardrobe and your mindset. Let’s dive in!
#1 - Velvet Visionary: Luxe & Versatile
Nothing says holiday glam quite like velvet. This ASOS velvet suit set, adorned with pearl accents, is the definition of luxurious yet approachable. The soft, rich fabric feels like a dream, and the subtle pearl details add just the right amount of sparkle.
I styled this look with classic black suede pumps, a pearl-beaded clutch, and simple dangle earrings to keep the focus on the suit. It’s perfect for company cocktail parties, holiday charity galas, or any event where you want to turn heads.
Sizing Details
I’m wearing a size 24, and at 5’9", I found this suit to be a little long on me. So if you’re under 5’9", be prepared for some tailoring to achieve the perfect fit.
#2 - Red Radiance: Festive & Fun
Bring the heat to your next holiday dinner with this bold red ribbed knit dress from H&M. Red isn’t just a Christmas color—it represents love, energy, and confidence. Pairing it with a plaid blazer from Torrid’s Betsy Johnson collaboration adds a touch of classic holiday charm, while candy cane earrings and a green-and-gold clutch complete the look.
This outfit is ideal for family gatherings, Christmas dinners, or even a festive day at the office. The red dress hugs your curves in all the right places while keeping you comfortable.
Sizing Details
The dress is in an XXL, and the blazer is a size 24. I paired it with Sheertex black stockings in a size 4X for warmth and durability.
#3 - Glamorous Edge: Bold & Daring
If you’re looking for a dramatic plus size New Year’s outfit, look no further than Glamorous Edge. This pearl- and sequin-embellished mini skirt is a showstopper on its own, but pairing it with a sleek black mesh top balances the boldness of the skirt.
Accessories are key with this outfit—I added a silver chain necklace, a cropped white faux fur jacket from ARULA, and a tasseled clutch from Amazon. It’s edgy, glamorous, and perfect for a New Year’s Eve countdown or a festive night out.
Sizing Details
The mini skirt is a size 26, and the mesh top is from Cider in a size 24. The skirt fits snugly at the hips but runs a bit loose at the waist.
#4 - Emerald Elegance: Classic & Chic
Green is more than a holiday staple—it symbolizes growth and renewal. This emerald green bubble dress from Pretty Little Thing is the ultimate plus size Christmas outfit, blending timeless elegance with festive flair.
I paired the dress with red tights from Amazon for a pop of color and added gold pumps and a rhinestone clutch for a polished finish. It’s perfect for family celebrations, church services, or even a holiday brunch with friends.
Sizing Details
I’m wearing a size 24 in the dress, and while the bodice is slightly loose, the fit on the hips is just right. If you’re in between sizes, consider sizing down.
#5 - Tweed Chic: Polished & Cozy
For a more versatile option, Tweed Chic is a polished cropped tweed jacket and skort set from ELOQUII. This outfit transitions seamlessly from day to night, making it ideal for festive work parties or day dates.
I styled it with melanin fleece tights for warmth, black loafers with gold detailing, and a faux crocodile leather handbag. To elevate the look for an evening event, swap the loafers for heeled boots or pumps.
Sizing Details
Both the jacket and skort are size 24. The skort fits perfectly, but the jacket is snug, especially in the arms. Size up if you prefer more room or plan to wear layers underneath.
Additional Styling Tips for Your Holiday Outfits
To make these outfits truly your own, keep the following tips in mind:
1. Accessorize with Purpose: Add bold earrings, statement necklaces, or festive clutches to elevate your look.
2. Fit Matters: Tailoring can make a world of difference, especially for long pieces like the ASOS suit set.
3. Confidence is Key: The holidays are about celebrating yourself, so wear what makes you feel amazing!
