Festive Style for Every Occasion: Holiday Looks That Shine

With the holidays upon us, it's time to embrace festive outfits for every occasion—from cozy family gatherings to formal celebrations out on the town. While dressing up in style is essential, creating casual looks that still feel chic and elevated can be a bit trickier. At Style Encore, you'll find everything you need to dress for the season, whether you're attending intimate gatherings at home, dazzling parties or anything in between.

Both men and women can easily create a relaxed yet stylish look by layering a soft sweater over a classic button-up—especially if the button-up features a festive plaid! Dark-wash jeans are a versatile choice for any occasion, even casual ones. For added warmth and style, both genders can layer a cozy knit cardigan over a t-shirt or button-up. Complete the look with boots or patent loafers for a polished and comfortable finish, perfect for casual dinners or holiday shopping.

If your plans call for something more festive, elevate your look with rich textures like velvet, tweed or beaded and sequined details. Men can pair a sharp blazer with chinos and a crisp shirt for a refined yet approachable look. For the ladies, a statement dress—whether a shimmery metallic piece or a classic LBD—paired with heels or elegant flats makes for a chic choice. Embrace the season’s trends by opting for pieces in deep, oceanic blues or vibrant olive greens to add a seasonal touch.

To complete your look, don’t forget the accessories! Think bejeweled earrings, a bold clutch or a sleek tie with understated cufflinks to add that perfect festive touch. With Style Encore’s curated collection of gently used men’s and women’s clothing, you’ll find stylish, budget-friendly options for every holiday event. Whether you're dressing up or keeping it cozy, Style Encore makes it easy to shine all season long.
