Fair Isle Sweater + Jeans Outfit

This outfit is perfect for everyday wear or heading to casual laid back gathering or a party which is not black tie or cocktail. 

Fair isle sweaters are my favorite for holiday time and if you get something like this one which is not an all over fair isle sweater, then you ca also wear it post holiday in winter and to your ski trips. 

I added an evening bag which is the same color tone as the sweater color. This makes this outfit put together and perfect for parties. To complete this look I added pearl dangly earrings which dresses up this casual denim outfit. 

Being color coordinated and adding simple touches like the pearl earrings and the bow evening bag makes this outfit dressy.

Matching Fair Isle Sweater + Sweater Skirt Outfit

Want to look chic but it’s just too cold outside to wear satin or regular skirts? Try this outfit where I am wearing a red fair isle sweater and a pink sweater skirt. This outfit is cozy and stylish. Pink and red go very well together and you instantly look festive without having to wear fancy clothes. 

You can add pink or red pumps of ballet flats for a dressed up outfit. But if you want to make it casual, then swap the pumps with black tall boots or ankle boots. 

Pair puffer coat or regular wool coat and be Christmas ready without all the bells and whistles.

Another really laidback yet classy fair isle sweater outfit is to pick a classy fair isle cardigan. The color does not have to be flashy if you are planning to wear this look to work or any other event where you want to not stand out. 

Add a basic tshirt underneath for additional layering. And pair it with black pants or jeans. 

You can pick black pumps or go with black ballet flats based on your comfort level. This outfit looks classy yet the fair isle pattern adds a holiday vibe to your outfit.

You don’t have to wear red or holiday related tops for your outfit to look festive. This chunky cardigan that you can wear everyday with a pair of blue jeans looks casual yet cute because of the fuchsia color. I added slingback flats that are so comfortable but it dresses up this denim outfit by adding a feminine touch. 

Since you are exposing your feet a bit, I added a faux fur coat to this outfit that will keep you cozy but because its in white shade, it looks more dressed up.

For the evening bag, I chose a black slouchy embellished evening bag that is so chic and perfect for day and night parties. 

Added pearl earrings and a pendant necklace that makes your outfit look cuter and chic.

This is the perfect everyday outfit with a holiday spin on it. And the cool part is that you can wear even after holidays are over. A cable knit sweater dress is a classic holiday dress but in white it looks luxurious and stylish.  The belt on the waist adds a dressed up touch to this normal sweater dress. 

I also love all the red pieces that bring a holiday vibe. The red puffer coat is functional and cute. It looks fun and festive when paired with white.

I added sheer tights that will keep your legs warm and also dresses up this casual outfit. I own these ankle boots and I have to tell you they are so fun and great quality pieces that you can wear year after just like I have. 

You don’t have to wear a red crossbody bag, but this bag adds a holiday touch to any outfit, so had to shoe you how it looks with this outfit. Did I forget about the white pom pom beanie that looks cute and adds a winter white touch this outfit.

You can dress it up with pumps or dress it down with flats or boots depending on where you are headed. If you are going to a home party, wear shoe that you can easily take off. But if its an outdoor party, boots would be great.

Red Top + Faux Fur Coat Outfit

A satin blouse is perfect for holiday season and a red one paired with dark blue jeans looks casual yet so chic and dressy. I would tuck in the blouse, to look put together, but if you are uncomfortable doing a full tuck, you can also do a front tuck. 

The red and blue denim color looks fun and cute on all body and ski tones. I added black ankle boots with pointed toe that looks casual but sophisticated as well. The slight block heels dresses up the outfit. 

For outerwear, I picked black short faux fur coat to add a festive touch to this outfit, but the length is perfect to be worn with jeans and pants. Finished off the outfit with black crossbody bag which has slight gold details and minimalistic jewelry.

Green Cardigan + Corduroy Pants Outfit

Corduroy pants will never go out of style. And they are the best winter casual bottoms that you can also dress up. Yes, I know they used to be last season but now they are back with a stylish twist. In this outfit I paired green corduroy pants with green v neck cardigan creating a monochrome outfit that looks chic and stylish.

I paired it with black coat, so I don’t take anything away from the overall look. I added pair of black flats to tone down the look, but the pointed toe still makes this outfit look cute and dressy.

White Sweater + Red Coat Outfit

This is my favorite casual outfit for winter. All white always look expensive and really nice. With a white sweater and jeans you are also casual and comfortable. Since this outfit might look boring, so I decided to add a nude belt to break up the all white and create a waist definition. 

I added loafers instead of boots that dresses up this look. But you can totally wear white boots. The pop of red with the red plaid scarf and coat looks cute and festive. You can wear this outfit with any combination of plaid color, but this just looks perfect for a Christmas party.
