2024 Winter Holiday Fashion Trends I Love

A Touch of Feathers

Yes, you heard that right—feathers! Now, don’t get worried; I’m not saying you have to wear a whole feathered outfit! This year, feathers are making a comeback in the cutest way, just as an accent on cuffs, collars, or hems.

Imagine a blouse with just a little feather detail on the cuffs or a pair of pants like the ones I’m wearing with a little feather trim. It’s fun, feminine, and has a bit of whimsy without going over the top. This trend is perfect for a holiday get-together or New Year’s Eve. Just keep the rest of your look simple, and let those feathers do the talking!

I don’t have a lot of feathers in my closet to show you gurls, but I do have this feather clutch that is so fun to pull out from time to time. I paired my clutch with these machine-washable pants that have a removable feather trim, but they are sold out. Here is a pair from Chico’s and one from Tuckernuck that are very similar!

Velvet

Okay, I have to say it—velvet is the queen of winter fabrics. There’s something about it that just screams holiday elegance! Velvet in rich colors like emerald, navy, and burgundy is everywhere this season, and it feels so luxe. Whether it’s a velvet blazer or even some velvet pants, this is one fabric that’s going to elevate your look instantly.

I fell in love with this black velvet button-front shirt. During the holidays, I like having items that look festive without being too fancy. Velvet is sooo luxurious feeling and look, and it is great to wear for winter celebrations. I would wear this to a friend’s casual Christmas party. Adding fun, sparkly jewelry or shoes can make the outfit fancier.

Fair Isle

Ladies, if there’s one classic winter pattern that never goes out of style, it’s Fair Isle. This cozy knit pattern feels so nostalgic like you’re wrapped in a warm holiday hug. Fair Isle has been making a comeback in a big way this year, with updated colors and styles that are perfect for the holiday season.

One of my favorite ways to style Fair Isle is to pair a cozy sweater with dark jeans or even a long, flowing skirt. It’s a look that’s comfortable yet polished and works beautifully for everything from a holiday movie night at home to a casual get-together with friends.

Charcoal gray is huge this season, and I love it paired with the red and pink Fair Isle print. This makes for a casual holiday look but can be worn the entire winter season.

This Amazon Essentials sweater is so soft and comfy and comes in several different cute patterns. I’ve been a huge fan of FairIsle sweaters for years, and I love the shades of blue in this one. I’m wearing a medium, and it fits me great.

Gold and Rose Gold

Metallic gold and rose gold have been around for a few seasons, but this winter, it’s shining brighter than ever! They are perfect for the holiday season because they add just the right amount of glam without feeling over the top. Plus, it’s incredibly flattering on all skin tones, making it an easy choice for jewelry, accessories, and even clothing. I’m seeing lots of blush pinks paired with gold and rose gold, so I’m including some light pink items in this trend as well!

I love this jacket! It has so much personality, and I can’t wait to wear it with jeans, black velvet pants, ivory, you name it! I wore a cream turtleneck sweater underneath it, but you could wear something more sparkly to dress it up.

Here is an example of that pretty light pink that I’m seeing styled with the metallic golds and rose golds! I grabbed this sweater from Nordstrom. It also looks super pretty with chocolate browns if rose gold or metallic gold isn’t up your alley!
