Affordable Holiday Outfits
Do you have any holiday parties or events to attend this season? Finding that perfectly festive outfit to wear can take some digging! You want to look a little “extra” without looking like one of the decorations! And, since in many cases the sparkly holiday pieces are ones you might not wear more than a time or two, we wanted to share some affordable finds in today’s For Less Friday post. You’ll be in the holiday spirit without breaking the bank. Each of these pieces has a little sparkle, a little shine, and a lot of style. Let’s dive in.
In case you missed it, our Holiday Capsule Wardrobe is full of gorgeous holiday-inspired pieces, and you can check it out here. Also, we shared 45 outfits for every occasion you have between now and the end of the year here. That post is for Busbee Style subscribers only so make sure you sign up for SMS to join our community!

Velvet Halter Top & Sequin Pants
Nothing screams “holiday” like velvet and sequins, right? This Bardot top can easily be dressed up or down depending on the dress code of your holiday party. We love the on-trend rosette detail at the halter neck. You can wear nippies or no bra with this top if you are smaller busted because the velvet material is so thick and supportive. The ruching under the bust is very flattering and this top has a beautiful open back! If you want a bit more coverage, you could always add a blazer over the top. It runs true to size. If you have a larger bust, stay tuned because we have something for you too!
Erin styled the halter top with a pair of black sequin pants by Open Edit. They are pull-on style, super comfortable, and SO fun! They’re lined on the inside, so you don’t have to worry about the sequins being itchy on your skin. The 28” inseam is perfect on Erin at 5’4” with heels and the fit is great. These also run true to size. If you want to dress the top down a bit, wear it with a pair of dark-wash jeans. If you also want to style pants more casually, try a t-shirt, blazer, and sneakers or a festive red sweater. We found that would be just perfect and shared it below…
You can see another way Erin styles the same top in this post where she shares several holiday tops for every occasion.
Affordable Holiday Fashion
Each of these fun and festive pieces can be dressed up or worn more casually for any holiday get-together you might have coming up! Keep reading for all the details on each along with a few styling tips too.
Fabulous Faux Leather
Faux leather pants are a fun alternative to black trousers, with the versatility of classic blue jeans. This pair from Daze has a high waist and wide leg that is super flattering. You can dress them up with the tops in this post, or pair them with something you already have in your closet. They have a 32 1/2″ inseam, so if you are 5’4″ and under, you’ll need to wear them with heels.
Sequin Midi
For some serious sparkle, this stunning sequin midi skirt by Aqua will certainly do the trick. Wear it with a black turtleneck sweater, simple t-shirt and blazer, or a solid-colored top in a holiday hue. Add a pair of heels, or edge it up a bit with sneakers or combat boots. You’d be surprised how versatile this skirt is!
Rhinestone Pumps
Continuing our sparkle and shine theme, how great are these pumps by Steve Madden? They are covered in rhinestone embellishments and have just under a 4-inch heel. These will easily dress up your jeans and top or black pants and blouse outfit!
Stylish Flats
We hear from a lot of women who, for whatever reason, prefer flats over heels. These rhinestone-embellished mules from Berness are gorgeous, stylish, and super affordable.
Cropped Sequin Tee
If this top looks familiar, we highlighted in Affordable Holiday Tops That Look Stunning with Your Favorite Jeans. It has a mock neck, long sleeves with pretty bell cuffs, and a beautiful, dramatic draped back. This top is perfect for a holiday party, a night out, or even during your family get-together at home for Christmas dinner. It also comes in black.
Eyelash Knit Cardigan
Our original pick, the eyelash knit crop cardigan from Open Edit, sold out, so we hunted down a worthy alternative. It turns out, the brushed cashmere cropped v-neck sweater from J.Crew might be even better. It features the same V-neckline, cropped length, and bright, cheery color, but in a super luxe, incredibly cozy brushed cashmere fabric. Dress it up or down depending on the occasion. And, you can easily wear this after the holidays too.
Eye-Catching Top
A shiny top will instantly elevate any outfit. Our two picks, the satin long sleeve top by ASTR The Label and this By Anthropologie Shine Buttondown Shirt, can dress up you favorite pair of jeans. You can also wear it with black pants or a skirt for a stylish holida
Sparkling Statement Earrings
These gorgeous earrings by Ettika are the perfect budget-friendly way to make a statement and lean into current holiday dressing trends. They come in gold, silver, and black, so you can easily incorporate them into any look this holiday season.
Glam Bag
A glam bag is great this time of year for when you don’t feel like wearing anything too sparkly, but you still want to jazz it up with your accessories. The Medium Crystal Embellished Oiled Suede Top Handle Bag from Madewell is the updated version of The Chain Mini Bag in Leather that we featured last year. With all-over sparkle, this bag will instantly glam-up a simple blouse and jeans, making you feel holiday ready.
