When Kohl's throws a holiday party, you can count on the best gifts and tons of affordable holiday dressing ideas, which is exactly what I got after attending the "New Gifts at Every Turn" launch event in celebration of their NYC holiday pop-up shop. Oh, and some first-hand advice on shopping affordable holiday outfits from Emma Roberts and Lea Michele (casual).
The immersive holiday shop — which features mini shops from iconic Kohl's brands like Simply Vera Vera Wang and LC Lauren Conrad as well as buzzy new labels JW Jason Wu and Elizabeth and James — is a treasure trove of gifts for everyone on your shopping list. What's more, it's an amazing spot to shop for affordable holiday outfits whether you're in need of a new party dress, wintry work ensemble, or festive pair of heels.
To help you dream up the perfect holiday outfit, I had a few minutes to chat with both Emma and Lea about their go-to holiday outfit formulas, from Emma's genius style hack for re-wearing the same dress to multiple parties, to Lea's recommended look for meeting your significant other's family for the first time (the pressure!). Plus, their affordable accessory picks, and gifts to tie it all together.
Keep scrolling for their holiday tips ahead. Then, shop all the pieces you need to re-create each holiday outfit on your own, all from Kohl's.
Emma Roberts On Her Favorite Affordable Holiday Accessory
"I love anything I can wear tights with. I love glittery tights, polka-dot tights, colored tights. When you have a lot of holiday parties to go to, you can re-wear certain dresses [with a different pair of tights] and have a different moment. That's my little holiday party trick."

Emma Roberts on Her Favorite Fashion Gift to Give
"I always get my sister a piece of jewelry. I got her a little snake earring one year, she loved that. I love to get my mom a little bracelet that says 'mom' or any kind of cute little piece. I got her a little pink diamond band and me and matching one one year."

Lea Michele on Her Favorite Holiday Outfits
"For me, it's always about a comfortable black pant. I just got one from Elizabeth from James downstairs. It's perfect because you can wear it with a great boot, a chunky sweater, and a chic coat. I also really love a little bit of the Rachel Berry miniskirt situation with tights and a chunky sweater."

Lea Michele on Winter Shoes and Her Favorite New Purchase From Kohl's
"I'm seeing a lot of people wearing really cool loafers and combat boots. I need to get on [those trends] because I feel like I'm a little stagnant in that zone. I just got a pair of Nine West boots from Kohl's and I'm like, great, that's it. I have my leather boots for the holidays. But I need to mix it up a little bit, too."
