4 Easy Holiday Outfit Formulas We’re Relying on This Season

"When it comes to my style philosophy, I usually come back to one idea: why try to improve the classics? I love a plain white tee, some simple hoop earrings, a little black dress, or a perfectly-fitting pair of jeans. So, my go-to holiday outfit formula is equally simple: a slouchy, oversized knit sweater paired with some Levi's. The sweater is easy to throw on while still looking put-together, thanks to the turtleneck style, while the jeans are an always-reliable member of my wardrobe. Where I like to experiment is in the accessories: for a fancier holiday occasion, I'll pair this look with a chic pair of red slingbacks and a shiny red bag (both of which are guaranteed compliment-getters!). Altogether, it's just enough to feel comfortable and cozy while also adding a bit of seasonal glitz." — Helen Murphy, senior editor, branded content
