Wanted to share some new holiday outfits from Old Navy — and there are a bunch of different ways you can mix and match these pieces for endless outfit combinations!
First up … the Old Navy plaid flannel is a great investment piece for the holidays. There are SO MANY different ways you can wear one of these, both casual and dressy.
Just think of the possibilities:
- With jeans, like I’m wearing it below
- Tucked into dress pants or a skirt
- Layered underneath a sweater
- Open and layered over a turtleneck or dress
- Knotted over a dress (see below)
Next up, holiday sweaters are an equally smart layering piece to make lots of new holiday outfits — you can wear them by themselves, layered over a plaid button-down shirt or dress, and they can be worn casually with jeans or dressed up with dress pants or a skirt.
I went with a simple cream colored sweater, but Old Navy has so many great styles and patterns to choose from!
Next up, I tried on this really cute fitted long sleeve henley midi dress. Personally I’m really working on trying out different silhouettes, including more form-fitting pieces, and getting myself more comfortable with wearing things I think are cute even if my stomach is showing. This henley dress is a perfect example of that! Life is way too short to not wear things you love.
And yes, you can totally experiment with layering a plaid flannel button down over your fitted dresses — I tried buttoning it and tying it at the waist, but you could even leave it open and loose for a more casual vibe (see how they’ve styled it that way here).
Next up, I also tried layering a cropped sweater (the same one from earlier) over the henley dress — this works too!
Here are some tips on the best way to experiment with this trend when picking out new holiday outfits:
- Play with proportions: if you’re wearing a long dress, try pairing it with a cropped sweater. A mini dress with a natural waist will work nicely with a cardigan that hits right at your natural waist, too. Or you can throw a long cardigan over it and belt it at your natural waist too!
- Play with colors and prints, too: If you’re wearing a solid dress, try a printed sweater and vice-versa. You can also try color-blocking and monochromatic looks too — like a navy dress with a pale blue sweater layered over it. Have fun with it!
