Stylish Holiday Outfit Ideas for Warm Weather

Ready or not, the holiday season is here. I always think I have plenty of time and then Bam! I blink and it’s Thanksgiving. 🦃 I’m actually looking forward to the season this year: the festive decorations, the music, the gatherings with family and friends. Several of you have asked for holiday outfits for warm weather, so today I’m sharing an easy, festive casual holiday outfit with jeans and a white shirt.

(Well, a slightly warm, creamy white in this case, though this look would also work with white white for those of you with cool palettes.)

An easy dressed-up casual holiday outfit for warmer climates

I’d promised a few posts back to show you how I styled this shirt. I like it untucked, and partially unbuttoned for a kind of louche, after-hours look. The slight sheen of the fabric and pleating details make it feel more dressy. It does have a relaxed fit, and could also be worn open over a shell or camisole. I think it’s just a bit too long for me, and will probably have it hemmed.

Just a note: this style seems to be selling out in some sizes. Scroll to your size on the product page to check availability. You might also check out these styles:

A dark wash jean will look more dressed up than a light or medium wash. The jeans I’m wearing here are from a prior season. Both the shirt and similar jeans linked are currently marked way down for Black Friday. If jeans aren’t your thing, a slim flare pant like these will also work.

I’m really smitten with these velvet flats. They’re also available in black. If you have a medium or narrow foot, you’ll want to go down 1/2 size from your usual. If your feet are medium-to-wide, try your regular size.

And should it turn a little chilly, this cashmere-silk wrap embellished with Swarovski crystals adds an elegant touch. (Save 25% for Black Friday with code BFP25.)

A few things to keep in mind if you’ll be shopping the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales…

We’re already being inundated with emails, flyers, and maybe even texts urging us to SHOP SHOP SHOP! It can get overwhelming, so I just wanted to share a few reminders to help you navigate the sales consciously and without stress:

👉 Make a list. Whether you’re looking for wardrobe items, holiday gifts, household items, holiday decor…make a list and keep it with you at all times. When you do shop, whether in person or online, look for those items on your list first.

👉 Consider what I call the Full Price Rule. It’s simple: if you wouldn’t look twice at an item at full price, don’t buy it on sale. It won’t satisfy you.

👉 Don’t let FOMO* drive you. This is related to the tip above. If you don’t find what you want, don’t feel you have to purchase something just to take advantage of an “amazing” discount or special promotion. There will always be more opportunities.

(*Fear Of Missing Out)

👉 Know the brand or store’s return policies. This is especially true if you’re shopping online. If the color or size or whatever isn’t what you’d anticipated, the last thing you want to realize is that it was Final Sale.

👉 Sometimes it’s worth paying full price. If an item is unique, or exactly what you’ve been looking for but inventory is limited, sometimes it’s better to get that one Just Right thing at full price than three “just OK’s” on sale. And if you’re willing to ride it out to see if your Goldilocks item eventually goes on sale, you can bookmark, use a retailer’s wish list feature, or if you’re following me in the LTK app, you can receive notification of a price drop for any product you’ve clicked on in the app.

And if you’ve opted out of shopping during the Cyber Week sales, that’s OK too.
