The holidays are many glorious things—exciting, busy, joyful, a little chaotic—but one of the more negative things they are is expensive. With gifts for your family and friends, drinks and dinner for your festive girls’ night, and the million things in between, it’s understandable that there might not be much left over to spend on your holiday outfits.
Holiday clothes are a once-a-year-experience, chock-full of festive colors, sequins, and fun accessories that make you feel excited to dash out of the house to whatever event you have that day. But all of it can get expensive—and it can get expensive fast.
To help you look fabulous and still be able to have the budget for all of your holiday cheer, we’ve styled nine full outfits that cost under $100 each. Pair them with shoes and a jacket you already have in your closet and make this holiday season your most stylish one yet without breaking the bank.

Pair them with heels if you want to dress it up or your favorite loafers or booties if the vibe of your event is more casual.

The holiday season usually incorporates a cozy event or two, but that doesn’t mean it still can’t be in the spirit of the season. This cable-knit set is begging to be worn while sipping hot chocolate on Christmas morning—especially with the touch of red incorporated by our team’s favorite cozy slippers.
There’s nothing like a dress you can turn to for all of the elevated events—your office party, your S.O’s family party—and this one fits the bill. With tights, a sophisticated bag, and your favorite boots, you’ll feel put-together and festive.
