While it might be hard to believe (to me, it feels like the Fourth of July was last month), the holiday season is upon us. Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and then after that, we’ll be in full festive mode. The month of December comes with a lot of joy and all-around merriment. But it also comes with a packed social calendar. There are holiday parties, Christmas shows and markets, gift exchanges, events for the kids, and more to attend.

All of this is very exciting to look forward to, but it also requires quite a bit of planning. From the scheduling details all the way down to the outfits you will wear. You’ll want to look cute, stay warm, and be comfortable. And of course, you’ll want to add just the right amount of festive holiday flair. 

That’s why we’ve curated a holiday capsule wardrobe that has every fashion piece you’ll need to get through the season looking and feeling your best. This time of year is already busy enough, so the last thing you need is extra hassle in picking out your clothes.

We’ve curated these 21 pieces with practicality and functionality in mind. They’re specially picked to mix and match, as well as to complement staple clothing items you might already have in your closet. Keep scrolling to shop The Everymom’s 2024 Holiday Capsule Wardrobe—and find styling ideas as well!

Why create a holiday capsule wardrobe?

The goal of a capsule wardrobe is to be able to put any of these pieces together and instantly look effortlessly chic. You’ll no longer have to spend lots of time searching through your closet for pieces that “go together.” Instead, you’ll take comfort in knowing that you can throw on any of your capsule pieces for an outfit that will have you feeling your best. 

When it comes to creating a capsule wardrobe for the holiday season, the ease of putting together outfits is at top of mind. We know your schedules are jam-packed with activities and parties. So what you’re going to wear is one less thing you have to think about.

We’ve handpicked these pieces to include a solid foundation of holiday-appropriate basics, and then mixed in some unique, on-trend items for when you want to make a statement. You’ll find a few of the hottest trends of the holiday season, such as bows, cherry red, and silky satin. Comprised of mostly neutral pieces with pops of metallics and red, this capsule has everything you need for a festive season spent feeling your best.

How to Style the Holiday Capsule Wardrobe

As mentioned, the 21 pieces above were specially curated to mix and match for any occasion you have this holiday season. Whether you’re heading to a holiday party or to your kids’ school for a seasonal concert, you can rely on your holiday capsule wardrobe to have the perfect outfit for you. From comfy-cozy to all-out festive, this wardrobe has it all.

The options here are endless: Dress down any of the pieces with ballet flats, or up the glam level with the statement silver pumps. Throw in one of the season’s hottest fashion trends—bows—with the red bow sweater or the adorable pearl bag, and finish off any look with your choice of cozy coat. Lastly, add fun hair accessory like a velvet headband or a crystal hair clip.
