"Earlier this week, I was mindlessly doing things on my computer (read: online shopping and researching dream vacations I can’t afford) when I glanced at the corner of my screen, at the date in the top toolbar. I had a mini existential crisis and thought: that absolutely can’t be right.

But, in fact, it was. We’re well over halfway through December, and more importantly, Christmas is sneaking up on us very quickly. If you thought you had lots of time to get your holiday looks together, think again, because Christmas Eve is just a few days away (*gasp*)!
However, you know we have you covered. Whether you don’t have time to order a new outfit, don’t want to spend more money, or just want to utilize what’s already in your closet to dress up for the holidays this year, you’re bound to have the items to recreate at least one of these looks. Here are 8 last-minute holiday outfits utilizing pieces you already own—plus a couple of Amazon Prime items if you need that one last thing to complete the look.
1. Monochrome sweater + long skirt
Nothing says chic quite like a monochrome moment, especially in winter whites or pops of silver. Pair your favorite sweater with a coordinating slip skirt, and you have an instant effortless outfit.
2. Wrap sweater + jeans + pumps
A wrap sweater is great because you get the comfort and coziness of any other sweater, but with the added bonus of looking a little more dressy. Pair this with your go-to jeans and dress up the look with some classic pumps.
3. All brown everything
While you might think of black, white, and metallics as the holiday neutrals, brown deserves a moment as well. Pull out everything you own in brown—a sweater, a skirt, a fur coat—and throw it all together for an undeniably chic look.
4. Red dress + tights + sparkly accessories
This timeless holiday combo is a classic for a reason. Pull that red dress out of your closet and pair it with black tights and festive accessories.
5. Oversized sweater + jeans + headband
Want to go monochrome, but a bit more casual? This is the outfit for you. Throw on an oversized sweater with some wide-leg jeans and top it off with a chic black headband.
6. Black sweater dress + silver heels
You can’t go wrong with flattering all black, and this one has the added bonus of one of our favorite trends as of late: silver shoes.
7. Little black dress + black tights
Do you have a formal party to attend this holiday season? Throw on your trusty LBD and jazz it up with black tights and a few sparkly accessories.
8. A classic jumpsuit
If you’re looking for something that looks put-together but is also very comfortable (with room for that Christmas dinner), opt for your favorite jumpsuit. Bonus points if it’s a festive satin material or a holiday color.
