Oh the holidays! What a season filled with so many great colors, bright lights, and unbelievable smells. It’s also the busiest time of year for many, and typically that busy shows itself in the form of wonderful holiday parties! If you’re anything like me, and other fashion-lovers I know, your holiday party outfits have to be on point. In prior years, I would have told you that it can be difficult for a girl my size to find the perfect holiday party outfit… But thanks to so many great plus-size options, curvy holiday party outfits are not so difficult to find!
Now, I say Curvy instead of plus-size for the most part because most of these outfits have a wide range of sizes they fit. Most fit at least sizes 10-30, and some even go all the way down to much smaller. I like variety, and I like ideas for every body type. Also, these are ideas. You don’t have to buy the exact thing in the photo, but use it for inspiration for finding something similar that you have easier access to or that is less expensive. 🙂
Holiday Party Outfits: The Wintery Woman
The Wintery Woman is elegant, usually decked out in ice and glammed up. This look is elegant, sophisticated, and yet kind of simple and lovely. She’ll be the guest at the winter wedding that the bride asks her where she got her dress, but without any jealousy because they both look beautiful. If you’re the hostess of the party, expect a lovely hostess gift of fine wine, tied with a beautiful shimmery ribbon.

Holiday Party Outfits: The Party Pinup
The Party Pinup is likely the person hosting the party… Or, if not, they quickly take over the hostessing duties to make the rounds and ensure everyone’s drinks are topped off. The hostess doesn’t mind, in fact after all the cleaning and cooking she’s done that day, she’s happy to turn it over to her friend that loves the role. You can find her restocking dishes, cleaning up after others, and laughing at everyone’s jokes earnestly. Everyone loves her for her bubbly personality and her desire to ensure everyone is comfortable and enjoying themselves.

She’s the friend who’s been away a lot, off on grand adventures, and now she’s back for the holidays to regale everyone with tales from afar while everyone admires her extravagant attire.

You can always count on her to be the first to kick up the music and invite you into the middle of the room for a dance. She’ll also be the last to leave, if she doesn’t just crash on your couch.

Holiday Party Outfits: The Monochromatic Muse
The Monochromatic Muse is anything but dull, though her lack of color may make you think so when she first walks into the party. That is, it does before you see the flash of her sequins and the quality of the velvet and suede that adorn her outfit. She has a taste for quality, and she likes to be the most stunning thing in the outfit she’s wearing. She’s definitely a fascinating one, and anyone who sits next to her at the party is lucky indeed.

Holiday Party Outfits: The Captivating Caroler
The captivating caroler somehow convinces the whole party to go out caroling, even though it’s late and dark and snowing. Everyone is pretty sure that it has something to do with her fantastic homemade eggnog, but somehow knocking on your neighbors doors and singing just feels warm and right… Kind of like this friend herself.
