Staying casually festive and not trying too much
Basically, a casually festive look is intended for any non-formal holiday event on your calendar this year. For a festive, yet casual plus-size Christmas outfit, try pairing a simple sweater or long-sleeve tunic with a statement skirt.
We love the look of a satin or sequined midi skirt with solid tights and a basic top. You might also go for a fun tunic or long-sleeve top with jeans or leggings. The casually festive look is all about mixing simple wardrobe staples with bold, holiday pieces.
The black No Brainer Lace Tunic from multiple brands of clothing and their winter line is one of our favorites when it comes to plus-size Christmas clothes.
Pair this top with jeans or leggings and finish the ensemble with a sparkly scarf, some statement earrings, and a red lip color. We carry lots of flattering plus-size jeans and leggings perfect for this holiday look.
The classic sweater and skirt look
One of our favorite plus-size Christmas outfit ideas is a seasonal skirt and sweater combo that’s all things classic for the holidays. This look is the perfect balance between formal and casual and can be worn to virtually any event this season.
Whether you’re heading to a friend’s house for dinner, hosting a party at home, going out on the town, or even just heading to work, this timeless ensemble will make any occasion feel extra special.
Go for either a statement sweater with a simple skirt or a plain sweater with a textured or patterned skit. When it comes to plus-size Christmas outfits for women, we adore the All My Life Plaid Sweater paired with a basic black skirt.
The soft material will keep you cozy no matter where you’re going, and the hem tie detail is the perfect amount of trendy. The heather gray Great Timing Sweater is also an excellent piece if you’re considering what plus size Christmas clothes to add to your wardrobe.
It can be worn with a printed or bold-colored skirt. To complete the skirt and sweater holiday classic outfit, try over-the-knee boots, opaque tights, a long trench coat, and a simple makeup look.

Retro Swing Dresses
This entire year, retro themed clothes have dominated the market and for good reason. There was a slight need to go back in time and sort of reform the fashion norms.
If the entire year has seen a wave of retro styles come and dominate the market, why not end the year wearing something retro to the year’s eve.
If you are one plus size lady looking to wear something retro come the last day of the year, we suggest you opt for a retro swing dress. It has a sweet charm to it and the yoke and vintage neckline adds lovely detail to the dress up top.
The full skirt also will have an adorable swishing when and if you decide to scorch the dance floor.
A Shiny Black Dress
Flattering and classy, your little black dress is the type of wardrobe essential that you can always depend on. To enhance this sophisticated look, invest in a pair of polka dotted tights and put on your black heels.
Make a statement with your purse, pull your hair to the side for a full effect, and enjoy a night with friends and fireworks. Black is the color for every occasion and it is a color with which you can never put a foot wrong.
The tights and the heels add for a brilliant party look and complete the ensemble beautifully. With a little shiny black dress, you are ready to make a statement and dance the night off with your friends and loved ones.
Off shoulder tops and skirts
Off shoulder tops, after you nail them make you look drop dead gorgeous. Dancing your night away with a few drinks and your friends has become a big trend of how the new year’s eve goes.
They are really eye catching and make you stand out among the possibly huge number of people up at the new year’s eve party. You can pair an oss shoulder top with jeans as well but we prefer skirts because they give plus size ladies the edge and basically make the combination look more suited for a huge party which a new year’s eve is all about.
Glamming up Christmas with dazzling pieces
This look is for curvy gals who have some serious celebrating to do this Christmas season. If you’ve got an event coming up this Christmas that you need to be a little more dressed up for, kick things up a notch with a glammed-up ensemble.
Skip the leggings or jeans this time and consider a skirt or dress. At a lot of brands and clothing shops there are tons of plus-size Christmas dresses and New Year’s Eve Dresses to choose from in all cuts and styles. Whether you prefer maxi, wrap, midi, or shift dresses, we’ve got you covered.
Christmas is around the corner and while we personally, cannot wait for the huge feast to begin, we also cannot wait for shopping the right clothes to wear during Christmas eve. There are a lot of options out there, these mentioned above are some of the popular ones. We leave you at peace to make your choice and choose what you feel is right for your body.
