While there are a million magical things about the holiday season, there’s nothing quite like finally getting to put on those festive outfits that you only get to wear a few times a year. The deep tones, luxe fabrics, and all-around vibes that they bring only come around one time a year—and we’re here to celebrate that, no matter what.Sure, your holiday season is going to be less going to Christmas markets and more lounging on the couch, but that doesn’t mean you should skip out on holiday dressing altogether. We say that you should be making the holiday season as normal as possible for yourself, and for many of us, that includes breaking out the items in our wardrobe that love to make an appearance come December.
Whether your holidays will consist of your immediate family, socially-distanced family parties, or just figuring out how to celebrate on your own, our 2020 holiday capsule wardrobe has pieces for every and any occasion. Mix, match, and wear these together from now through January.
