Forget summer celebrations or vacation packing — when the holidays roll around, styling requires more consideration than any other time of year. We're talking back-to-back events (your work party, their work party, or that random potluck you forgot about), and then, of course, the more momentous holiday occasions: Christmas dinner, community gatherings, and New Year’s Eve itself.

The holidays amplify everything — and your outfit becomes part of the season’s storytelling. There are also multiple factors to consider when selecting an outfit this season — will I be warm enough? Am I festive, or fun, or sexy, or [insert adjective]? Is there room for the inevitable food baby conceived by gorging on sweet treats? All of these concerns are valid. And when it’s time to shop, the goal becomes finding something versatile — and hopefully timeless — enough to carry you into next season, and the one after that.

Plus, it's quite literally your time to shine. Festive dressing means sequins in rich hues, sumptuous velvets and dramatic silhouettes, because there's no such thing as 'overdressed.' So, whether you’re curating cozy, yet elevated, looks for  nights in or hoping to turn heads under the twinkle of Christmas lights, we have the outfit inspo for you...and, of course, the case to complete the look. 

 

For the Work Party

When you step out for your year-end bonanza, overhauling your day-to-day look is the funnest part. Give your colleagues something to talk about in a high shine midi that skims your curves. You might even want to repurpose it for New Year's Eve.

Style the Abercrombie & Fitch  Corset Sequin Midi Dress ($98) with this case:

 

For Family Dinner

Be the family member that shows up and shows out in a mini that makes a statement. The long sleeves and high neckline keeps this little number on the more conservative side for grandma, whereas the sparkle embellishments ensures you're on trend for the occasion. 

Style the Avec Les Filles Women's Long-Sleeve Stretch Velvet Mini Dress ($103) with this case:

 

For Cozy Nights In

It's not every time of year you can roll up to a social event in full loungewear, so it's important to celebrate the holidays — occasionally — comfy-casual dress code. This set could not be cuter with the season-coded cartoons, pairing perfectly with our ultra-festive 'Precious Moments' case. 

Style Ralph Lauren Intimates ($178) Henley Pajama Set with this case:

 

For a Cocktail Hour

Whether you're hosting, going out or guesting, a chic little cocktail dress is essential for the silly season — and we mean that literally. You don't have to be a martini girl to make the drink your muse, just remember the dirtier, the better, and you'll be the toast of the town. 

Style the Tyler McGillivary Estelle Mini Dress ($215) with this case:

For Date Night

Make them melt with a red hot slip that is timeless enough for year-round wear. This fit-and-flare silhouette couldn't be cuter with a pair of textured or colored tights, and then you can bat your doe-eyes at them over a cutie-patootie phone case. 

Style the Reformation Belva Silk-Satin Mini Dress ($278) with this case:

 

For New Years Eve

Ringing in the year right means glitz and glamor darling. Let the silver screen goddess within shine through with a sparkly set and the case to match. It's been a while since we've seen gems, jewels and sequins have this much of a moment, so let's relish it into 2026 and beyond. 

Style the GUIZIO Pailette Cami and Mini Skirt ($168 / $168) with this case:
