The holidays are officially here — which means invitations, celebrations, and festive nights out. But before you stress-shop online or rush to buy a brand-new outfit you’ll only wear once, take a deep breath. You don’t need a giant budget or fast-fashion splurge to look amazing this season.
At Billie & Lulu’s, we love helping women discover second-hand gems that sparkle just as brightly as anything brand-new — and often with better quality, unique style, and WAY better prices.
Whether you’re heading to an office party, a cozy family gathering, or ringing in the New Year with friends, here are our favorite plus-size holiday outfit ideas that look incredible AND feel comfortable.
⭐ 1. Velvet Blazer + Satin Tank + Dark Denim
Velvet is the unofficial fabric of the holiday season — soft, luxurious, and instantly dressy.
Pair a jewel-tone velvet blazer with a silky tank and dark-wash denim for a festive look that’s chic but not over the top.
Perfect for office events or casual gatherings.
Why it works:
-
Adds holiday texture without sequins
-
Flattering structured silhouette
-
Easy to dress up or down with accessories
⭐ 2. Sequin Top + Black Pants (or Faux Leather Leggings)
If there’s ever a time to shine, it’s December.
A second-hand sequin top gives you instant glam while keeping the budget friendly. Balance it with black pants or faux-leather leggings for a sleek, modern feel.
Style tip: keep accessories simple — the top is the star.
⭐ 3. Wrap Dress + Statement Earrings
Wrap dresses flatter EVERY curve — waist, bust, hips — and they’re easy to accessorize. Go with deep emerald, burgundy, or classic black depending on your vibe.
Why we love this look:
-
Works for all body shapes
-
Comfortable for long events
-
Looks elevated with minimal effort
⭐ 4. Sweater Dress + Tights + Boots
For comfort-lovers: this outfit is cozy chic at its finest. A soft knit sweater dress paired with opaque tights and ankle boots feels stylish but effortless.
Perfect for:
-
Family gatherings
-
School events
-
Winter date nights
⭐ 5. Skirt + Bodysuit + Longline Cardigan
A longline cardigan adds beautiful vertical lines that elongate and flatter curvy figures. Pair with a simple black bodysuit and a printed or metallic skirt.
Great for:
-
Semi-casual dinners
-
Holiday girls’ night
-
Warm climates where heavy layering isn’t needed (hello, Phoenix!)
