Dressy Holiday Tops to Wear With Jeans for Party Ready Style

Dressing for the holidays is always a mixed bag. Some years you need a cocktail dress and sky-high heels. Other years, a festive top and a pair of jeans will do.

With most of us staying close to home this year, the holidays will be more chill, but that doesn’t mean you can’t look chic! Here are five dressy holiday tops that add a touch of glitz and glamour to your favorite jeans.

1. Metallic Christmas Blouse

For many women, including me, it doesn’t feel like Christmas unless I wear a little sparkle. This pretty black metallic top with the flutter sleeves with it’s touch of gold is perfect when you want to look festive but not over the top.  I

This looks fantastic, worn with black pants at cocktail time or if you prefer a low-key holiday look, pair it with jeans and black kitten heel boots. Add a classy ruched leather bag with modern gold hardware. Top it off with gold and crystal drop hoops and be the gal who lights up the room!

2. Sparkly Silver Top with Faux Leather Jeans

Christmas is all about glamour, even if you are dressing casually. So go ahead, and wrap yourself up like a beautiful Christmas gift in this gorgeous, sparkly silver top.  Romantic sleeves, and an alluring V- neckline make this top a head-turner at any holiday gathering. Pair it with faux-leather leggings for an urban edge.

3. Shiny Sequin Top

November and December are your time to shine. Sequins are part of the fun and look fabulous paired with jeans. I’m showing you all these looks with black jeans since I like a dressier look, but you could also wear this peasant sequin top with blue jeans. I love this deep, rich wine color and this flowy peasant blouse style that is easy to wear.  Prefer another color? This top comes in silver sequins and black sequins too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4.  Sheer Sleeve Black Party Top

Like most women, black is your go-to color for evenings, and good reason. It’s slimming, elegant, and chic. (Be sure to wear makeup, so you don’t look washed out!) This lovely, balloon-sleeve black top is perfect for the gal who likes a simple, elegant look or for anyone who prefers to cover their arms. The sheer balloon sleeves are light, airy, romantic, and give great coverage. Bootcut Flare jeans flatter your figure and balance you out if you are a bit bottom-heavy.

  1. I live in South Florida, where we live a casual lifestyle, and it is relatively warm during the winter holidays. How about some ideas for holiday clothing for those of us living here who are 60+ years old? I’m looking for something other than resort wear that would also be wearable after the holidays. Thanks for any ideas you may have.
