3 Ways to Rock Red Pants at Holiday Time!
The closer we get to Christmas, the more I want to wear something bright red! How about you?
Although most gals feel comfortable wearing a festive red top, wearing bright red pants requires a little more confidence. Don’t you agree?
Not to worry! Today, I’m sharing three holiday red pants outfits that are cozy, classy, and glam. They’re easy to put together and won’t leave you feeling like a giant red stop sign.
3 Ways to Rock Red Pants at Holiday Time!
Let’s start with the Pants!
From red velvet skinny jeans to red sequin palazzo pants and everything in between, there’s a style of red pants for every personality and body type.
My idea of the perfect red pant is chic, tailored with minimal detail, so my red pants don’t overpower whatever I wear up top.
I love a sleek, straight-leg cut pant that ends just above my ankle. The ones I’m sharing today have built-in stretch, so they move with you, but hold their shape, so you always look polished and classy.

1. Cozy Look: Red Pants & Ivory Sweater
This time of year, ivory and red are a classic combination; ask Santa! I’ve paired my favorite red pants with a soft, pretty tunic sweater in warm ivory. This sweater is great for gals who want to cover their midlife middle because it’s a little longer than most. It works best with slim-leg or skinny pants.
Click the link to this sweater, which has the tiniest sparkle running through it. It’s a subtle, classy way to look festive.
A bit of print and texture makes an outfit fabulous, so I’ve added these cute Chanel-inspired slingbacks in a nubby houndstooth fabric. These shoes are flat, comfortable, and chic, and I love how they tie the whole look together.

2. Classy Look: Red Pants & Black Sheer Sleeve Top
Black and red is another timeless holiday party combo. If this black top looks familiar, that’s because I wore it last year with black pants, and it was a huge hit.
I love this mixed media style. It’s a knit v-neck + alluring sheer sleeves. Add these slim red pants and crystal bow party heels and get ready to have a ball!

3. Glam Look: Red Pants & Sparkly Gold Top
Finally, if you want to turn up the glam, gold + red is one of my favorite combos! And sequins help a lot, too! I’ve had this gold sequin top for years, and it never fails to transform jeans, black pants, or, in this case, red pants into something “wow.” This upscale casual holiday look is clean, chic, and has star power! Get ready to light up the room!
