This year flew by in a blur. It was March, like, last week, and all of a sudden it's time to pull out my holiday décor, shop for gifts, and figure out what I'm wearing to all the holiday parties on my calendar. I'm still wrapping my head around how 2025 is almost over, but I can't lie—I'm so ready for the sparkly outfits, twinkly lights, and endless excuses to dress up.
My friends have been texting me for outfit advice, and I can't blame them—holiday dressing can be tricky. You want something that feels festive but not over the top, comfortable but not too casual. That's exactly why I was so excited when I came across Old Navy's new holiday collection. It has everything I've been searching for: eye-catching dresses that feel subtle but still make an entrance, sparkly sequinned pieces that still feel wearable, and elevated denim you can dress up or down. And might I add, all of these pieces are $50 or less. Enough rambling—here are the Old Navy finds that I'm eyeing for every holiday event on my calendar.
Holiday Dresses
My favorite holiday looks tend to include rich fabrics like velvet and satin, and I can never resist a good pop of red. The dresses from Old Navy's collection look way more elevated than their price tags (I would've guessed they're at least triple the price), and they're ideal for everything from a fancy dinner to a festive night out.
All Things Sequins
When I think of dressing up for the holidays, sequins are always the first thing that come to mind. Whether it's a sleek midi skirt, a fun pair of shorts, or a sparkly sweater, these pieces bring all the festive energy.
Tops
Not every holiday plan calls for a full-on sequin moment—sometimes you just need a really good top. These picks strike that sweet spot between casual and dressed-up, making them perfect for those more laid-back plans on the calendar, like dinner with friends or a gift exchange that turns into cocktails.
Elevated Pants
A good top can only take you so far—you need pants that pull their weight. These picks do exactly that, making any outfit look intentional and thought-out. Between buttery faux leather, glossy satin, and perfectly worn-in denim, the outfit potentials feel endless.
