When it comes to a festive wardrobe, there is nothing as quintessentially holiday-appropriate as a comfy, cozy, and gorgeous red sweater.
Paired with basically anything, a red sweater can transform an outfit from a winter look to one that feels cheery and in the spirit of the holidays. Office party? Red sweater. Drinking hot cocoa and watching a Christmas movie? Red sweater. Opening presents on Christmas morning? Red sweater.
There’s nothing like finding new ways to wear something you already have, and today, we’re giving you five new ideas for how to wear your go-to red sweater this holiday season—with everything from a skirt to comfy, knit pants. The holidays are here, and it’s time to bring the spirit to our wardrobes.
1. With a pair of trousers
By this point you probably have a pair of trousers in your wardrobe, and it’s a no-brainer that they’ll pair perfectly with your festive holiday sweater. Regardless of the color—khaki, grey, black—they’ll give you a put-together look in a jiff.
