Last week, I had the pleasure of teaming up with my fabulous petite style expert friend, Sydne, to host a live show for Talbots! If you missed it, don’t worry—you can catch the full show here. Today, I’m excited to dive into Talbots holiday favorites for every occasion and body type. Whether you’re tall and plus-size like me, or petite like Sydne or somewhere in between, these styles are easy to wear and incredibly versatile. What I love most? While these looks are perfect for the holiday season, their classic appeal means you’ll enjoy them year after year!
When the holidays roll around, I know I can count on Talbots for festive, stylish pieces that make me feel fabulous—and size inclusivity is just the cherry on top! From rich textures to elegant accessories, Talbots holiday collection delivers versatile and chic options to help everyone sparkle this season. Here are my top four picks for the holiday season—Monochromatic, Velvet, Sparkle, and Jewel Tones —featuring standout pieces that are perfect for Thanksgiving, holiday parties, or New Year’s celebrations.
1. Monochromatic Magic: Effortlessly Chic Holiday Looks
The monochromatic trend is an easy way to look polished and put-together, and Talbots has nailed it with their perfectly coordinated sets. For a cozy yet elevated look, consider the Shoulder Placket Wool Blend Sweater paired with the Wool Blend Midi Sweater Skirt in Shadow Heather. This tonal pairing in soft neutrals feels effortlessly chic and is perfect for a Thanksgiving dinner with friends and family.
For a lighter look, the Cable Knit Sweater in Ivory and matching Cable Knit Midi Sweater Skirt make for an all-white ensemble that’s as fresh as winter snow. Add the Gray Suede Hobo Bag and Gray Suede Kitten Heels to complete this understatedly luxurious look.
Looking for a pop of color? Talbots has you covered with their Confetti Plaid Long Coat in Pink Multi, which pairs beautifully with the coordinating Pink A-Line Skirt. This pink monochrome outfit is a fun and unique way to embrace the holiday spirit with a playful twist on a classic trend.
2. Velvet Vibes: Soft and Luxe for Holiday Nights
Nothing says holiday glam like the soft richness of velvet. Talbots’ Velveteen Straight Pants make a fantastic option for any holiday event, pairing well with a simple sweater or a blouse for a polished yet comfortable look. For a more formal occasion, the Little Black Velvet Draped Midi Dress with ruched details is a showstopper. This LBD brings a touch of elegance and sophistication that’s perfect for holiday dinners or end-of-year parties.
3. Sparkle & Shine: Dazzle with Sequins and Statement Pieces
For those who love a little sparkle, Talbots has designed the ultimate holiday piece: the Pencil Sequin Skirt. This skirt is the star of the season, providing just the right amount of shimmer for any celebration. Dress it up with the Pink Cashmere Sweater for a feminine touch or go sleek with the Gray Wool V-Neck Sweater. And if you’re aiming to really make a statement, layer the look with Talbots’ Faux Fur Coat for a glamorous and cozy ensemble.
Talbots also shines in the accessories department this season, offering everything from classic suede shoes to chic handbags and more. Some of my favorite accessories include a cozy Gray and White Scarf, which adds an elegant finishing touch to any look.
4. Jewel Tones: Rich Hues for Festive Flair
Jewel tones are a holiday staple, bringing bold, vibrant colors to winter wardrobes. Talbots’ jewel-tone pieces add just the right pop of color to holiday outfits, embodying elegance and richness.
For those who want a standout look, try the Emerald Green Velvet Blazer paired with sleek black trousers or the velveteen straight pants for a luxe, sophisticated feel. This blazer works beautifully for a holiday dinner or a work party, making you feel both festive and refined. Another option is the Deep Purple Turtleneck Sweater, which pairs beautifully with a neutral skirt or dark jeans for a festive, cozy look that’s holiday-ready without being too formal.
To complete the jewel-tone look, consider Talbots’ range of accessories. Their rose satin miniaudiere clutch adds a touch of rich color, while the Sparkling Petal Necklace provides an elegant accent to any outfit. Whether you’re drawn to emerald greens, ruby reds, or deep sapphire blues, Talbots’ jewel tones are a beautiful way to celebrate the season in style.
