Campy and kitschy looks for an unforgettable holiday season

The holidays are the perfect time of the year to get campy. Those ugly sweater parties and white elephant gift exchanges are tailor-made opportunities to lean into kitsch and blur the lines between good and bad taste. Celebrities have been doing it for years now— remember when Beyoncé dressed up as a Christmas tree? Or when Lady Gaga also dressed like a Christmas tree? You get the point. Get festive this year with 10 pieces that embrace the inherent camp of the holiday season, with all its bright and over-the-top colors, tinsel, and textures.

For a playful purse: Kitsch Candy Tree Crossbody

Feeling camp-curious and not quite ready to commit to a fully-sequined dress? The easiest way to introduce camp into your look is through a bold accessory. And that’s certainly the case with this Kitsch Candy Tree Crossbody from Betsey Johnson. Made of a glitter textile and shaped like, well, a Christmas tree covered in candy, this bag is the statement piece of the season.

For a surprising sock: Happy Socks Set of 3 Holiday Gift Socks

Happy Socks, as their name implies, are socks emblazoned with fun, funky colors and patterns, like this Holiday Pack from QVC, featuring some seriously festive designs. They’re also really great socks—they’re high-quality, durable, and have a breathable cotton weave that prevents feet from getting moist throughout the day. Flash these socks under a pair of dress shoes and you're sure to turn heads at your next holiday party.

For so many sequins: Boohoo Sequin Disc Oversized Blazer Party Dress

A touch of sequins is a great detail for many looks, and one might not immediately think of them as tacky. On the other hand, this Sequin Disc Oversized Blazer Party Dress from Boohoo takes sequins to the max, giving us a holiday statement piece that’s sure to shimmer. The blazer dress uses reflective red paillettes (which are typically larger and move more freely on the garment than sequins) to make a shockingly bold statement. What we love most about this blazer dress is how attention-grabbing it is—you’ll be the talk of the holiday party.

For a super cool suit: Snowman Is An Island Blazer and Tie

The Snowman Is An Island Blazer and Tie is sure to keep you cool as ice this season. Its aqua color feels like a vintage prom suit, and the snowman pattern is fun and playful for any holiday party or occasion. Shop this jacket in men’s sizes 36 to 52 with a matching tie included. The pants are sold separately but come in men’s pant sizes 31 to 38.

For an exciting earring: Holiday Spirits Earrings

These Holiday Spirit Earrings from BaubleBar are a great accessory for your holiday outfits. Featuring a bejeweled martini glass filled with ice and some olives, they’re big enough to be noticeable but not too heavy on the earlobe. If you’re keeping your holiday outfit simple this year, add these glimmering earrings for a little pop of sparkle and a big dose of fun. The red bow is a nice touch, too.

For a bold shoe upgrade: Chauffeur Feather Mule

At first glance, these Chauffeur Feather Mules from Jeffrey Campbell could be mistaken for the Grinch’s feet. But alas—in reality they’re a sensible pair of heels with a very unsensible (but utterly fabulous) spray of feathers on top. The feathery front spills onto the floor, looking almost like a cozy slipper rather than a heel. This brilliant shoe is available in two additional colors. The purple could still be a festive addition to any outfit, while the brown is a more muted approach. Shop these in women’s half and whole sizes 6 to 10.

For a sensational suit: Christmas Tree Print Women’s Suit

Save the festive plaid for the next holiday gathering. This year, go bold with a campy print. Shinesty’s Christmas Tree Print Women’s Suit kicks it up a notch, embracing a look that’s tacky in the best way. Pair the blazer with the matching skirt or go full power suit with the matching pants. Shop in women’s blazer, pant, and skirt sizes 0 to 16.

$70 from Shinesty

For a holiday headband: Green Reindeer Headband

Featuring a green band, two sequined deer antlers, and bright red bows, the accessory is a festive addition to any look. This headband is easy to grab on your way out the door when you don’t have the time to plan a more holiday-appropriate outfit. Pair it with anything you’ve already got on to infuse your outfit with a bit of Christmas spirit.
