December is one of the busiest times of the year with various work functions, Christmas and New Year’s parties to attend. Not to mention all that shopping and beach-going to fit in.

Your wardrobe is going to need to work double duty to keep you on top of all the looks you’ll have to pull together. Need some inspiration? Ta-da! J.Crew to the rescue!

Check out our top 5 holiday season looks from J.Crew, and happy partying!

Shopping
There are hours of pounding the pavement and browsing the mall to get through before the holiday season is done, so make sure you are dressed comfortably in flats, jeans and a light sweater to tie around your waist should it get chilly during late night shopping. A tote that’s big in both size and style completes this look.

Work Christmas Party
The work Christmas party calls for something festive but not too OTT. This neon skirt and simple long-sleeved tee are given a lift with a statement necklace and colourful shoe, but can later be incorporated back into your work and weekend wardrobe once the party is over.

Christmas Day
Keep it pretty in this festive red lace dress. Match with teal pumps and a little sparkle and you’ve got yourself a cool Yule outfit.

New Year’s Eve
Welcome the new year in this party-perfect outfit. The dazzling sequined skirt and statement necklace combined with the relaxed tee gives you a casual-glam look that lets everyone know you’re not trying too hard. Ankle-tie pumps give you a little height on the dancefloor while the tote provides plenty of room for your water, phone and beauty supplies (and maybe some foldable flats). It’s gonna be a long night!

Beachside Cafe
Once the festivities are over, it’s time to take it easy with walks on the beach and relaxing chats in cafes with friends as we enjoy the rest of our summer holidays. Keep it soft and fresh with this pretty peasant top, shorts and flats in a Greek Islands-inspired blue and white palette.
