This one’s for the bros. The holidays are here, and if you’re searching for a seasonal outfit that’s stylish and affordable, we’ve got you covered. Forget the full-on suit and tie! This year, it’s all about dressing casual with personality. Here’s how to build the perfect look without breaking the bank.
Step 1: Start with a Statement Blazer
A great blazer sets the tone for your outfit. Look for something versatile with neutral tones like charcoal, navy, or earthy browns. In our example, we scored a sleek blazer for $7.99, but because it was the color of the week, it was 50% off. Just $4.00! A good blazer pairs effortlessly with black, white, or gray, making it a wardrobe staple beyond the holidays.
Step 2: Swap Slacks for Bold Jeans
Skip the traditional slacks and go for some colored jeans. Think deep green, burnt orange, or even burgundy for a festive twist. These shades add personality without going over the top. Avoid basic blue denim for this look, it’s too casual. We found a perfect pair for $7.99.
Step 3: Layer with a Neutral Sweater
A neutral-toned sweater, like brown or tan, adds warmth and texture. It’s the ideal middle layer under your blazer. Bonus: sweaters are easy to find at any Goodwill during seasonal sales. Ours was just $7.99.
Step 4: Shoes & Accessories Matter
Shoes can make or break your outfit, so opt for something classic yet stylish, like leather loafers or dress boots. In our example, we found a pair that perfectly complemented the earthy tones of the outfit for just $12.99.
Accessories are where you can have fun. A mustard scarf adds a festive pop without overpowering the look. Layer it inside your blazer for a cozy, polished vibe. The price? Just $3.99.
