What To Wear To A Gathering

2025 Jul 25th

What to Wear to my Family/Friends Gathering?  

During this holiday season, there is usually a special gathering to help celebrate. This might be a family event or a gathering of friends.  

Perhaps you’re wondering - what should I wear to my celebration or outing? Here’s a few ideas that I hope will help you out.  

Event: Drinks with the Girls 

It’s been a hot minute since you got to go out with the girls! You’re pumped up and want your outfit to match your enthusiasm. First off - make sure you’re comfortable in whatever you choose to wear. It’s most important that you have a good time, and you don’t want to be stuck fussing with your outfit. If you’re heading to your favourite neighborhood pub, grab a pair of mid or dark wash jeans, add a sequin top and top it off with a blazer or faux leather / vegan leather jacket. What I love about this outfit is that you can pair any shoe or boot with it and look cool. Maybe you’re going out dancing - fun! Splurge. Get that wow dress or jumpsuit. Do you know how comfy cleo dresses are!? Girl - you’ll look fabulous! Plus platform heels are back in which are so easy to wear.  

Event: Family Gathering 

You’ve got a family gathering coming up. Maybe you love family time.. Maybe not. You still deserve to look good. We got you. Pick something fun to play into your mood or to boost it. I love a colourful casual outfit myself. Try a patterned sweater with a turtleneck layer if you’re typically chilly. Or try a plaid shirt worn open with a layer underneath like a henley shirt or mock neck top. If you’re a jean person - go for it. Cleo womens jeans are so comfy - you won’t feel bad eating a few extra sweets. If jeans aren’t your thing, try leggings. Or step it up with a faux leather / vegan leather bottom. You’ll get compliments, I promise! Is your family event more about the sparkle? Look for a sequin top - all over or maybe just a sprinkle will look great as well. 

Event: Having Friends Over 

If you’ve invited friends over for an evening. You’ll want to dressed based on the activity. Games night? Go with my favourite easy outfit - jeans + cozy sweater. You can serve and play with no fuss. Winter campfire? Layer up your intarsia sweater with a turtleneck and down coat. You’ll look great while roasting marshmallows and if come in for some hot cocoa. Girlfriends movie night? Make it a fun PJ event with your fav jammies and cozy toppers. Don’t forget the popcorn & slippers! Does this all sounds a little too casual for you? Go with something glamorous and comfy - try the sequin joggers with a beautiful blouse. Grab a pair of pop coloured flats with rhinestone details to finish off your look. You’ll feel great whatever the event! 

 

Whatever the occasion, pick an outfit that you feel good in, something that showcases beautiful you. Have the best time this holiday season!
