3 Holiday Looks To Shop At Marshalls, For Low-Key To Luxe Get-Togethers

Whether you’re hosting a chill night with friends or heading to a holiday work bash, curating the ideal party outfit takes some planning. And when you can explore a wide range of styles for every occasion — all in one place and at an irresistible cost — it makes it so much easier.

Marshalls is the premiere shopping destination for every social event on your calendar, and for good reason. From sparkly sequins to cozy knits, Marshalls buyers bring the season’s latest trends straight to stores, so you don’t have to wait to snag that dazzling jeweled skirt, chic puffer jacket, or metallic clutch everyone’s after this season — all at unbeatable prices.

As Editor-in-Chief of NYLON, Lauren McCarthy is an expert at party dressing. She always knows how to showcase trends while letting her own style shine, and Marshalls is her go-to for finding the hottest designer pieces at an incredible value. Ahead, McCarthy shares three holiday-ready looks from Marshalls, perfect for a night out, a chic après-ski moment, or a relaxed brunch with friends.

Sparkle & Shine

Nailing glitzy holiday glam this season is all about walking into every room feeling like you’re about to steal the show (or at least score the best white elephant gift). You’ll want to choose pieces that speak to your confidence, and Marshalls stores are filled with show-stopping gems that will help you channel your best and most stylish self.

While there are certain style mainstays of the season, your outfit doesn’t have to feel like a cliché — just put a spin on it, as McCarthy did with this sheer beaded maxi skirt. “It can be easy to fall into head-to-toe sparkle for holiday parties, so a menswear-inspired look ups the cool factor without losing the festive feel,” says McCarthy. Pro styling tip: “Take a leather cord or belt and use it to cinch your waist for a more structured look,” she adds.

Slopes-Inspired Streetwear

Après-ski-inspired style is too good not to incorporate into your wardrobe during the winter months — even if you don’t plan on hitting the slopes. Marshalls has high-quality winter essentials, like cable-knit sweaters, chic beanies, and plush outerwear, all at accessible prices. “A statement coat is the number one thing you need for winter fashion,” says McCarthy, adding that “a bold hue, like deep burgundy, will make even the most basic puffer feel special, especially when paired with contrasting colored accessories like this cozy, powder-blue beanie.”

Don’t be afraid to switch things up by choosing pieces with interesting details, including traditional knits. “A varsity sweater makes you feel particularly sporty, even if you’re just here for the après, not the ski,” says McCarthy.

Luxe Loungewear

Whether it’s last-minute shopping or a weekend brunch, a chill outing with friends calls for a look that's just as relaxed as your vibe. “Luxe loungewear is the way to go,” says McCarthy. “I love small details that can make a look special.” Marshalls has an array of stylish and affordable accessories that instantly dress up understated pieces. Dress head-to-toe in luxurious cashmere with a plush cardigan and cozy joggers, then throw on a fun pair of leopard print heeled mules. To complete the look, add a joyful pop of color in the form of a bright red oversized scarf.

From low-key get-togethers to festive nights out, head to Marshalls to find the best value for the most coveted designer pieces today.
