There's no place like home for the holidays. And there's nothing like a fire holiday wardrobe to accompany you on your travels home. I like to be organized and have a few critical items in my wardrobe for Christmas, as there are usually quite a few events once I return home for the holidays.

Whether it’s brunch with friends or a family outing, it’s just less hassle and stress to have some outfits planned. So I’ve browsed and found some excellent options from knitwear to dresses and lots more for you to take some inspiration from.

1. KNITWEAR

I pretty much live in big comfy sweaters during Christmas. I love being cozy during the winter, which is why it's always important to have these in abundance. Cardigans are also something I have fallen in love with this season. You can easily rock either with some leggings or jeans. Here are some knitwear sweaters currently out in stores:
