Holiday Outfits by Color Series: Navy

Navy is classic, elegant, and versatile. For the holidays, navy pairs beautifully with a little sparkle or luxurious fabrics like silk and cashmere – and is a welcome change from traditional red and green.

I’m continuing my holiday outfits for petites by color series with three navy holiday party outfits. So far, I’ve shared neutral holiday party outfits and black holiday party outfits. In this post, I’m sharing a mix of a silk skirt, a sequin dress, and a classic jumpsuit.

These outfits are perfect for everything from an office holiday party to a festive dinner or cocktail party. As always, I’ll share my petite fit notes and sizing recommendations for each piece.

My Sizing: I’m 4’10”, and my bust, waist, and hip measurements are 32″, 24″, and 36″. My inseam is 25″ (the measurement from the inside of my leg to my ankle bone). The clothes shown are unaltered and show how they fit me right from the store. I list my sizing beside each item to help you compare when shopping online. When referencing my true size, that is often the smallest option available at a brand or petite xxs/00/24. I wear a size 5 shoe.

Navy Silk Midi Skirt + Cropped Cashmere Sweater

For the first outfit, I paired a navy silk midi skirt from Quince with a cropped cashmere sweater, also from Quince.

The silk skirt is one of my favorite silk skirts I’ve tried. It’s a pull-on style with a comfortable stretch waistband and runs true to size. I’m wearing it in XS. I love how easy this skirt is to dress up for a holiday party, but it’s also a piece you can wear throughout the year with different tops and shoes.

I paired it with a cropped cashmere sweater from Quince. The sweater has a cropped fit that works well with skirts and high-waisted pants. You can wear it untucked, but I chose to tuck it in for this outfit to create a smooth, streamlined look.

My trick for tucking a sweater into a silk skirt is to wear a pair of shapewear shorts underneath and tuck the sweater into the waistband of the shorts instead of the skirt. This keeps the sweater securely tucked without adding extra bulk around the waist or hips. It’s especially helpful with silk skirts since the fabric tends to show every little bump underneath.

If you’re looking for the best undergarments to wear with a silk skirt, be sure to check out my review of five different slips and shapewear shorts. I tested each option for comfort, compression, petite fit, and how invisible they are underneath a silky skirt.

Navy Sequin Dress from Kohl’s

For the second outfit, I went with a navy sequin dress from Kohl’s.

This dress is from Nine West’s petite collection at Kohl’s. The dress has a relaxed fit with a stretch waist. I’m wearing it here in Petite XS, but could have gone down a size.

Navy Jumpsuit from Banana Republic Factory

For the last outfit, I chose a navy sleeveless jumpsuit from Banana Republic Factory. Jumpsuits are hard to find for petites, so I’m always excited when I come across an option.

I’m wearing this jumpsuit in Petite XXS, and it fits me well overall. I find it to be true to size, but the top portion is a little long through the torso on my 4’10” frame.

Luckily, the jumpsuit comes with a fabric belt, which helps with the proportions. I use the belt to pull the top up slightly and create a little blousing at the waist. This helps shorten the appearance of the torso and gives the jumpsuit a better overall fit on my frame.
