No matter the season, I find neutrals to always be classy and elegant. And while I love a little color for the holidays, there’s something about champagne, ivory, and rich chocolate brown that feels especially beautiful this time of year.
I’m kicking off a series of holiday outfit posts organized by color, starting with four neutral holiday party outfits for petites. These looks are a mix of dressy pants, subtle sparkle, satin, and sequins. Whether you’re dressing for an office holiday party, a festive dinner, or a more formal celebration, these petite-friendly outfits have you covered.

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.
Champagne Sequin Skirt + Satin Blazer
For the first outfit, I paired a budget-friendly champagne sequin skirt from Kohl’s with a satin blazer from LOFT. I love the combination of textures in this outfit. The sequins give it a festive feel, while the satin blazer keeps the overall look polished and elegant.
The skirt is fully lined with a mesh trim and has a side zipper closure without any stretch. It runs a little large on me through both the waist and hips, so I recommend sizing down for the best fit.
The satin blazer is from LOFT, and I’m wearing it in Petite 00. It’s true to size with an oversized, modern fit. To style it for this outfit, I pinned it at the chest and pushed the sleeves back for a more relaxed look.

Coated Trouser Jeans + Crystal Embellished Sweater
If you prefer wearing pants to holiday parties, this next outfit is a comfortable option that still feels festive. I paired coated trouser jeans from Ann Taylor with a subtly embellished sweater from LOFT.
The coated finish on the jeans gives them a dressier look than traditional denim, making them a great option for holiday parties. In petite sizing, they have a high 11″ rise and a 28.5″ inseam. That length works well for me with a pair of heels.
The jeans are true to size overall, although I do have a little extra room at the waist.
The sweater is from LOFT, and I’m wearing it in Petite XXS. It’s a neutral knit with subtle crystal embellishments that add just the right amount of sparkle for the holiday season. I love pieces like this because they’re festive without being overly dressy. You can easily wear this sweater again with regular jeans or trousers throughout the winter.

Charmeuse Pants + Crystal Embellished Sweater
For another holiday party outfit with pants, I styled a pair of charmeuse pants from J.Crew with a relaxed crystal embellished sweater from Ann Taylor.
The charmeuse pants have a beautiful sheen that makes them feel a little more elevated than everyday trousers. They’re a pull-on style without a drawstring, giving them a clean, polished look at the waist.
In petite sizing, they have a 27″ inseam, which is a great length for me. One thing to note about the fit is that they run small across the hips. I recommend sizing up, especially if you’re curvy through the hips and thighs.
I paired the pants with a relaxed sweater from Ann Taylor that has crystal embellishments. I’m wearing the sweater in Petite XXS, and it fits me well.
This one a great option for being comfortable but still pulled together.

Chocolate Brown Sequin Dress + Metallic Heels
For the last outfit, I went with a little more sparkle in a chocolate brown sequin dress from Banana Republic Factory. I love chocolate brown as an alternative to black for the holidays. It’s rich, elegant, and pairs beautifully with metallic accessories.
I’m wearing the dress in Petite XXS, and the fit is perfect on me. It’s fully lined, has a full-coverage back, and the length falls a couple of inches above my knee. I especially love finding dresses that are this well proportioned in petite sizing without needing alterations.
I styled the dress with metallic heels for a festive look, but you could also keep everything tonal with chocolate brown accessories.
For a little extra warmth, I would pair this dress with sheer brown tights and brown heels. You could also add a tailored coat for another layer without taking away from the dress.
