The Preview Holiday Edit 2025: Investment-Worthy Pieces You’ll Wear Long After the Festive Season
This curated selection celebrates silhouettes and textures you’ll reach for all year, no matter how you choose to dress for the season.
Published on Dec 12, 2025
Holiday dressing has typically revolved around party-ready staples: velvet slip dresses, sequined separates, metallic tailoring, embellished knits, and floor-grazing gowns that surface only for the year’s most festive weeks. Rich jewel tones, glossy satin, and ornate detailing have long defined the seasonal wardrobe language.
This year, The Preview Holiday Edit takes a different approach. Dressing for the holidays isn’t just about the glitz—it’s about celebrating every kind of personal style.
There’s something for everyone: elevated casual dressers can find pieces that polish everyday looks, sporty types can score performance-inspired designs with a city-ready edge, fashion-forward shoppers can experiment with bold shapes and textures, and the dapper gents can play around with relaxed suiting.
More than anything, this edit is about stepping up the aesthetic that speaks to you the most, whatever it is. A sharper cut, a luxe fabric, or a thoughtful accessory can turn a simple outfit into a season-ready look without ever feeling forced.
In this style guide, we explore how to perfect every style and dissect the details that bring it to life.
The Easy Mini
The styling on this is as straightforward as it gets. The dress' gathered seams through the torso is the true star of the show. So, keep the styling minimal, let your locks fall down loose, and let the draped detailing do all the talking.
How to Wear It:
Let the ruching stand out. Pair with understated footwear and subtle jewelry to keep the focus on the form-fitting cut.
Sharp Denim
Gents, go ahead and double down on the denim.
A dark-wash denim jacket and matching straight-cut jeans create a seamless column of color. The fitted black tank adds a crisp break in texture, while black shoes keep the palette consistent and grounded.
How to Wear It:
Choose denim in a similar wash for a unified look. Layer with a simple tank or knit shirt underneath to define the shape without disrupting the continuity.
The Easy Utility Combo
Sit back, relax, and roll up the sleeves with this easily chic look. Reach for a longline button-down, such as this olive one from Loewe, and match it with your baggy trousers of choice. Complete the effortless city girl vibe with a structured black leather bag, and ease things up with a pair of tropical, woven sandals.
How to Wear It:
When choosing a shirt, opt for fabrics that are breathable enough yet still hold its shape. Team it with loose bottoms, and finish with accessories that have defined lines, such as a boxy Doctor bag or textured slides.
The Sporty Set
Wide grey track trousers meet a cropped technical jacket. The jacket’s high collar and elastic cuffs frame the upper body, while chunky black sneakers perfectly match the pants’ generous volume.
How to Wear It:
Let one oversized piece lead the look. Match technical fabrics with chunky footwear to keep proportions consistent.
Oversized Up Top
In case you’re headed somewhere frigid soon, go ahead and have your fun beneath heaps and heaps of layers.
Nail that quintessential edgy and nonchalant Balenciaga vibe with an oversized taupe jacket—broad at the shoulders and full through the sleeves. Style it over a brown pleated midi skirt, and match with black strappy heels to refine the proportions.
How to Wear It:
Balance a roomy jacket with a skirt that has clear structure. Add open-toed heeled footwear to lengthen the silhouette.
Relaxed Suiting
A light-grey suit with soft shoulders and wide-cut trousers creates a relaxed take on tailoring. Swap out the usual dress shirt with a ribbed white tank, and sharpen the look with sleek, narrow sunglasses.
How to Wear It:
Break up tailored sets with jerseys or ribbed tops. Keep tones neutral so the silhouette stays clean and easy.
The Classic LBD
The little black dress is a fixture in every holiday rotation for a reason—it slips effortlessly between dinners, cocktail hours, and late-night gatherings. Its clean lines and unfussy silhouette make it a dependable piece when the season’s calendar fills up.
How to Wear It:
When wearing solid blocks of color, accent the look with different pops of color, such as these ivory-hued loafers and crimson red Voyou bag from Givenchy.
