What do you wear for holidays?

Bored at work!  My husband and I have different ideas of what is ok to wear to holiday dinners.  What do you wear? 

I think dressy jeans with boots/nice shoes and a nice top/sweater is appropriate.  He always says jeans are not appropriate.  If we go to my family, I wear nice jeans.  If we go to his, I wear dress pants.  Both, get the same tops, shoes and jewelry.

Re: What do you wear for holidays?

  • I grew up not dressing up for holidays.  But DH's family definitely do.  I normally do a sweater and black pants for Thanksgiving.  Might do a sweater dress for christmas eve if I'm feeling fancy.  We normally just wear regular clothes for my family.  We'll probably both switch to jeans when we stop by our house tomorrow between the ILs and my parents to let the dogs out. 
  • We are super casual so we always wear jeans.  I'll usually wear a casual sweater and either boots or sneakers depending on the weather.

  • We both have very casual families, jeans and a sweater is as dressed up as we get.

  • Depends on the family we're with. I always like being a little more presentable but I hate dress pants. You can really never go wrong with the sweater dress.

  • I guess we are way too casual because the thought of wearing dress pants never crossed my mind. 

    DH would be jeans and a t-shirt and I'm usually jeans and a sweater... things we would wear on the regular. We're not too fancy I guess.

  • I like your responses!  I was beginning to think my family was too casual, but I see his is just more up tight.....which I already knew :)
  • We also dressed up when we were little. Now my family is very casual. I try to always wear a dress but I prefer dresses. 

     My h's family is even more casual.  

  • We tend to do jeans with both families, but I will wear dressier tops on Thanksgiving. It also has to do with food and how it's served. Christmas at my mom's is served buffet style so it is more casual IMO.

    Ditto!  I wasn't sure if my family was just lazy or what...glad to see it's the other way around. :-)

  • Everyone is casual on both sides. We usually wear nice jeans and sweaters, or H will wear a blazer with a button down and jeans.

  • We wear jeans too. Typically we all get a little more "dressed" than normal. Like maybe a nicer shirt or more jewelry or something but its certainly not frowned upon to wear whatever you would wear any other day.

    I plan to wear jeans, a blouse and a cardigan tomorrow just bc I bought a bunch of new clothes this past week and I want to sport something new!

  • Christmas Eve is our only really dressy holiday.  I usually wear a skirt or dress if we celebrate with DH's family, but more casual if we are with mine.  Easter is also a little more dressy with my family.  I usually wear something I would wear to work.

  • I always thought my family was way too casual also.  We usually just wear jeans and a nice sweater or top.

  • My family dresses up. I'll be wearing a dress and tights. DH is wearing khakis and a sweater. His family is more casual -- nice jeans and tops.
