Sparkling dresses, gold and silver, sky-high pumps and bright red lipstick -- these are the common makings of the holiday season wardrobe. Enter: the hoodie.

Just because all the holiday parties are starting to get cancelled this year, doesn't mean we can't still dress up at home. Holiday party outfit ideas often have a glitzy connotation which can lead to a lack of inspiration that caters to those with a more minimalist taste. Enter this pared down yet incredibly stylish look from Elin Kling. It's perfect for every holiday from Christmas to New Year's and everything in between. The major plus is it only calls for 3 key pieces which you may already have in your closet: an oversized beige sweater, sleek black slip skirt, and black mule heels.
