The holiday season—though packed with so much activity—invites us to slow down, savor cozy moments, and cherish being close to those we love. Whether it’s the quiet of an early morning or a cozy evening in, these gatherings bring us closer to ourselves and each other. This year, my holiday capsule wardrobe reflects that spirit—effortless, comfortable, and thoughtfully curated. Haven Well Within is my go-to for elevated essentials, and this season, their pieces help me strike just the right balance of chic and comfortable.
From wrapping gifts by the fire in a classic cable knit to exploring holiday markets in cozy leggings and an oversized sweater, these looks feel festive without trying too hard. Every piece is designed to keep things simple and elevated, perfect for sinking into the season’s restful pace.
With refined loungewear for movie marathons and laid-back hosting, these versatile pieces make even the simplest holiday moments feel intentional. Embracing cozy doesn’t mean sacrificing style—it’s about finding a balance that lets you fully enjoy the season.
For baking Christmas cookies with my kids, I love slipping into this ultra-cozy cashmere sweater and matching wide-leg pants. The cable knit adds just the right touch of texture, while the soft, relaxed fit makes it feel like a warm hug—perfect for spending the afternoon frosting cookies and laughing over our (inevitable) decorating mishaps. It’s an ideal combination of cozy and elevated, and it makes holiday moments like this feel extra special.
These pieces create a chic yet laid-back outfit that I can wear all day long (when I’m winding down with some hot cocoa by the fire). It’s exactly the kind of look I want to wear this season—festive and full of warmth.
When I’m in full gift-wrapping mode, I want to feel cozy and put-together—making this sweater tee and matching wide-leg pants my go-to. The soft material is soft against my skin, perfect for hours of wrapping, folding, and tying ribbons, while the relaxed fit gives me room to move around without feeling restricted. I love how the porcini color feels both neutral and fresh, and the wide-leg silhouette adds a simple touch of chic.
To top off the look, I slip into these faux-fur banded slippers for ultimate comfort. They’re ridiculously cozy and make every step feel luxurious, even as I’m knee-deep in the holiday hustle. It’s a combination that makes even the simplest tasks feel like a treat—and I’m all about making the little moments spark joy this season.
On a quiet afternoon by the fire, this cashmere sweater is my perfect companion. It’s effortlessly chic, cozy, and perfect for curling up with a good book. The soft fabric feels like a gentle embrace, making it the kind of piece I never want to take off.
I pair it with these beyond-comfy leggings for a laid-back yet polished look. They offer just the right amount of stretch, perfect for an afternoon of relaxation. My cozy sherpa slippers complete the outfit, keeping my feet warm while I curl up with a cup of tea. Simple, cozy, and so inviting—this is my ideal fireside uniform.
Tree trimming is one of my favorite holiday traditions, and this outfit is perfect for getting into the spirit. I love this sweater’s cozy feel in a warm porcini and ivory combo—it’s soft and substantial, just the right balance of snug and breathable. Paired with these wide-leg pants, the look is casual but elegant. It’s perfect for moving around the house as I hang wreathes and wrap lights on the tree.
To complete the look, I add this cashmere beanie. The classic design makes it a go-to for when I need an added layer of warmth. This combination makes it easy to stay cozy while still looking put together for one of the season’s most festive activities.
A neighborhood lights tour is always a magical way to celebrate the holiday spirit. Living in Austin, where the weather is milder, I love how this sweater tee feels cozy without being too hot. Paired with leggings, it’s comfortable and streamlined enough for a relaxed evening of taking in the twinkling lights.
For those in colder climates, I’d recommend layering a heavier coat on top—this cinch-waist coat is my pick for staying warm while still looking chic. Altogether, this look strikes the perfect balance of effortless comfort and holiday cheer.
As the season calls for indulgence and relaxation, there are a few more essentials I always keep close by in my holiday capsule wardrobe. The first is this curly sherpa bucket tote—its soft texture and spacious design make it the perfect carry-all for my holiday outings, from last-minute gift runs to cozy coffee dates. Plus, the neutral oat color complements every outfit, adding a touch of warmth and texture.
When it’s time to wind down, this organic cotton plaid pajama set is my pick for a cozy night in. The relaxed fit and soft fabric make it feel like a luxurious treat, whether I’m curled up by the fire or catching up on holiday movies. And to complete the festive self-care routine, I always keep a Vertly peppermint stick lip balm on hand. Its refreshing scent and nourishing formula make it a sweet little indulgence to keep my skin feeling fresh and hydrated during the colder months. Together, these pieces elevate my downtime and add that extra layer of holiday comfort.
