Comfortable and Timeless Party Outfits: Style Inspiration for the Year-End Festivities
Are you looking for an outfit for pre-Christmas parties, Christmas celebrations or New Year’s Eve? Explore our selection of responsible and comfortable pieces that work beautifully for festive occasions, everyday wear, and everything in between.
The end of the year is filled with one lovely celebration after another — pre-Christmas parties, Christmas, and the turn of the year. The festive season, however, can bring along outfit stress and the pressure to keep buying something new. We want to remind you that you don’t need a brand-new glitter dress for every occasion. The best festive pieces are comfortable, versatile, and easy to style. With thoughtful and responsible choices, you can build a timeless wardrobe where trusted garments carry you from everyday moments to festive events — and from one celebration to the next.
Dresses for the Season’s Celebrations
Dresses are an easy and reliable choice for festive occasions — and for good reason. A single perfect go-to dress can take you effortlessly through many different moments. Toive’s dresses combine comfort, timeless design, and high-quality materials that feel soft against the skin and stand the test of time. Our collection is designed to live with you, season after season.
Our selection includes two stunning fitted dress styles that flatter every body shape while feeling wonderfully comfortable to wear. The wrap dress allows you to easily adjust the fit, and the material is beautifully soft LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose. And of course, it comes with practical side pockets. Choose from classic black, gorgeous ultramarine, timeless khaki or the playful Köynnös print with green and lavender tones. The ribbed dress, on the other hand, is a trusted favourite among many of our customers — a flattering, flexible, and comfortable wardrobe staple. It features a low turtleneck and is made from a delightfully lightweight lyocell–cotton–elastane blend. The ribbed dress comes in a variety of colours, and aside from black, the shades change seasonally based on our customers’ wishes.
There are also great options for those who prefer a more relaxed dress style. The long-sleeved dress features a fuller A-line hem with two beautiful pleats. The puff-sleeved dress, on the other hand, has a more structured fit thanks to its straight-cut hem. The sleeves have delicate gathers at the shoulders for a soft, elegant touch. Both dresses are made from a slightly heavier, yet still soft and structured organic-cotton blend. And of course, both styles come with convenient side pockets. Choose timeless black for either dress, or brighten up the season with colour or print.
For those who tend to get chilly, a soft knit dress is the perfect festive choice. The Kajo knit dress is made of 100% mulesing-free merino wool, which both breathes and keeps you warm at the same time. The dress features a classic round neckline and an easy knee-length fit. Color options include deep red, perfect for Christmas, or timeless, reliable gray .
Style the your dress for festive occasions by pairing it with heels or ankle boots, high-quality tights, statement jewellery, and a polished hairstyle. Complete the look with a long coat and a small bag.
Festive Tops and Trousers
A stylish party outfit can also be built around separate tops and bottoms. Simple and timeless tops can easily be dressed up for special occasions. Brighten your pre-Christmas or New Year’s look with a top in a shade that matches your personal colour season. Alternatively, choose the always-reliable black and pair it with statement jewellery and a more festive bottom.
Our customers’ beloved ribbed products adapt effortlessly to any occasion. The ribbed knit fits perfectly and feels wonderfully lightweight, making it ideal for layering with other tops. Combine a ribbed top , t-shirt or polo in your favourite colour with a blazer and tailored trousers, for example. Choose your preferred shade from our colour analysis collection, deep neutral tones, or classic black.
For lovers of high necklines, there are plenty of options, as a new smooth-knit polo shirt has joined our ribbed collection. The viscose — familiar from our wrap dress — feels pleasantly soft against the skin. The turtleneck looks its best when framed with a V-shaped neckline created by a necklace, knitwear or a blazer. Style the turtleneck, for example, with a skirt or smart trousers.
Neat wide-leg trousers are an easy and comfortable choice for winter parties. The trousers keep you warm even in cold weather, as it is easy to add a warming layer underneath. On the other hand, with neat trousers it is possible to create a very festive outfit, when the other pieces of the outfit are in place. For example, the simple look of the Noki wide-leg trousers allows you to wear a more impressive top, bolder jewelry and higher heels. The even neater Wide pleated trousers and their matching outfits are perfect for going from the office to the dance floor without having to change into something festive between work and Christmas.
Wide-leg trousers are an easy and comfortable choice for winter festivities. They also keep you warm on colder days, as it’s effortless to add a thermal layer underneath. At the same time, wide-leg trousers can create a very polished and festive look when paired with the right pieces. For example, the clean, minimal design of the Noki wide-leg trousers allows you to wear a more eye-catching top, bolder jewellery and higher heels. The slightly more formal Wide Pleated Trousers, on the other hand, transition perfectly from office to dance floor — no need to change into a party outfit between the workday and the evening celebrations.
A Relaxed Outfit for Christmas
Do you prefer spending Christmas and the other holidays curled up on the sofa watching Christmas movies rather than dressing up for formal celebrations?
The most relaxed Christmas outfit is built around a comfortable sleep set, a cosy cardigan and warm wool socks. Those who tend to feel cold will love slipping into a long-sleeved nightdress, a pair of gifted wool socks, and the wonderfully warm Tyyni cardican, made from 100% mulesing-free merino wool. Instead of a dress, you can also opt for a two-piece sleep set that includes a short-sleeved T-shirt and shorts. Both the nightdress and the two-piece set are made from 100% organic cotton, which breathes, lasts and feels beautifully smooth on the skin. Print options include our customers’ favourite Älä hyljeksi pattern and Karpalo, a red-and-white stripe that’s perfect for Christmas.
Sweatshirt sets are an excellent choice when you don’t feel like spending the whole day in your pyjamas but still want to keep things relaxed. In our sweatshirt collection, you’ll find comfortable hoodies and sweatshirts, sweatpants and sweatshirt dresses. The sweatshirts have a relaxed fit and dropped shoulders that sit beautifully on all shoulder shapes. The selection ranges from from solid-coloured, lighter organic-cotton-blend sweatshirts to expressive Strength and You are enough printed tops made from a thicker 100% organic cotton. Thanks to the ribbed cuffs and hem, it’s easy to adjust the fit of the sleeves and bottom. The sweatpants also have a relaxed fit, and come in classic black or the cheerful, berry-pink marjapuuro shade. All sweatshirts and sweatpants feature unisex sizing, making them suitable for everyone.
Sweatshirt dresses are the best friends of anyone who loves dresses but prefers a relaxed feel. They share the same dropped shoulder line as our sweatshirts and, of course, include the highly requested side pockets our customers love. The hem is straight and knee-length, with a ribbed edge that adds structure to the drape. The material is a lightweight and comfortable organic cotton–elastane blend. Choose cheerful pink, classic black or the beautiful Köynnös print. Pair the dress with tights, or on colder days with thicker leggings or long trousers.
