Want to look festive without the post-holiday credit card regret? Here are Target’s best holiday pieces that work for the whole family — and yes, everything’s under $35. Happy New Year’s Eve shopping!
For the Ladies
The Wild Fable velvet tank dress ($22) nails this season’s luxe trend without breaking the bank. The triangle cut keeps it modern, while the velvet fabric feels appropriately festive. Pair it with A New Day’s satin pull-on pants ($30) for a mix-and-match approach to evening wear — these pants look like silk but feel like your favorite loungewear.
For the Gentlemen
For the guys, Goodfellow & Co.’s cable crewneck pullover ($35) hits that sweet spot between casual and dressed up. In heathered cream, it’s got that expensive sweater look without the luxury price tag. The heavyweight construction means it’ll actually keep you warm at that rooftop party.
For the Kids
Got little ones to dress? The Art Class velour bubble dress ($25) in red is party-perfect for girls. The gathered skirt twirls beautifully (a must for any kid’s party dress), and the velour fabric feels special while staying comfortable. For boys, Cat & Jack’s plaid flannel button-down ($15) in orange adds a festive pop of color that works for both holiday photos and New Year’s celebrations.
Time To Accessorize
The accessories really make these outfits shine. A New Day’s jewelry chain clutch ($25) could easily pass for designer — its metallic finish catches the light perfectly. Their Lonnie kitten heel boots ($35) give you height without the torture (thank you, stretch material), and actually let you dance past midnight.
For those finishing touches, grab A New Day’s six-piece gold band ring set ($10). The mix of slim and chunky bands lets you stack them however you want for the perfect amount of sparkle. Their statement shower earrings ($10) add instant drama — they catch the light just right for those midnight toast photos.
The Final Word
The best part about all these pieces? They work beyond just New Year’s Eve. The velvet dress goes casual with boots and a sweater, the men’s cable knit works all winter long, and the kids’ pieces are sturdy enough for regular wear. Plus, Target Circle members save an extra 5% on everything.
Pro tip: Don’t wait until the last minute — Target’s holiday pieces tend to sell out fast, especially in popular sizes. And consider grabbing a few pieces to mix and match throughout the season. At these prices, you can create multiple looks for less than one department store outfit.
