A New Day Long Sleeve Knit Ballet Maxi Dress
A classic black dress is a holiday staple and Garcia thinks Target’s A New Day brand knocked it out of the park with this one. Our TODAY viewers love the summertime version of the brand’s “Ballet Dress,” so this winter variation has our attention. The long sleeves provide warmth and coverage, and because it’s made from a soft jersey fabric, it’s comfortable for long family visits, dinners and holiday parties. It’s fitted on the top but loose at the mid-section, hips and thighs, so it’s flattering on all body types, according to Garcia. A dress like this is so versatile — elevate it with heels, statement earrings and a red lip, or go casual with flats and a denim or moto jacket as an added layer. It comes in black, burgundy and beige and is available in sizes XS through 4X.
Future Collective Crewneck Eyelash Sweater
We’ve been seeing a lot of textured sweaters this season, so Garcia has her eye on this crewneck pick. The textured material will add subtle flair to any look, which is especially helpful if you’re not a huge fan of patterns and colors. Plus, our team says it’s so soft! Pair it with jeans for a more casual vibe or dress it up with a skirt or trousers.
A New Day Brilliant Gemstones Headband
As Garcia says, hair accessories are a really fun way to add some holiday sparkle to your outfits — and Target is majorly stepping up its selection for this holiday season with a bunch of bright, $10 options.
A New Day Gleaming Rhinestone Lined Headband
This headband adds extra sparkle, but the rhinestones are neutral, so they pair well with everything.
A New Day Satin Top Knot Headband with Stones
This headband will transform a simple look. Garcia recommends adding it to a head-to-toe black outfit for low-effort cuteness.
A New Day Embellished Stones Headband
Love adding an elevated, gold-tone touch to your wardrobe? This headband has a regal vibe but it’s just $10.
Journee Collection Women’s Bindi Pointed Toe Kitten Heel Pumps
Editor’s note: This pick is sold out in some sizes. We found a similar item you might like below.
According to Garcia, a shoe can dictate an entire outfit — and we couldn’t agree more! She recommends reaching for these to boost the elegance of any holiday look. The kitten heel isn’t too high, only 1.5 inches, so they’re easy to wear day or night (especially helpful if you’re entertaining). Better yet, there’s a padded footbed for extra comfort and ease of wear.
Journee Collection Women’s Crystol Slip On Low Stiletto Pointed Toe Pumps
These timeless heels can be worn throughout the entire holiday season — and for years to come. There’s a slightly lower-heeled version, too!
Future Collective Notched Lapel Double-Breasted Coat
Garcia loves this double-breasted tuxedo style coat since it’s sleek, polished and perfect for getting you through the entire holiday season (and beyond!). According to her, it elevates any look: If you’re wearing something more casual, just throw this on top and it’ll transform your outfit. Or if you’re opting for something more formal, like a holiday dress, it meets the moment. The satin lapels make the tuxedo style, plus it’s fully lined so it will keep you warm on chilly evenings. The oversized look works well with big sweaters and other bulky winter clothing, but Garcia recommends sizing down if you prefer a slimmer fit.
A New Day Super-Hise Rise Tapered Ankle Tailored Satin Trousers
Speaking of, these tailored, high-waisted satin trousers are a timeless classic. Again, they prove that texture can really elevate a look — the satin feels super holiday-inspired! Garcia loves how thick the material actually is, so you can stay warm while looking cute. Plus, there’s a zipper, fly hook and pockets, so they feel secure. The tapered ankle is great for pairing with heels if you’re dressing up or any flat for daily comfort. They come in black and burgundy and sizes range from 0 to 26.
