It’s currently the height of the holiday season and one film that bring the holiday spirit and tons of laughter is Elf. Even though it was only released about ten years ago, it instantly became a holiday classic for many. Centered around the character Buddy (Will Ferrell), a human raised by elves in the North Pole, the film depicts Buddy’s journey of leaving the North Pole for New York City to find his real father.

Buddy the Elf

This first outfit is inspired by the always optimistic Buddy the Elf. While many people may not look to Buddy as a fashion icon, the colors in his elf ensemble serve as fab inspiration for holiday outfits. Using this seasonal green hue will have you channeling Buddy’s getup without making you look like one of Santa’s helpers.

Dress, Belt, Tights, Heels, Necklace, Hair Bow

To get Buddy’s look, start with a long-sleeved dress in a dark green hue. This collared one truly channels his outfit. Instead of mustard yellow tights, rock a pair of seasonal gold-and-black glitter tights.

A black belt defines the waist, while black pumps (or flats) replicate Buddy’s pointy shoes. Mimic the touches of white in his getup with this statement necklace, then replace Buddy’s green elf hat with an adorable hair bow.

This next ensemble is based on Jovie’s very festive work outfit. Like Buddy’s ensemble, this look may not seem very wearable, but it still serves as inspiration to create a cute outfit for the holidays.
