Under $100: What to wear on Christmas day when style (and comfort) is the goal

Dressing for Christmas Day can be a tough feat. It's a special occasion so you want to look nice, but the summer heat, and knowing you'll be eating a lot of food make it difficult to choose the perfect outfit.

These pieces feature comfy waistlines and flowing silhouettes and are constructed from materials like cotton and linen, giving you the breathability you'll need. Whether you want a loose, comfortable dress, or a pair of shorts you can adjust after you eat, we guarantee you'll find it on this list.

Best of all, these options are all under $100, and can all be re-worn at other times throughout the year (no Christmas-specific slogans in sight).
