Graduating from the tabletop tree to a full-sized Fraser fir (live or fake) is the ultimate sign you have a grown-up holiday setup. Adding a skirt around said real-deal tree makes it official. Sure, it’s job is to hide an unsightly stand or power strip, but the blanket of fabric also acts as a visual anchor for your living room. Our favorites this season trade cheesy snowmen for floral-embroidered velvet, faux bois stitching, cable-knit wool, and more eye-catching details.
Best Neutral Tree Skirts
Not a red-and-green lover? We see you. These picks are simple but set the tone for a festive arrangement: hand-felted poinsettias adorning button closures, bunchy cable-knit that’s like a snug sweater, plush faux fur, and ridged velvet.
Best Cottagecore Tree Skirts
Gingham, raffia, stripes, and ruffles—these sound like summery details, but they’re surprisingly cozy. Cox & Cox’s new ruffle-trimmed pick comes in a delightful shade of nutmeg. California clothing brand Eddy teamed up with Maisonette for a checkered skirt meant to evoke nostalgia. And The Citizenry’s braided jute piece is an obvious choice for a beachside bungalow or playful cabin.
Best Classic Tree Skirts
This year, big-box stores went all out for traditional holiday details…with a twist. Joon Loloi and Magnolia paired vintage-inspired botanicals with scalloped edging; McGee & Co. threaded tonal velvet ribbon through its punchy red skirt; and CB2 leaned Art Deco with the help of Australian designer Silvana Azzi Heras.
Best Nontraditional Tree Skirts
This accessory often goes down before there’s a pile-up of presents, so why not get one that you’re excited to look at for the month of December? We’re especially excited about West Elm’s new collaboration with Lone Fox, which features a stitched faux bois design that mimics the lines of swirling wood grain. Multicolor florals and fuzzy plaid patchwork also feel festive in the funkiest way.
Best Tree Collars
For 2026, brands are betting big on statement tree collars. Serena & Lily applied the tassel trend to its tiered version (available in green, white, or gold thread). Meanwhile, Crate & Barrel and Lulu and Georgia gave the standard round shell a scalloped wave (the former in brass, the latter in rattan). Terrain’s whimsical drum brings a touch of circus to the holidays and is the perfect size for that tabletop tree you might still be hanging onto.
