Lori Loughlin’s return to Hallmark came with a wardrobe that does something most holiday movies skip: it actually looks like a New York woman’s closet. There are soft knits and fur-trim coats for the cold, then sharp red tailoring and full-length gowns when the story gets glamorous.
If you are searching for Lori Loughlin outfits from What If Christmas, this guide pulls together Erin’s coats, blazers, bags, pajamas and gowns, with the exact piece where we could confirm it and a close match where we could not.
About What If Christmas and Erin’s Wardrobe
What If Christmas is part of Hallmark’s Countdown to Christmas lineup, and it marks Lori Loughlin’s first Hallmark movie in roughly 7 years. She plays Erin, a devoted wife who spent years supporting her husband Adam’s career as a heart surgeon, played by Tom Cavanagh. Jerry Ciccoritti directed.
Erin once dreamed of working in fashion design. When a heart-shaped Christmas ornament sends her into a world where she is a successful designer, the movie gets to play with two sides of her life: the everyday Erin and the designer Erin. That gives the costumes room to move between cozy and polished.
A few notes before you shop. We opened each retailer page to confirm fabric, color and fit. Some pages would not load, and a few items are sold out or are listed as similar matches, so we only describe what we could verify and say so when we could not.

Lori Loughlin Outfits As Erin in What If Christmas
The Lori Loughlin White Floral Sweater matches an Equipment cashmere floral print sweater found on The RealReal. Cashmere in a floral print is a nice contrast to the usual solid holiday knit, and it works under a coat or on its own.
The RealReal page would not open for us, so we cannot confirm the exact print color or fit. Since it is a resale listing, only one piece is usually available, which means it can be gone quickly.
Erin’s everyday bag points to a Coach leather tote, also on The RealReal. A dark brown leather tote is the kind of bag that goes with nearly every outfit on this list, from the cashmere sweater to the wool wrap coat.
We could not load the listing, so check the size and condition notes before ordering. The Lori Loughlin Dark Brown Leather Derby Tote Bag look is really about the color and the structured leather shape, so any similar Coach tote will get you close.
SilkSilky’s 100% Mulberry Silk Classic Pajama Set with contrast piping is the closest we found. It is made from 100% mulberry silk, sold as washable, and carries OEKO-TEX and GOTS certifications.
The details are classic: a turn-down collar, a chest pocket, rolled hem cuffs on the sleeves and legs, and contrast piping along the edges. The page lists Grayish Blue, Pink, White, Light Pink, Dark Blue and Black, so look at the movie stills to decide which shade is nearest.
A set like the Lori Loughlin Grey Contrast Piping Silk Pajama Set is a good reminder that a polished look can still feel relaxed.
The LoveShackFancy Mornet Faur-Fur Coat at Saks Fifth Avenue is the link provided for Erin’s light brown coat. The product name and category suggest faux fur, but the page did not confirm the fabric, length or closure.
Treat this as a strong lead rather than a full spec. The Lori Loughlin Light Brown Faux Fur Coat is the most dramatic outerwear piece on the list, so pair it with simple, dark basics and let the coat do the talking.
This one is a similar match, not an exact copy. Lisa Maree’s Charlotte Mongolian Wool Coat in Baby Blue is a wool coat with a Mongolian wool collar and cuffs, which gives you the same soft fur trim against a pale blue base.
It is dry clean only and comes in five other colors, including beige, black, brown, tan and white. When we checked, the baby blue was listed as low stock, so the Lori Loughlin Light Blue Fur Trim Wool Coat may not last the season.
Another similar pick. The Michael Kors long-sleeve top from Giglio is an animal print in ecru, made from cotton, so it is lighter in color and in fabric than a grey silk shirt.
Still, the animal print gives you the same snakeskin energy. The Lori Loughlin Grey Snakeskin Printed Silk Shirt is a good way to add pattern under a blazer without making the outfit feel busy.
Revolve’s Heroine Sport Aimee Leather Pant in Black is the matching link. The page did not list the fabric, rise or fit, and the name says leather, so check the product details to confirm whether it is the faux version you want. It was listed as a preorder when we looked.
Black faux leather pants are one of the easiest ways to make a plain sweater look intentional. They are the Erin Black Faux Leather Pants piece you will probably wear the most.
A similar option is L’AGENCE’s Chamberlain Striped Blazer at Saks Fifth Avenue. The page did not show the fabric, color or fit, so we cannot say how close the stripe is to the movie piece.
A striped blazer in a neutral tone is a safe office-to-dinner jacket. If you are shopping for the Lori Loughlin Beige Striped Blazer, look for a thin stripe and a straight cut.
The Ted Baker Rose wool blend wrap coat from Bloomingdale’s is the listed match. We could not open the page, so fabric blend, length and closure are unconfirmed.
What the name does tell you is the shape: a wool blend wrap coat. A dark green wrap coat is a smart alternative to the usual black or camel, and the Lori Loughlin Dark Green Wool Wrap Coat feels a lot more festive without going near red.
Revolve carries the Camila Coelho Jila Vest in Sage, which matches the tailored vest shape in a slightly greener color than beige. The page did not give a fabric or detailed fit, and it files the vest under cropped tops.
That means the vest is likely shorter than a traditional waistcoat. It is a smart layer over a fitted shirt, and it makes the Lori Loughlin Beige Tailored Vest an easy outfit-builder.
The Camila Coelho Jila Pant in Sage from Revolve looks like the trouser that goes with the vest above, and it is listed in sizes XXS to XL. The page is labeled as a best seller in high waisted pants, but it does not describe the belt detail, so we cannot confirm the double belt.
If you are going for the Erin Beige Double Belted Trousers look, wear them with the matching vest for a full tailored set.
This bag links to the same Cult Gaia RAIA Satchel in Black mentioned above, so it is worth knowing it is a similar match in both places, not the exact bag.
It is a structured satchel with a sculptural top handle and a gemstone-inspired charm. For the Lori Loughlin Black Leather Shoulder Bag, that charm is a nice small detail that stops a black bag from looking plain.
Zara’s Belted Buckle Blazer in red is the exact link. The shell is 74% polyester, 19% viscose and 7% elastane, with a 100% acetate lining. It has a lapel collar, long sleeves, shoulder pads, front flap pockets and a single concealed snap button.
The matching fabric belt closes with a gold-tone buckle, which pulls in the waist and gives the red a structured, almost power-suit feel. The Lori Loughlin Red Buckle Belted Blazer is easily one of the boldest looks on this list.
The Zara Wide-Leg Pants in red use the same fabric blend as the blazer above, which suggests they are meant to be worn together as a set. They are high-rise with front pockets, a front zip, an inner button and a hook-and-eye closure.
A full red suit is a lot, so the Lori Loughlin Red Wide Leg Pants are also useful on their own with a white shirt or a black knit.
The original white rhinestone tie-neck blouse is sold out, and we have not yet found a close match with a confirmed page. We will update this section once we do.
Until then, look for a white blouse with a tie neck and a small amount of sparkle at the collar. That is the detail that makes the Lori Loughlin White Rhinestone Neck Tie Blouse stand out.
Milly’s Avery Cady Blazer in red is the exact match. It is made from a structured cady fabric, a polyester and spandex blend with light stretch, and it is fully lined with front pockets and a single-button front that can be worn open or buttoned.
The cut is tailored and fitted through the torso, with darts for shape, although reviews and size notes say it can run big. It is mid-weight, wrinkle-resistant and dry clean only, which makes the Lori Loughlin Red Single Breasted Blazer practical for travel too.
The link points to a Depop listing for a white blouse. Depop is a resale app, and the page would not open for us, so we cannot confirm the brand, print or size.
If this is the piece you want, check the listing quickly because resale items disappear fast. Overall, the Lori Loughlin Floral Tie-Neck Blouse is a good example of a soft, feminine top that can sit under almost any blazer on this list.
The match is the Ladivine CD992 Sheer-Bodice Long Embellished Prom Dress from PromGirl. It is a long, fitted, sleeveless gown with intricate beading, a sheer waist and thin straps.
The product image is labeled rose gold, not silver, so confirm the shade before you order. The beaded detail is what gives the Lori Loughlin Silver Floral Gown its shine, and it will photograph well at a holiday party.
A similar choice is the Faviana 11205 Applique Satin Sleeveless Gown at ABC Fashion. It is a floor-length stretch satin gown with beaded appliqué on the sides and leg slit, a fitted slit skirt and a sheer back panel.
It comes in red, shimmer peri and navy. Of all the formal pieces here, the Lori Loughlin Red Satin Gown is the easiest to picture at a Christmas gala.
Which Lori Loughlin Outfits Are You Copying First?
The nice thing about this wardrobe is how wearable most of it is. Red tailoring, a good wrap coat and a clean black bag are all pieces you can wear well past December.
If you want to start with Lori Loughlin outfits that give you the most use, begin with the red Zara blazer and wide-leg pants, then add the Cult Gaia satchel. Tell us in the comments which of Erin’s looks you want to see first.
