How to plan your Christmas Day outfit
Posted on: 22/12/2023Holiday festivities are in full swing and you might even be on a
roll with buying presents – but have you thought about your Christmas Day outfit yet? There are endless possibilities
in the shops but, more often than not, the perfect Christmas
Day outfit will
already be sitting there in your wardrobe.
Last year saw a rise in the sale of
second-hand outfits so remember it's always worth looking for preloved
items if you fancy something different. Otherwise, you could always raid your
friends' wardrobes.
Need inspiration to get started? Here are some Christmas day outfit ideas that will have you feeling like the
best version of your 'elf!
Say it with sequins
Is it really Christmas without sequins? The ultimate party embellishments,
they're ideal for all celebratory occasions and a no-brainer for your Christmas Day outfit.
Make the most of their versatility by opting for a statement
piece of clothing or accessory and build your outfit around that. A pair of sequinned
trousers? A sequin-embellished jumper? Whatever you choose, you're guaranteed
to bring a little sparkle to proceedings with a Christmas
Day outfit that will have people's heads turning.
Go for a Christmas jumper
A festive jumper is bound to go down a treat if you're stuck for Christmas Day outfit ideas – and how cheesy you go is up
to you. You might already have one at the back of your wardrobe or perhaps you
want to treat yourself to a new number for this year's festivities. Embrace one
with glitter and texture or go for an 80-style vintage option with retro
designs.
Alternatively, go for a more pared-down knit in a neutral colour.
Whether it's a chunky cable knit or a soft cashmere piece, you have the option
to jazz it up with red lipstick or statement earrings.
Integrate velvet
Not only does velvet elevate a look but it also keeps you nice
and toasty. It can be surprisingly cosy to wear! With this in mind, velvet is a
natural choice for a Christmas Day outfit and there
are several ways you can incorporate it into your look.
Choose a long-sleeve top to add a dash of texture to your outfit,
whether in emerald green, deep burgundy, stunning sapphire blue or something a
little different. Instead of a top, you could dazzle with a pair of wide-leg
trousers, which will help you feel super-comfortable throughout the day.
Wear your best jewellery
If you're feeling uninspired by your wardrobe when looking for Christmas Day outfit ideas, switch your focus to jewellery
instead. You might have a special
piece of diamond jewellery, such as a pair of earrings or a necklace, that
you're desperate for an excuse to wear.
Perhaps you have other statement pieces you want to build your
outfit around, from hoop earrings to a charm bracelet. There's also the option
for specifically festive jewellery, which has a place for anyone seeking a
bright, colourful and vibrant look. For many, planning a Christmas
Day outfit around jewellery will make the process easier.
Settle on satin or silk
Christmas Day outfits that incorporate
silk or satin will instantly make you feel sophisticated. Wear them as a skirt,
dress or blouse to add a touch of elegance to your look. It's a fun material to
wear with knitwear, too, so you can experiment with all kinds of combinations,
depending on what's in your wardrobe.
Integrating these fabrics into your outfit, no matter the colour,
can be a stunning halfway point if you want to add something special to your
look without committing to sequins or glitter.
