Christmas is all about dressing up. A time where sequins, glitter and glam are very much de rigueur.
However, the festive season is going to look very different this year. Out go big family Christmases, drinks with the neighbours and cocktail parties, and in come intimate dinners, video calls and small garden gatherings. But even though Christmas 2020 is going to be a low-key affair, that doesn’t mean we can’t still dress up in shimmery skirts and stylish trousers!
And from luxe fabrics to shimmers and sparkles, we’ve got you covered. So, however you’re celebrating this Christmas, here’s how to do it in style.
Why dress up?
It’s only natural that we might be feeling a pang of sadness that we can’t enjoy our traditional Christmas celebrations. We might even be wondering what is the point of dressing up?
But putting on clothes that make us feel special sets the right tone for the celebrations. Can you truly feel Christmassy if you’re sat in your oldest pyjamas? So, what to wear for Christmas? We say, wear the sparkles, rock that smoky eye and be your usual fabulous Christmas self. And if you want to wear that LBD for an outside gathering, do it − just make sure you have a big coat!
For a Christmas Eve night in
It might be a quieter night than previous years, but you can make your own Christmas Eve magic with this raindrop sequin detail jumper. The glittering embellishment is perfect for this special night, but made from a soft fabric, it’s comfort itself. Team it with our ponte straight-leg trousers. In a stretch jersey, they’ll feel great and won’t lose their shape. And you’ll look and feel fabulously comfortable all night long, whether you’re enjoying an intimate dinner for two or a family film night on the sofa. Accessorise with a glass of champagne, of course.
For a chilled-yet-chic Christmas morning
Start Christmas Day off in style with this beautiful pair of satin women’s pyjamas. Totally luxurious but wonderfully warm, they’ll look effortlessly elegant as you sit down for a leisurely Christmas brunch. They have a stretch waist too, so you can treat yourself to another helping. It is Christmas, after all!
For FaceTime with the family
What to wear at home on Christmas Day? You might not be able to spend the big day with all your family this year, so if you’ve got a video call scheduled then you’ll want to make sure you’re looking suitably festive! It’s obviously all about what’s up top, and the bow on this gorgeous tie-neck blouse is a stylish detail that will add some interest to your look. Pair it with these chic check trousers. With an adjustable waist fastening and an easy-fit leg, you’ll feel comfortable all day long. Finish off your outfit with a pair of sparkly earrings and you’ll be camera-ready to wish your nearest and dearest Happy Christmas.
A Boxing Day walk
Blow the cobwebs and Christmas dinner away with a traditional Boxing day walk. These jean-style trousers with a stretch fit are perfect for a Christmas constitutional. Pair them with this Thermolactyl jumper in a seasonal green or wintry white. With thermal qualities and a cute pom-pom embellishment, it will easily take you from winter wonderland to fireside pub.
An intimate New Year’s Eve dinner party
Your New Year’s Eve celebrations might be scaled down this time, but you’ll still want to make it sparkle! This gorgeous pleated skirt with a subtle shimmer ticks all the boxes. In a flattering knee length and with a stretch waist, it will effortlessly skim over your tummy and hide the overindulgence of the past few days. Wear it with this embellished fluffy jumper for a touch of seasonal glamour and some diamond stud or drop earrings for a pared-back party outfit perfect for celebrating at home.
For New Year’s Eve drinks outside
If you’re planning on moving your celebrations al fresco, then you’ll want to look fabulous, not freezing! This on-trend fair isle jumper not only looks super-stylish, it’s made from our innovative Thermolactyl fabric, so it will keep you warm and toasty all the way to midnight. Style it with some slim fit jeans, chunky boots and a glass of something mulled.
