What is the perfect outfit for the holiday season? Well, it all depends on who you ask. It can be difficult to know what to wear for the festive season. From Christmas outfit ideas to finding the perfect Christmas look today we wanted to share with you how it’s really not that difficult to find the best Christmas day outfits and outifts for the time of year. You can still keep your own style whilst sharing in the festive spirit. Find out how you can look your best for all the different events you will probably have going on this Christmas time with our top tips.
The perfect Christmas party outfit
Christmas parties can range from an office party where you stick to a typical business casual look with smart trousers and dressy tops to a more formal look reminiscent of a black tie affair. It all depends on the type of party you are going to. But when it comes to a Christmas party you cannot go wrong with a classic Christmas look. Think; glitter, sequins, clothes with festive touches, and anything that screams festive mood.
The most important thing is that you are comfortable in your skin and in your outfit of course. Many of us have to trek on public transportation to get to our Christmas parties, so remember that comfort is key. Consider a cute sweater dress and a statement coat paired with some ankle boots and you will see that you are good to go!
Christmas Eve looks
Depending on your culture, your Christmas Eve will look very different. Some cultures tend to celebrate Christmas Eve more than Christmas Day itself with a party and feast that runs into the wee hours. If you will be having a Christmas Eve celebration at night then it’s actually quite fun to get dressed up. For this day Christmas dresses and festive Christmas outfits are the go-to and are great options for a more formal dinner.
However, if your idea of getting in the Christmas spirit is putting on your Christmas pyjamas, dressing gowns, and sitting on the sofa for a family night of Christmas films and hot chocolate, that’s absolutely acceptable too. For that you just need to make it a PJ day, or night, and try to get the kids to bed before they try to say they will wait up for Mr and Mrs Claus to make it down the chimney.
Best Christmas day outfits
One thing you can expect when the big day has arrived is a delicious meal. Few meals throughout the year can beat out Christmas lunch with family members and even though you will probably be tempted to bring out the elasticated waistband to the dinner table, try to stay on course with a festive outfit that you can look and feel good in.
The perfect Christmas day outfit can vary, but there are some staples and classics that you cannot go wrong with. For example, a great Christmas day outfit idea is a nice top with a midi skirt and a cute plaid scarf. Or how about a midi dress, or a satin skirt with a long sleeve top that is just as nice?
We usually tend to have a collection of Christmas day outfits in our closet because there are certain colours and patterns that scream Christmas. Think: red, tartan patterns, greens, and golds. Your go to may even be ugly Christmas sweaters or jumpers! Consider embracing different colors than what you usually would go for can also help you complete your festive look. For example, jewel tones that aren’t emerald green or ruby red, like sapphire blue or even amethyst are great Christmas lunch or Christmas dinner alternatives.
New Year’s Eve outfits
This is the day that most people go out with friends and really make a party of it. Come New Year’s Eve you can expect to see less of a casual look and more of a sequin mini dress going on. Sequin dresses and all sorts of party dresses are the typical party outfits for this day. Whether you’ve gotten a pair of gorgeous thigh high boots as one of your Christmas gifts that you are keen to show off or just want to see out the Christmas season with a bang, this is the day to go all out. Break the rules with white dresses, black dresses, whatever type of dresses really, but glitz and glam is the way to go.
Whether you are looking for more casual outfits or want to get glammed up the good news is you will always look your best if you choose your own style. Just try to stay away from the skinny jeans!
