Holiday Outfit Ideas That Will Sleigh The Holiday Season
As Christmas approaches, the scramble begins to find the perfect outfit for the occasion. From attending carol services and festive dinners to simply having a casual night in with the family, here are some festive outfit ideas to make sure you’re well dressed for the season.
Subtle Glamour
If you’re heading out to a Christmas party, why not opt for a festive look with a subtle nod towards glamour? Think bejeweled petite pieces with glittering accents that can be dressed up or down. The key to subtle glam is to keep the accessorizing to a minimum and opt for a timeless and elegant silhouette.
An example of the perfect glam look for this holiday season would be a classic navy velvet sheath dress with ¾ length sleeves, paired with a beautiful pair of statement earrings and a simple stiletto heel in a winter neutral such as camel or metallic silver. Take it to the next level by adding a champagne-hued shawl in velvet or a luxe fur stole for a touch of opulence.
Chic and Casual
Having a laid-back Christmas? Opt for a chic, casual look that is perfect for lounging around the house. Think luxe, on-trend knitwear and shapeless silhouettes in all sorts of colours and textures. Choose fabrics such as cashmere, alpaca, mohair, and merino wool, to keep you cosy and looking polished even when you’re staying in.
Pair a maximum-comfort sweater with a relaxed pair of jeans or joggers, or go for an oversized poncho or cape. Finish the look with the season’s must-have accessory — the warm and luxurious statement boot.

For a Christmas workout, pick layered items such as a hoodie and joggers to keep you warm, paired with a seasonal hued beanie and cool trainers. If you’re running errands or popping out for lunch, go for a long-line knit and a pair of leggings, with a faux fur gilet on top for an extra cozy layer.
