Christmas is just around the corner and it’s time to start thinking about what to wear during the holidays. Choosing your Christmas look means finding the right balance between staying warm and maintaining your sense of style.
Christmas is a special event that only happens once a year, so we recommend planning everything in advance. For a few minutes, stop thinking about Christmas decorations, read our tips, and focus solely on how to keep your outfits well-coordinated for the many festivities ahead!
Looks to show off at the company Christmas party
Before Christmas, a staple for many women is the company party. The first thing you need to do is find out what time the party takes place. This is crucial information, as not all outfits are suitable for both day and night wear.
Wear darker, or sparkling and shimmering dresses at night, while sticking to warm or pastel tones for the day. You don't have to strictly adhere to the traditional red and green of the holidays, unless it’s a themed party.
It’s usually not very cold during the day, so you could opt for slightly lighter fabrics, saving the heavier ones for the night when the chill sets in. Outdoor parties are rare this time of year, but if you have one, adjust your look accordingly and above all... don’t underestimate the cold!
In any case, a warm coat will save the day, lending itself to both casual and elegant looks.
If you want a formal look that remains stylish, consider a turtleneck, which can be styled in various ways for your everyday wardrobe while always offering a warm and cozy embrace.
What to wear for Christmas lunch?
Here we are at the most important part of the holidays: Christmas lunch. Whether it’s with friends or family, at home or out, choosing your Christmas lunch look is never a trivial matter.
Opting for red is a solid choice, but a single red item isn't enough to make your outfit look festive. The look should always reflect your style and personality, so if a total red look is too “bold” for you, you can simply focus on an accessory in that color. This way, you’ll feel comfortable without giving up on tradition.
One piece of advice, however, always holds true: you will spend a lot of time at the table on Christmas Day, so choose a comfortable look that isn't too tight.
A refined and elegant short dress
Regardless of the location and company, a short dress, without too many frills but still refined and elegant, is perfect for Christmas lunch. Among your options, consider a sheath dress: the epitome of a super outfit that hugs your curves without being restrictive, highlighting your body's best features. A pair of pumps, a necklace (perhaps pearls), and light, glowing makeup, and you're ready to celebrate!
A sweater and mini skirt for a comfortable yet distinctive look
Decidedly more comfortable, yet no less cool, a sweater is the ideal solution for all kinds of situations. If you want a more distinctive touch, you can pair it with a mini skirt. Both the sweater and the mini skirt are very versatile pieces that you will be able to wear many times throughout this winter—and the next.
What about a look for Christmas Eve?
The same tips for Christmas lunch apply to Christmas Eve. Keep in mind that you’ll likely be awake until at least midnight to exchange greetings, and you will spend a long time at the table eating plenty of food. A more sophisticated look might be right for you if you're planning to spend the rest of the evening chatting and laughing with friends and family. Even a single detail can make all the difference.
