What to Wear on Christmas Day

However you're spending Christmas Day, planning what to wear is always a key consideration. You might be happy to spend the whole day in pyjamas (and why not), but if you're planning to get dressed up, we've got all the Christmas Day outfit inspiration you need.

Knitwear is well-loved Christmas Day apparel, but instead of choosing a classic Christmas jumper, why not go for something a little more elevated? We suggest this subtly embellished jumper, which discreetly nods to the festive season thanks to the delicate chain detailing around the neckline, plus can be worn long after the decorations come down. Dial up with a sequinned skirt, or down with your favourite pair of jeans, the choice is yours.

If your Christmas Day dinner is a little more formal, or you just love to get dressed up, wearing a lace dress could be the answer. A hint of chiffon instantly makes an outfit feel special, whether you choose one key item, such as a ruffled blouse, or go for a full-length evening dress.

Look for peek-a-boo fabrics such as tulle to maximise the sense of occasion. Dial down the glamour for daytime with ballet pumps and a black blazer over a sleeveless dress, then elevate for evening with red lipstick and slingback heels.
