The festive period is usually a time for back-to-back parties, but one of the most important things about Christmas and the holiday season is spending time with friends and family. Whether you’ll be celebrating at home or are planning on going out to a restaurant, the below ensembles will make you feel a little special, whatever you have planned. People have very different ideas about what a Christmas Day outfit should look like. Some dress up in silks and sequins, while others have a strict “pj’s only” policy. Whatever your stance is on the December 25 dress code, one thing we can all agree on is that it never hurts to start planning ahead, and we’ve found perfect outfits for you to re-create this year.
If you like to dress up, we’ve found sparkling pieces that are comfortable for a day of feasting but still deliver all of the glamour. If you like to have fun with your Christmas look, then put a stylish twist on the classic festive jumper or all-day-pajamas look. But if getting dressed isn’t your vibe, layer up the cashmere and cosy knits to do your very best impression of Cameron Diaz in The Holiday. Keep scrolling to see and shop these Christmas-ready outfits.
Style Notes: If you aren’t one of those families who go on long walks on Christmas Day, then make the most of being sofa-bound by putting on your most fabulous look, with a healthy dose of festive sparkle.
I love the way this just reveals a touch of midriff.
You could pair with the matching top for all-out sparkle.
A glossy finishing touch.
Style Notes: If you want to feel relaxed without feeling scruffy, opt for a pair of silky bottoms and a cosy knit.
Head-to-toe cream is extremely chic, but the khaki brown version would also look beautiful.
Irresistibly luxurious.
A flash of gold is always a good idea.
Style Notes: If you go for an appetite-inducing walk, then Lucy’s chunky boots and beanie hat are no-brainers.

Chunky boots are a wardrobe hero at this point.
The cosiest accessory you can own this winter.
Style Notes: Years later, and we still can’t get enough of theSleeper feather-trimmed pyjamas, which prove that you can wear pjs and still feel glamorous. Wear your fanciest pyjamas with over-the-top accessories for a fabulous (but comfy) Christmas look.
This set always sells out quickly.
Add a touch of drama with these pearl-wrapped earrings.
So many influencers are a fan of these flats.
Style Notes: The knit makes this feel relaxed for a cosy day at home, but the slip skirt brings this a party element. Swap heels for slippers if you’re staying in, or add boots for something more practical if you’re going out.
The blush tone and the crinkled texture make this slip skirt extra good.
A cashmere cardigan will come in so handy.
Bring a party touch to the look with these gorgeous flats.
Style notes: Cameron Diaz’s aesthetic in The Holiday is something we want to copy every year—pile on cable-knits and cosy accessories.
So classic.
Follow Anouk’s example and double up on the cable knits.
There’s something so chic about cream trousers.
Style Notes: For many of us, Christmas day is as much a party as the festivities running up to it. There aren’t many days when you can be dressed up all day long, but Christmas is always an exception. Bring the glitz and glamour to the festive seasons with sequins all day long.
This could also double as your NYE dress.
These will be useful for so many parties.
Style Notes: You can take the girl out of the city, but you can’t take the city out of the girl. Put your own spin on countryside style by combining cosy layers with sophisticated accessories.
The snuggliest jacket I’ve ever seen.
You’ll wear these so much during the winter months.
They’re a classic for a reason.
Style Notes: Opt for a printed or Fair Isle knit that has an alpine feel but isn’t as novelty as a Christmas jumper. Pair with white jeans, loafers and statement earrings.
Embrace the festive season without going all out with a cheesy jumper.
