23 Dec 7 Failsafe Christmas Day Outfit Ideas You Can Rely on This Year & Next
What to wear on Christmas day is an important question. Especially if like me, you rely on obtaining a lot of joy from this gem of a winter day. Once halloween is over, all thoughts are firmly fixed on Christmas and remain there until the last cracker has been pulled. With the doom and gloom of winter having firmly set in by December, Christmas is a shining light of fun and frolics. And with all the festivities to be had, selecting a worthy christmas day outfit requires a little thought.
Your chosen ensemble needs to be a multi-tasker, fit for brunching, lunching, and lounging alike. With the potential for a spontaneous post-roast walk of course. And let us not forget family friendly. It also needs to match the festive mood, which could be so many things. If your family (or chosen family) dress up, then bring on the velvet and shimmer, and if not its all about a fancy pyjama or cosy knit. Whatever the vibe, guaranteed one of these 7 Christmas day outfit ideas will have you covered.
