I'm often asked what is the best thing to wear on Christmas Day....read on for my 5 Top Tips to Christmas Day Dressing.
There is no right or wrong, it all depends upon you Christmas looks like for you.
We all need something different from our clothes and actually, this is true whatever the occasion, whatever the season and however we wish to feel in our clothes.
Will it be a simpler Christmas with our families where the idea of presents in our Pyjama's will appeal or maybe you are intending to enjoy cocktails in cashmere? Or perhaps you prefer an altogether smarter affair when you will be pulling on some sparkles?
Whatever you choice, here are my favourite top 5 Christmas Day Dressing tips.
Decide now what you are going to wear...and plan
Is it clean? Does your blouse need a button replaced? Does it still fit? How do you feel in it? Remember you may be wearing it all day.
Nothing worse than pulling something from your wardrobe on Christmas Day when time is premium and it doesn't cut the mustard.
Shower and do your make-up
First thing (perhaps once you have attended to popping your Turkey in the oven), have a shower and fix your face.....time will disappear through your fingers and you may not get chance before your guests arrive. I KNOW! I've been there.
Only dress your bottom half
If you are the Christmas Chef, only dress your bottom half whilst you continue to prepare the 'messy' bits, then all you have to do is change your top. Don't cook in anything new...you don't wish to risk a spillage on it's first outing. Love this opulent velvet option from Sosander
Don't wear your heels too soon
Wearing heels? Don't put them on too soon and certainly not whilst you are lifting the Turkey about...those birds are heavy. You don't want to topple over.
Aren't they a smashing colour. Remember a smarter velvet can become a wardrobe staple for occasions throughout the year. These from Marks and Spencer.
Sequins are not just for Christmas
Nothing quite like the opluence of sequins at this festive time. Don't just save them for Christmas, you can extend them into the New Year celebrations and of course in true sustainability style, throughout the year too.
Have you decided upon your Christmas Day outfit yet?
What a year 2022 has been so I bring it to a close wishing you a most wonderful Christmas with your loved ones.
