Can you believe it? Christmas is just around the corner. Meaning it’s just a matter of time before we’re surrounded by family, sipping prosecco and singing to Bublé and Mariah without a care in the world. Now, if that doesn't give you a warm fuzzy feeling inside, we don’t know what will! 🎄
In true New Look form, we’ve been thinking hard about what to wear for such a special occasion. But after a good scroll of the site and eyeing up everything cosy, embellished and sparkly, we think we’ve found the perfect looks.
Want in? Well good news, we’ve rounded them all up below. From silky PJs for opening presents and shimmering sequins for wowing over the dinner table, to jazzy knits for late-night charades, this 25th December is about to be your most fashionable yet…
1. A Stylish Start
Whether the big day begins with breakfast or presents for your family, start as you mean to go on in the wardrobe department: in style. This pyjama look is so glam, we’re surprised it wasn’t taken straight from a scene of Blair waking up in Gossip Girl.
A silky satin set should be your outfit’s focal point — we love the Christmassy red on this leopard print pair. Meanwhile, a bead-head eliminating headband and plush faux-fur slippers will function as the fancy finishing touches. Serve up your morning brew in a cute Christmas mug and it’ll double up as the perfect in-hand prop when you’re posing for the ‘gram. 📸
2. Dazzling at Dinner
Now for the main event and the one everyone’s been waiting for — the Christmas dinner. Whether you’ve got countless family members crammed around your dining table at home or you’re headed to a restaurant for the most legendary roast of the year, it’s your chance to go full festive and embrace all the sequins and statement accessories 2020 stole from you. ✨
Making a mirror ball your muse, style a shimmering silver mini with starry diamanté earrings and an embellished headband that screams party season. Keep the sparkle in the spotlight by paring the rest of your look back with a black shoulder bag and matching heels. We’re in love!
3. Winter Walk Chic
Stuffed to the brim with turkey, roast potatoes, and pudding, it’s only a matter of time before your mum chimes in with a “shall we go walk it off?”. Being the good child you are, you’ll happily oblige – especially when you have a great outfit to do it in 💁♀️.
We’ll be in the thick of winter at this point, so staying cosy but cute is the name of the game. Embrace the head-to-tonal trend and choose a cream jumper dress as your base, then layer over a dressing gown-rivalling belted trench – bonus points if it’s in a chic print. Step up your look with chunky boots made for walking and a quilted bucket hat.
4. Sparkle After-Dark
The sun has set, Dad’s snoring away on the sofa and many a festive special has been watched. But you’ve still got life left and whether set to see friends or play games with siblings, you’re ready to see out the big day with a fashionable bang. 💥
Guarantee you sparkle long into the night by teaming a twinkly embellished cardigan with glistening chandelier earrings. Probably still full from lunch, keep things comfy on bottom with elasticated flares. Up the dressy feel with diamanté trainers and a cute ‘90s shoulder bag if you are venturing away from home. Christmas dressing? Nailed it.
