It’s never too early to start planning your outfit for Christmas, Boxing Day and New Year’s Eve, as well as all your festive events such as the office Christmas party. Whether you’re looking for a classic little black dress or an alternative party outfit like a velvet suit or jumpsuit, you’ll be spoiled for choice on Oxford Street this season.
Office Christmas party outfits
Whether you have a dress code in your office or can wear more casual outfits, an office Christmas party is the perfect opportunity to express yourself sartorially. If you are into classics, a little black dress is the epitome of timeless chic. For something corporate with a twist, try a velvet suit with a silk shirt. We also love this long tube dress with gloves from Reserved, which give off serious Audrey Hepburn vibes.
Christmas dinner with friends
Christmas dinner with friends tends to be a slightly more casual affair since it often happens during the day, however that is no reason not to dress up. But rather than going all out with a sequin party dress, a good alternative is to opt for different occasion wear such as a showstopping jumpsuit, jewelled jeans with a classic white shirt or a sequin skirt with cashmere jumper.
A festive date night outfit
Christmas cocktails? Yes please! If you’re headed for a pre-Christmas date night, embrace fun and flirty styles such as mini dresses and sheer separates. We love this tartan mini dress from Primark, part of the Rita Ora collection, as well as this Tuxedo style mini dress from Reiss. You can pair The Frankie Shop’s sheer shirt with leather-look trousers or a velvet skirt, or try this sheer skirt with a baggy cardigan.
Christmas morning outfits
There’s nothing more magical than opening presents under the tree on Christmas morning, wearing your favourite cosy PJs and sipping on a mug of steaming hot chocolate or tea. With that in mind, a new pair of Christmas PJs will make the perfect gift for yourself or loved ones. Whether you want a straight-up festive style or a more classic set, we’ve got you covered.
Boxing Day outfits
After enjoying all the food on Christmas day, Boxing Day calls for something snug and comfortable to enjoy classic films – and more food – in. Of course, it would be rude not to keep the festive spirit going with a Christmas jumper or two, teamed with elasticated-waist trousers or knitted pants.
New Year’s Eve dresses
Calling all sequin lovers! November through to January is your time to literally shine, and we’ve found the perfect sparkling dresses for you, from this square neck mini dress from Next (available in several colours) to this black sequin maxi dress from Banana Republic at Gap. You can choose to go all out with metallic accessories, or tone the dresses down with more muted shoes and bags.
Party accessories
No festive outfit is complete without the perfect party shoes and bag. Play your cards right, and you’ll find yourself accessories that will serve you for every occasion beyond Christmas, from weddings to birthdays. Try choosing go-with-everything styles such as metallic sandals or classic slingback heels, and a beaded or velvet clutch bag.
