Christmas + Seasonal · December 16, 2024

Outfits for Christmas for 3 different occasions!

I’m not gonna lie, my Christmas outfit for the big day usually consists of tartan pyjamas and thick socks! Our tiny family kicks back by watching movies, playing cards and nibbling on cheese and chocolate. In December, however, I love a little Christmas gathering, a supper at the pub and drinks with friends and neighbours.

I’m not a heels girl, not really a dress or skirt girl either, but I do love to dress up! I love an investment jacket or coat, gold jewellery and an amazing smelling perfume. Here are some cosy Christmas outfits you can re-create for this time of the year!


casual christmas outfit for drinks out!

Christmas Outfit

  1. A pure cashmere round-necked cardigan
  2. This season’s in colour, how nice does this Berry Collarless Leather Biker Jacket look with gold accessories?
  3. Darted Barrel-leg Jeans in Irmo Wash
  4. Gorgeous elasticated Gold Chain Belt
  5. Similar Gold Braided Ballet Pumps
  6. Leather Woven Chain Bag in cream (new design). This one which is slightly smaller.
  7. Hypnotic Vanilla Bloom Scent
  8. Travis Bracelet in Gold
  9. Cami Top with Lace in Ivory
  10. Gel Nail Polish in colour Bashful aka the perfect browny-red and super glossy.

Check out our ShopMy for more lovely options!


cosy christmas outfit for christmas day walk + chill!

This is the cosiest outfit of the three. I am the Mum who makes her now grown-up children go for a walk on Christmas Day and this tone-on-tone Christmas outfit makes you feel super put-together! Add a puffer vest or even a puffer coat depending on the temperature, then look fabulous lounging on the sofa in your cosy co-ord!

christmas outfit

  1. Beige Super Soft Knitted Trousers
  2. Super Soft Knitted Hoodie (matching!)
  3. Vivienne Westwood Gold Pendant Necklace
  4. Cosy long line Cardigan/Coat
  5. ‘Coastal Walks’ perfume
  6. A blingy Gold Watch because you’ll want to keep your eye on Christmas lunch timings!
  7. Layer up with a White Ribbed Vest
  8. A lovely soft Classic Denim Shirt in Blue. Also available in White which would also look great!
  9. The one show is sold out, but this Taupe Suede Tote is similar and gorgeous!
  10. Similar light beige trainers

christmas outfit for supper with friends!

I love a glamorous look but let’s make it warm and cosy too! I wear trainers for every occasion and love these in leopard print.

For a fabulous alternative, try these Black Evening Ballet Flats and swap the lounge pants for these Wide-leg Black Jeans!

Christmas outfit

  1. I love the simple shape of these Black Lounge Pants with a neat slightly dropped and less bulky waist.
  2. Lace-trimmed Cami Top in Black
  3. Gorgeous Ivory Coat
  4. Supersoft Black Cardigan which looks cosy but elevated.
  5. Layer your gold necklaces! I like to wear 2 or 3 of varying length. Pearly Milo Necklace (low stock) and Irma Charm Necklace
  6. This perfect Oskan Hobo Soft Suede Bag gives this Christmas outfit the luxury look (with matching price tag)! Here’s a slightly less eye-popping option!
  7. Dark Beige Leopard Trainers
  8. A lovely perfume for evenings! Bal D’Afrique by Byredo

Check out our ShopMy for more lovely options for this look!
