CHRISTMAS DAY OUTFIT IDEAS: GLAM, CASUAL, COSY, SORTED!
Spending all day by the tree in your Christmas pyjamas? Valid! Dressing to the nines for Christmas lunch? Valid! Manoeuvring the middle ground in chic loungewear sets? Also valid! The best Christmas Day outfit for you depends on your personal holiday traditions, memories and favourite festive settings. We love individuality, so here’s our pick of the best festive ‘fits for every festive dress code.
CHRISTMAS OUTFIT IDEAS: HOLIDAY GLAM
Shopping festive nightwear can be a clever way to find the perfect glam Christmas Day outfit. Satin separates or chemises will be your festive best friend, bringing holiday shine to styles you can dress up for Christmas or dress down for bedtime.
Take the Diamante satin slip dress (in black or red). Its asymmetric hem, thigh-high split, diamante-adorned straps and adjustable cross-back styling elevate the traditional chemise into evening wear territory - all in luxurious liquid satin that feels like a perfectly timed present to, well, you!
Even a premium luxury pyjama set can pass as a sophisticated Christmas Day outfit, especially when you get creative with satin separates like the Star satin pyjama set. Wear the trousers - in all their high-shine glory - with a cami, blazer and layered necklaces. No one will ever guess your ‘fit was inspired by your pyjama drawer (nor that you’ve found the perfect way to justify an elasticated waistband at Christmas lunch!).
We also love the shorter sister set: the Star satin cami short pyjama set. For these separates, we recommend reserving the shorts for bedtime and letting the textured satin tie-up cami steal the show in your Christmas day outfit.
Pair with your favourite jeans, trousers or leggings and high-heels, but be sure to keep a pair of slippers like the Ridge sole cross band slider slippers at hand to effortlessly transition into your matching pyjamas and cosy accessories come nighttime!
We just can’t get enough of satin co-ords for a glam look. Our flattering Heart satin bralette sits beautifully under the matching Heart satin revere shirt (worn open or partially buttoned) and paired with the Heart satin trousers. Mix up this set by swapping in black leggings. Alternatively, save the shirt for your shut-eye and sub in a sheer jumper to showcase your festive co-ords in a subtler way still.
CASUAL CHRISTMAS DAY OUTFIT IDEAS
If your magical Christmas 8-ball suggests it’s ‘likely’ you’ll get out of pyjamas, but ‘unlikely’ you’ll walk the red carpet, then casual chic is an excellent Xmas day outfit vibe to cover all bases.
You could bring a touch of Hollywood red home with the Heart embroidered knitted cardigan. We love the heart-shaped buttons, tonal heart embroidery, subtle balloon sleeves and gorgeous matching combinations courtesy of the Heart embroidered knitted bralette and Heart embroidered knitted shorts.
If starlets could walk the red carpet in athleisure, they’d definitely find their stride in a pair of perfectly coordinating red Velvet fleece socks. Best turn on Love Actually and channel your own starlet power on the sofa!
If there’s any time for tradition, it’s the holidays. And if there’s anything more traditional than knitwear, it’s Fairisle knitwear. This scaled-back Fairisle pearl knitted jumper has a gorgeous red-on-pink motif with a femininely framed crew neck and offset cable knit detailing along the tummy, back and (generously oversized) sleeves. Pretty pearl accessories lend this jumper a special occasion feel, with the benefit of all-day comfort that’s amplified when paired with the Fairisle knitted shorts. We love it so much, we made it again in mint green with a white fairisle print to complete the Christmas Day pastels palette.
When it’s cold outside, staying put indoors feels like a treat in itself in the Boux lounge borg set. The super soft hoodie and joggers, with elasticated ankle cuffs, wrist cuffs and waistband for a slouchy yet structured look, channels apres-ski chic that’s just as appropriate for the downstairs sprint to the tree on Christmas morning.
Another Christmas morning outfit that’ll transport you straight to whiter landscapes, the Fluffy penguin short pyjama set has a cute character hood that begs to feature in family selfies.
For a full-length set that has plenty of potential for layering up and down, opt for the Leila ribbed v-front flared trousers plus Leila ribbed lace up back top. From the pretty frill hem in the front to the open lace-up back, this one will have you spinning 360s around the tree to showcase your festive ‘fit.
If you prefer brighter shades at Christmas, you’ll fall for these Raw seam sweat joggers in teal. We love the wide elasticated waist, oversized fit with elasticated hems and high-waist finish that complements a bralette like the Contour seamless keyhole bralette. Pair it with a partially buttoned shirt for holiday chic comfort that looks unplanned yet picture-perfect.
PYJAMAS STILL MAKE THE PERFECT CHRISTMAS DAY OUTFIT
Spending Christmas with your loved ones means feeling part of something that’s uniquely yours; a safe space to be yourself. And there’s no better way to do that than wake up and stay exactly as you are. Cue Christmas pyjamas you’ll live in from Christmas Eve through to the final clink of (mulled) wine glasses on Christmas night.
Among our cosiest and most Christmassy pyjamas - confirmed in name itself - are the Christmas fleece pyjamas in a bag. There’s even Kids fleece Christmas pyjamas in a bag so you can match with your favourite minis. Featuring candy canes, presents and snowflakes in soft fleece, this set is as jolly as Saint Nick himself. All the better for celebrating the big guy’s annual visit!
If you can’t quite justify pyjamas all day, but love the look and the feeling of matching with your daughter, then the Fairisle hooded onesie for you and coordinating Kids fairisle twosie pyjama set is the perfect solution.
We also love converting our Fairisle wrap top and leggings pyjama set into a casual Christmas day outfit. The smart v-neck wrap top and fitted silhouette from top to bottom gives this pairing a distinctly transitional look that’ll see you from Christmas morning to Christmas lunch.
For a playful pair of pyjamas perfect for Christmas morning, try the Good all year cotton short pyjama set. You’ll find out if Santa agrees with your verdict when you open your presents, but you can double down on extra warmth and a gift of personal recognition with this made-for-Christmas Fluffy chevron midi dressing gown.
Adding a touch of luxury to your cosy Christmas plans, the Foil star and moon velour twosie is a beautiful meeting of sleepwear and holiday wear. The sparkly design captures the magic of Christmas, while the plush fabric is the metaphorical warm hug we all hope to take with us from the holidays.
Similarly, the Fluffy heart short pyjama set brings instant comfort while also giving pyjamas a special occasion edge. Wear the top as a jumper with your go-to jeans, or pair the complete set with the complementary Fluffy heart trim midi dressing gown. Wear the heart-embossed hood up for the cutest holiday snaps!
