Festivities are just around the corner, and we don’t know about you, but for us it’s crept up far too quickly this year. If focusing on finding the best Christmas gift ideas for everyone on your list has been your priority and you’ve not yet had a chance to plan your Christmas Day outfit, then we’re here to tick that one off for you.
Everyone addresses their Christmas Day dressing differently, meaning there’s no single straight-forward answer for Christmas outfits for women. Whether you’re after all-day comfort and cosiness, festive dressing-up or all-out occasionwear, we’ve put together a list of 5 outfit ideas for the big day.
What to wear on Christmas Day?
Christmas Morning
Who doesn’t love a women’s Christmas jumper? There’s no better way to start the day than in cute, cosy and Christmassy knitwear. A fairisle jumper, or sweaters with a touch of sparkle, are a great way to channel festive fashion without being a one-time wear. Despite being the perfect fit for a Christmas jumper, our Kyla Sparkle Long Sleeve Jumper can also be worn throughout the rest of the colder season too. If you’re looking for the best of both worlds, our Mavis Argyle Tinsel Long Sleeve Cardigan combines its argyle pattern with sparkle, ideal as a festive knit. Wear with comfortable trousers, such as our Wren Wide Leg Trousers, for a casual Christmas outfit, or elevate with a midi skirt to take you from unwrapping the stocking fillers come morning to an evening of cheeseboards and charades.
Christmas Dinner
Wondering what to wear for a Christmas family dinner? We might just have the answer. This winter’s trending colours, burgundy and green, provide ample opportunities to put together the perfect Christmas dinner outfit. The jewel tone and romantic trims of our Hannielie Ruffle Neck Long Sleeve Shirt balance playful sophistication, ideal for festive family gatherings. On the opposite side of the colour spectrum, our Harrie Tailored Trousers come in a deep burgundy tone which oozes class, and a seasonal touch to formal tailoring – we might also mention, that although its belt loops are practical – on this occasion we’d steer clear of the challenge of buckling a belt after one too many pigs in blankets! A satin top is also a style ready for tucking into the sought-after meal of the season (note: year), and our Irina Satin Shirt and matching trousers are a match made in satin Christmas outfits heaven.
Christmas Afternoon
In our household, it’s tradition to recover from the dinner on the sofa with a movie marathon. If you follow a similar yearly routine, we know you’ll be looking for a women’s Christmas Day outfit to relax in, whilst still looking your best. A knitted dress understands the assignment, and we love a bright colourway - such as the classic cream of our Myla Babysoft Mini Dress - for keeping spirits up amidst endless scrolling to pick out films everyone can agree on watching/falling asleep to. If you’re wanting to maintain dressed-up styling, we have knitted Christmas dresses for achieving this too. Our Melody Pleated Mix Mini Dress is one, partnering its timeless LBD silhouette with chic contrasting details including a self-tie back. If your Christmas Day afternoon involves playing games with friends or family, then this little black dress deserves a bonus point.
Christmas Evening
No December wardrobe is complete without sequins, and we love a shimmering evening ensemble. From layering up the diamante jewellery, a glittering dress or a twinkling matching set, there are endless ways to incorporate a sparkle into a women’s Christmas Day outfit. Our Elodie Sequin Mini Skirt catches the light with luxe gold embellishment, perfect for adding a touch of glamour to the evening game of charades, clinking topped up glasses, or dancing around the living room to nostalgic favourites on TOTP. If you’re after more of a one-piece wonder, then our Carissa Lurex Jacquard Sequin Mini Dress has you covered with for a more subtle, yet equally stylish, sequin Christmas outfit.
Christmas After-Hours
If your living-room disco has you wanting to dance the night away, or you’re wanting to dress up for Christmas Day celebrations with friends, then you can never go wrong with a Christmas dress. The 25th is an occasion at every hour, and if you’re wanting to dress to impress from dusk till dawn, then look no further than a festive frock. A sequin dress is a no brainer for this time of year, but if you’re all sparkled out, there are plenty of other Christmas party dresses ready to take the spotlight. Our Astrida 3D Floral Mini Dress will make your entrance memorable, boldly brought to life with elegant 3D florals, not to mention that a red Christmas outfit will always go down a treat. Another sure-fire hit is a velvet Christmas dress, which is why our Viola Velvet Long Sleeve Bodycon Mini Dress is a firm favourite – the only difficult decision here is deciding which colourway to don for the occasion. Wear with a Christmas cardigan or faux fur coat if you’re heading out, and to all, we wish you a good Christmas Day (and night!).
No matter what you choose to wear as your 2024 Christmas Day outfit, we at Team FC hope you have the best time celebrating!
