What to wear: festive edition

What to wear this festive season, whatever your plans may be.

However you’re spending Christmas this year, the holiday season is always an exciting time to experiment with outfitting. You don’t have to stray far from your daily get-up, though – just a few key pieces in your wardrobe can really up your festive game. From warm cashmere jumpers to comfortable chinos, here are our picks for all the important days in the Christmas calendar.

Christmas Eve

The night before Christmas is often spent cosied up in front of the TV or wrapping last minute gifts, but if you do decide to have company over or pop out for a few, you may as well look great.

Layering is the best way to go here – start with a merino mock neck as a base layer, then add a light jacket such as the boucle bomber to lock that warmth in. A pair of cotton-rich black chinos will keep you cosy in a drafty pub, alongside a smart pair of chunky loafers, crafted from smooth leather. Top everything off with a thick winter coat to wrap it all up.

Christmas Day

The biggest day of the festive calendar is definitely a time to look the part, but you also need to be comfortable. After all, most of your time will probably be spent at the dining table and opening gifts on the sofa, which means that easy layering is the right way to go.

Start off with a simple tee, cotton-rich for breathability and in a slightly more relaxed fit. Then, layer with a chunky knit such as the ecru cable jumper for a bit of texture - the rollneck feels festive and cosy, but can easily be removed if you get too warm. As for your bottom half, go for a trouser with an adjustable waist like our belted flannel trousers, tailored to your body but with a bit of breathing room for those extra mince pies.

Boxing Day

Boxing Day is a time for leftovers and movie marathons, but you're also likely to be seeing extended family too.

A denim shirt, crafted from 100% cotton, will make you feel put together but is still relaxed enough for a day at the pub. A pair of flannel trousers are a warmer version of a smart tailored trouser, with a little extra room in the thigh for movement. Top it off with a comfy pair of classic white trainers and you’ve got an outfit that’s all about looking and feeling good, whatever you’ve got going on.

New Year's Day

Though the desire to stay on the sofa and eat your weight in leftovers will be strong, if you do decide to leave the house on New Year's Day it's worth wearing something that will help you feel good.

A pure cashmere jumper has a soft handfeel and will keep the warmth in while regulating your temperature, alongside being the perfect neutral base for your outfit. Combine that with a pair of moleskin trousers to maintain the smart casual aesthetic, and add a pair of suede chunky shoes to match the soft texture of the moleskin. Finish with a tweed jacket as a layer between you and your winter coat, adding a bit of textural difference and a tailored shoulder to your look.
