Christmas Lunch is a tough one for both men and women - it's Xmas so there has to be some sort of 'dressing up', however it's also the time for eating and enjoying family and this means there has to be a good measure of comfort. For some of us, the days tend to be long and involve switching from one event to another.
I'm not differentiating between outfits for those eating in and those eating out, as I said, since a lot of people hop to more than one event, chances are that they'll need an outfit good for both situations..
- Don't Wear any Tight Dresses
For one thing, it's really not the right occasion for such an outfit, for another, you will feel restricted especially if there are any kids in your family you might want to play with.
Even if you're only staying in, christmas day is a chance to get a bit dolled up and look your best, you'll be happy when you see the photos.
- Don't Wear Cheesy Xmas Sweaters
Whilst I love Christmas Sweaters, I tend to reserve them for boxing day / secret santa girl parties at home or other casual xmas-related events. If you really want to wear a Christmas Sweater on Xmas day - at least don't wear one that looks like it was bought in a dollar store and team it with something extra chic like a pretty, glitzy skirt or brocade trousers.
- Don't Put Cleavage On Show
This is not the day to promote boob 'ogling'
What To Wear
Below are a couple of things I picked out, in general terms, I like the idea of a long sleeved dress with black tights and ankle boots, a smart sweater worn over nice black woollen trousers or a very nice pair of jeans (in a dark wash). I also like the idea of wearing red but I also love monochrome and patterns.
I love ankle boots with thick heels - I think they're the best thing since sliced bread, they're sleek, they look polished and they're COMFORTABLE.
