Today it’s Christmas Eve and tradition has it, for almost everyone, to spend this day and evening with the loved ones, over dinner, drinks and Christmas day preparations. By now you either have a clue on what you’ll wear tonight & tomorrow (if you’re visiting) or you don’t give a shit. ;)
If, like myself, you’re on a few ‘guest-lists’ this holiday season… (my posh invite being that of my parents and a few friends) well you got 2 options, both depending on (1) where you’re off to, and (2) your style.
Let’s just assume not everyone is having a Kardashian Christmas. Read: posh, designer outfits, sexy, opulent. Actually great if you can afford it and you’re a celeb. So, assuming we’re all incredibly entertaining guests on our parents lists, and crazy family reunions, when dressing up for these things I would presume it’s better to play it safe. There’s always that opinionated auntie or grandma with a penchant for proper fashion, so… leave your edgy-sexy-weird attire home, and go for something a bit more classy with just a touch of your personal style.
Besides, it’s all about looking put together but comfortable. If there is no dress code, I think a cute dress, or a nice blouse with a skirt or classic trousers, or even jeans will do. Nice makeup, cute nails, accessories (maybe a statement necklace or earrings) will give you a bit of jazz.
If, however the gathering is a bit more pretentious, you might want to consider a dress & heels with a blazer on top, or a fur vest. Even something with sequins may work. Or even an over-the-top outfit if you keep your hair & makeup simple. When you’re visiting family… it’s all about balance.
For example a warm comfy sweater goes great with a more posh skirt and heels. A statement necklace on top, hair pulled back in a messy nonchalant bun will give you that comfy, can’t-be-bothered-but-look-great vibe.
