This Christmas, style is not serenading us with a rendition of ‘Silent Night Holy Night’, it’s bursting forth with an exuberant ‘Joy to the World’. Brave and Bold are the buzz words for your shopping list and I’ve paved the way to help you find your perfect Christmas outfits with my Wimbledon Centre Court selections.
It’s Jingle Bells All the Way, so here are my top 7 festive fashion finds.
H&M certainly know how to do Christmas. The racks are rammed full of sumptuous selections, it’s totally like being a kid in a sweet shop (literally, look at the colour combinations…) Go ravishing red, all over if you must (unless you’re unsure of the Mother Christmas connotation) or break up the look with satin pattern blouses. My top tip is most definitely a wide pair of red statement trousers… utterly versatile and these H&M ones are pull on, yes, PULL ON, so they look fabulous AND they’re easy to wear with an elasticated waist. If you’ve been good, Father Christmas may bring you the latest fluffy coat too…
H&M satin blouse, £19.99
H&M red pull on trousers, £17.99
H&M red faux fur short coat, £49.99
River Island has upped their game monopolising the popping pink candy dress codes. Statement is an understatement, thank goodness I had a pair of sunglasses to hand to shield my eyes from the colour splash that met me through the door.
Pair this bright pink coat with even more pink, you can be matchy-matchy, or choose varying shades of pink. Comfort is key at Christmas (yes, we all love a mince pie or three) so buy a decent pair of stretch leggings like these ruffle bottom ones, you can’t go wrong and they’ll forgive that extra helping of chocolate log. Add the final touches with glitter court shoes and a spacious cross-body bag.
River Island Bright Pink Textured Coat, £85
River Island Black Frill leggings, £26
River Island Black & Gold Bag, £32
If you’re partial to a spot of festive overindulgence, then Phase Eight has the answer – with a brilliant choice of comfortable dresses that are flattering yet dramatic for your ‘Twinkling Star’ moment.
Glimmer, shimmer and shine – my top pick in Phase Eight is their Cold Shoulder shimmer dress.
Phase Eight Liane Shimmer Cold Shoulder dress, £95
This Christmas, may your days be merry and bright and if the weather outside is frightful, at least let your style be delightful. And don’t forget, fashion is not just for Christmas, it’s for life.
