The holiday season is a time for celebration, and it is understandably a time when we all want to look our best. There’s so much to do at Christmas, though, which means our appearance often goes on the back burner. That shouldn’t be the case, as we all deserve to look fabulous if we want to, so I’ve put together the complete guide to Christmas outfit ideas to make sure you’re as well decked out as your house this year!

What are the Best Christmas Outfit Ideas for Women?

If you’re wondering what to wear this Christmas, fear not. There are some lovely festive looks that are perfect for Christmas Day or for any Christmas parties or family gatherings. From glamorous to more casual looks, there is a festive fashion that suits all styles to make you feel fabulous. Here are some Christmas day outfit ideas for women that will get you in the Christmas spirit.

The Christmas Red Dress

A Christmas Red Dress is the perfect festive wear for Christmas day. I love this super stylish shirt dress from Palava. It features a pretty mandarin collar that can be worn up or turned down, three-quarter length sleeves, a belted waist, deep pockets, and a full skirt with a Christmas Tree design. The Cynthia Christmas red dress creates a classic silhouette that looks flattering on a variety of figures thanks to its nipped-in waist. The dress is ethically made in Palava’s London factory and is made of 100% Organic Cotton. The dress has some impressive eco-credentials made from natural, biodegradable fibres using Oeko-Tex certified dyes and with plastic-free packaging. It’s also machine washable.

Layered Necklaces

Jewellery can make an outfit. Whether it’s complimenting a glamorous look or setting off a more understated casual style, having the right jewellery will make you look and feel amazing.

Christmas is the time to enjoy wearing gorgeous jewellery and you can really make a statement with beautifully layered necklaces.In fact I love layering my necklaces and wearing necklaces with meaning.

For Christmas this year, I will be wearing Dasiy’s Isla Mother Of Pearl Necklace 18Ct Gold Plate with either the Amazonite Pendant Necklace 18ct Gold Plate or the Rhodochrosite Pendant Necklace 18ct Gold Plate. Amazonite is said to soothe the senses and calm the soul, bringing balance, good fortune and peace to the wearer. Rhodochrosite vibrant pink stone is thought to inspire positivity and enhance the inner self.

Daisy London is a much-loved British jewellery brand who has a wonderful collection of chic classics and new staples, including vintage-inspired styles, responsibly sourced and ethically handcrafted in 100% recycled sterling silver and the highest 18ct gold plate. Their jewellery also makes a great gift for Christmas if you’re struggling with ideas.

Little Black Dress

The little black dress is the ideal dress for any holiday parties, or a friend’s cocktail party. In fact, if you find the perfect black dress, you can get it out every festive season. The below velvet dress has a pleated design in the stomach which is very flattering as can cover belly fat whilst highlighting your curves. This elegant party dress features a long sleeve and is very comfortable to wear with soft, breathable and stretchy material.

Knitted Red Dress

Red dresses are very popular during Christmas. They bring holiday cheer and are a nod towards the Big Man himself, Father Christmas. An alternative to the traditional red dress is a red sweater dress. These look stylish and are nice and warm for Christmas.

How to wear Skinny Jeans at Christmas

Skinny Jeans are the perfect outfit for Christmas Eve. They are comfortable and practical when rushing about getting everything ready for the big day but yet they are look great for any expected or unexpected visitors! If you’re more of a jeans girl than a dress girl and would prefer a more casual outfit, that’s fine. If you pair your jeans with knee boots or ankle boots, it’s an easy way to dress up jeans to make a fabulous Christmas outfit. Finally finish the outfit off with a sequin or sparkling top to dazzle, a black turtleneck for style or your favourite chunky sweater.

If you’re looking for some inspiration, the below skinny jeans get brilliant reviews on Amazon, and you now have a 7-day-try-on period where you don’t have to pay anything until you decide whether to keep or send back. I love black jeans as they are so flattering!

They go perfectly with these suede knee-high boots. The black boots are affordable and add a bit of style to your Christmas day outfit.

UGG Boots

If you’re going to be on your feet for most the day running after the kids and making Christmas dinner, then UGG boots or slippers are the ideal footwear. Not only are they really soft and comfortable, they also have heel arch support.

I love my pink UGG boots which I was kindly gifted from Accent Clothing. They look stylish and are super comfy too.

The Christmas Jumper. Ok or not ok?

The Christmas jumper is a staple of the festive season. The first ever Christmas jumper was created in Scotland by John Fisher in 1846 and was made out of wool. In the past, festive jumpers were only typically worn by children in school and at home during Christmas time. However, now they are also being worn by adults too, including me! Is it ok to wear them though as a fully grown adult? I would say yes. It’s all part of the fun of the Christmas season and paired with jeans or a red skirt, the Christmas jumper should be one of your festive outfits. Here are some of my favourites!

Personalised Christmas jumper

If you want to stand out, why not personalise your Christmas jumper. You can also add a bit of humour too. I love the ‘On The Piste’ Christmas jumper from Oakdene Designs. It’s the perfect gift for a friend that loves a cheeky drink or two at Christmas time.

Cute Christmas Jumper

How gorgeous is this super cute Christmas sweater, the Organic Cotton ‘Feline Christmassy’ Christmas Jumper?! Made from organic ring spun combed cotton (85%), and recycled polyester (15%), making it not just good for the planet but also super soft.

Christmas Pyjamas

Christmas just doesn’t feel like Christmas without the Christmas pyjamas! The great thing about Christmas PJs is that they’re just so comfy!! The ideal attire for a family day snuggling up on the sofa watching Christmas movies. So if your Christmas plans include some cosy nights in, then get some cosy PJs, perfect for Christmas morning too! Christmas pyjamas are also the perfect opportunity to match with other family members. Super cute for Christmas.

Christmas Outfit Ideas for Babies

Firstly, is it ok to dress your baby up for Christmas? This is a personal choice of course but in my humble opinion, yes, absolutely! You will be able to get those Christmas baby pictures out for years to come and look back on how adorable they were in their cute Christmas outfits! If you’re looking for some Christmas baby outfit inspo check these cute rompers out.

My favourite Christmas jumper was from charity and I also got a Grace Karin dress from a charity shop for the office Christmas party too.
