Take 5: Christmas Day Outfits

Christmas Day calls for some serious sartorial shimmer and shine. We love these looks.

Christmas calls for one of two wardrobe choices: full velvet and/ or sequins and shimmer – or pyjamas. There is no in between and nor should there be. If you’re erring towards the former, we’ve made an edit of the most sparkly and glam looks for the day we set aside for the mainlining of cranberry sauce, pigs in blankets and a procession of small sherries. Our mantra: do it in style or do in comfort. And if you can, do it in both.
