Christmas, the birth of Christ is the season of joy. A festival celebrated all over the world as an expression of God’s love for man and the birth of Christ on Earth, God’s son, it is celebrated every year on 25th December. It is one of the most important holidays for both Christians and Non-Christians, and is celebrated with good cheer. Every Christmas, people dress up and give gifts to their loved and cherished ones in order to spread happiness. It is also believed that Christmas is when Santa Claus comes and climbs down chimneys to reward children for being nice.
The way that people celebrate Christmas differs from culture to culture and country to country, but the core fundamentals are same around the world. On Christmas Day, people sing carols, dress up and visit their loved ones, give gifts, watch Christmas movies, do charitable acts, decorate Christmas trees and generally try to get in the spirit of the festival and emulate the spirit of Christ. Since most of these Christmas rituals are non-denominational (not overtly religious acts), they are easy to celebrate for atheistic and agnostic people as well as people of different faiths.
What better way is there to celebrate Christ’s birthday than dressing up? Good fashion choices aren’t limited to your budget either, and don’t have to hurt your pocket. With that being said, here are the top fashion choices for a stylishly fashionable Christmas this year for you and your loved ones.
A Classy, Casual Outfit
This outfit is timeless and effortlessly chic. You can pair a pair of jeans with a t-shirt and a white fleece jacket and minimal jewelry. A red beanie for the spirit of Christmas can complete the look and for women, a handbag that contrasts with the white jacket, such as a cream or eggshell coloured handbag would go well.
Out with your Friends
While going out with friends, you’d prefer to look good and stylish, but at the same time be comfortable enough to feel like you can be yourself. A red patterned plaid shirt/dress can do wonders for the classic knitted Christmas look, while a red trench coat can complete the look. A shiny watch or a flashy pearl necklace can do wonders as the exactly perfect accessory for you to complete the look with a festive flair.
Shopping Date with your Partner
An easy, comfortable outfit is the best choice for a shopping date. After all, why not use Christmas as an excuse to get all the outfits you wanted but didn’t want to pay for? Try to showcase festive cheer by wearing a Christmas themed pullover/sweater. A dress with Christmas themed colours works well too. Accessories are a must, and nothing pops like a pearl on the Christmas patterning. Finally, round off the outfit with suede knee-high boots.
Office Lunch
Going to an office lunch requires you to be your very best self. This means you need to project a confident, cultured, well dressed and professional self of yourself. A cashmere sweater is a great choice, with the deep undertones of a red cashmere sweater contrasting well with white pants or culottes. Choose minimal accessories because you don’t want to look too flashy at an office party, but pearl earrings would look great on this outfit.
Day out with College Friends
Meeting friends from your college days can be an extremely nostalgic moment, bringing up memories of the times you spent together and the festivals, Christmas amongst them, that you celebrated together. For an occasion such as this, it makes sense to wear knitted sweaters and pleated skirts or trousers to complete the family vibe that this gathering is sure to give you. Wearing a memento of the times you spent together could be a great idea too.
Dinner Date
A dinner date is an occasion to dress up for, doubly so when its Christmas. Going monochrome is a good choice to make (red can be a good choice, considering the festival). You can choose boots, handbag and beanie that contrast with the dress in order to create a contrasting colour effect. Finally, a minimalist pearl necklace paired with beautiful, dainty pearl earrings would absolutely round the look out, making you look chic while giving an old world feel.
