Dress for the Christmas days
It is the most wonderful time of the year, when the family gathers and the coziness spreads. In the midst of all the Christmas cheer, there is also the Christmas stress with gift shopping, meetings with friends, and finishing work deadlines, which makes time fly by really quickly. Despite all the madness, there is definitely one thing to look forward to when the holiday hits: Christmas parties. They come in all shapes and sizes, from large Christmas lunches at work to small family get-togethers, Christmas Eve, and every variation in between.
One thing is for sure: The Christmas season is crème de la crème when it comes to clothing options. For all the festivities in your calendar, you need to know how to dress your best. We're sure you've picked out your cozy outfit for the Christmas days, but if you need to switch to a less homey look, it can be hard to figure out exactly what to wear. Here comes the perfect Christmas guide:
The Elegant Christmas
For a formal look, you can wear a full suit to get the perfect formal style. It's one of the many occasions throughout the year where you have the opportunity to wear a suit. The suit should, of course, be suited for the holiday. We’re looking for a good combination of warm colors and a coarser material that is appropriate for the winter cold. For example, blue, green, shades of gray, etc., work really well together. A rule of thumb to follow is that darker shades work best for the "more" formal occasions, while lighter shades are better for the "less" formal ones. You can never go wrong with a nice suit. In the picture, you’ll see our take on the perfect "Christmas suit".
The Relaxed Christmas
It's Christmas, and you may want a more comfortable outfit for the Christmas party or formal event you've been invited to. To keep your look classic and neat, you can combine a pair of jeans with a chunky knit sweater. The chunky knit gives a cozy look that's perfect for most Christmas parties.
The Stylish Blend of Formal and Relaxed Christmas
Here, you're looking for an outfit that can be worn both to the Christmas lunch at work and to Christmas Eve with the family. A sure winner is a blazer, which can be worn over either a shirt or a sweater, paired with a nice pair of chinos. Matched with a simple watch and some sleek shoes, you have a winning Christmas outfit. An alternative to this could be a so-called "overshirt", which you wear over your shirt — a great alternative to a blazer for more formal occasions.
And last but not least, set the stress aside and enjoy the holiday season with family and friends. Merry Christmas from all of us at Kaufmann.
