5 tips to follow for the perfect Christmas look
Discover how to get a trendy and unconventional Christmas looks
The Christmas look is no longer a problem, especially now that fashion has brought attention to the classic elegance and a certain sense of glamor made of sparkling elements. You don’t necessarily have to wear a sweater that carries Santa’s reindeer (like Bridget Jones's Diary) or a furry edged dress to remember Santa Claus (see Mean girls) There are many ways to face the dinners and lunches related to the holidays of the year without slipping into kitsch, the one much analyzed by Gillo Dorfles in his essays on the theme. Of course, an extravagant and a little folk touch is necessary, but perfection is achieved with the right balance. Let’s find out together how.
Not only red for Christmas
We can find many shades of color that allow you to best express your personality even on Christmas Day. Just think of the offer of decorations ranging from red to pink, from green to black, through all the metallic hues. To surprise your guests this year, we suggest you choose a Christmas look in matching with the furniture. It will be a perfect picture, just like in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.
White Christmas
If you are looking for an extremely elegant outfit, we suggest you focus on the shades of white, from the optical to the sweetest grayscales of cream. Kind of like Keira Knightley in Love Actually.
The cozy Xmas
Among friends or few relatives, a generous dose of softness is required: cashmere suits, wraparound capes but also tricot sweaters that embrace the silhouette, all garments to be worn simply with a pair of jeans. The image is that of Meg Ryan in When Harry Met Sally.
What shoes to wear?
The classic is always a good idea, because it guarantees the comfort of the heel not too high (never exceed 8 centimeters in height). The occasion is also suitable to try the slightly extreme trends, such as matching tights with a pair of high sandals. But in doubt do the same as Sarah Jessica Parker in The family stone: décolleté and sartorial suit, so you won’t go wrong.
Overcoat
Finally, the outerwear choice to wear over velvet dresses, palazzo trousers and tartan miniskirts: for the Christmas look is recommended the use of elegant and long tailored coats. The teddy coat is always a good solution, especially if you want an ironic touch, while the duvet is suitable for a December 25 in the mountains.
