The festive period is usually a time for back-to-back parties, but one of the most important things about Christmas and the holiday season is spending time with friends and family. Whether you'll be celebrating at home or are planning on going out to a restaurant, the ensembles below will make you feel a little special, whatever you have planned.
People have very different ideas about what a Christmas Day outfit should look like. Some dress up in silks and sequins, while others have a strict "PJs only" policy. Whatever your stance on the December 25th dress code, one thing we can all agree on is that it never hurts to start planning ahead of time. We've found perfect outfits for you to recreate this year.
If you like to dress up, we've discovered sparkling pieces that are comfortable for a day of feasting but still deliver all of the glamour. If you like to have fun with your Christmas look, then put a stylish twist on the classic festive jumper or all-day pyjamas vibe. But if getting dressed isn't your thing, layer up the cashmere and cosy knits to do your very best impression of Cameron Diaz in The Holiday.

9 Chic Christmas Day Looks To Copy:
1. Fluffy Rollneck Jumper + Sequin Midi Skirt
Style Notes: If long walks on Christmas Day are not on the agenda for you, then make the most of being sofa-bound by putting on your most fabulous look, with a healthy dose of festive sparkle. A fluffy roll-neck will finish the look with ample cosy factor.

2. Alpine Sweater + Leggings + Loafers
Style Notes: Expecting snow this year? An alpine-inspired sweater is a perfect choice for the holiday period. Add leggings and chunky horse-bit loafers for preppy twist, plus a beanie and chunky socks for added warmth.

3. Classic Black Dress + Faux-Fur Scarf + Kitten Heels
Style Notes: Christmas is a great excuse for dressing up but staying indoors. For a romantic day at home, choose a classic black dress and simple kitten heels. Throw a faux-fur scarf over your shoulders for a bit of glamour and texture. Light some candles, put some records on and pop that special bottle of wine.

4. Faux-Fur Coat + Jeans + Chisel-Toe Boots
Style Notes: Hopping between family and friends' homes this coming Christmas day? A fuzzy coat will keep the chill at bay. Staple blue jeans and chisel-toe boots, plus a long wool scarf and leather gloves, tie the vibe together. A big handbag will be necessary for all of the holiday cards you have prepared.

Faux-fur coats are back and better than ever, this season.
5. Waisted Blazer + Tailored Trousers + Statement Earrings
Style Notes: There aren't many days when you can be dressed up all day long, but Christmas is always an exception. A waisted, collarless blazer is a great way to bring grown-up sophistication to your look. Black tailored trousers keep things monochromatic, with the addition of a velvet bag and drop earrings providing a subtle shine. Martini, optional.

6. Chore Jacket + Polo Top + Jeans
Style notes: You don't need a bucket load of sequins to feel festive. A barn jacket, striped polo top and blue jeans make for the perfect combo for those wanting a relaxed, sporty glamour. Subtle pops of red give this ensemble a seasonal spin.
Shop the look:
7. Cardigan + Sweatpants + Slippers
Style Notes: If you're all partied out and ready for a bit of calm, this one is for you. Reach for a cashmere cardigan, sweatpants and a trusty pair of slipper boots for all-day hygge vibes. Get that fire roaring and a hot chocolate in hand, and you're all set!
Shop the look:
8. Wool Jacket + White Jeans + Red Scarf
Style Notes: I do love a winter white jean, especially when teamed with charcoal grey and cherry red. A boiled wool jacket and cashmere scarf will keep you snug for a day at the pub with your nearest and dearest. Patent loafers give this a nice, grown-up polish.
Shop the look:
9. Wool Coat + Fair Isle Sweater + Satin Trousers
Style Notes: A black wool coat is a great investment piece for the winter months, and is a great piece to throw over your Christmas day look when doing the rounds. A fair isle knit and satin pull-on trousers will give all day comfort and suitable merry style.
