Christmas a time for mulled wine, awkward cracker jokes, and the annual delusion that if sung loud enough, our voices are all on a par with George Michael. But when it comes to dressing for Christmas gatherings, whether that be with friends or family, it’s time to drop the paper hats and tinsel scarves and embrace something a little more refined. After all, there’s nothing merry about looking like a misplaced Christmas decoration.
This year, textural tailoring is your secret weapon for festive flair that’s both stylish and celebratory. Corduroy suiting, with its irresistibly touchable charm, is perfect for those moments when you want to look polished without sacrificing comfort (because who can resist a second helping of Christmas pudding?). For grander occasions, velvet takes the reins - be it a rakish smoking jacket or a velvet Nehru jacket that’s equal parts minimalist and majestic. Both scream luxury, but in a very gentlemanly, understated way.
Pair these statement pieces with tonal accessories and a devil-may-care attitude, and you’ll be the best-dressed at any gathering - without a whiff of novelty knitwear in sight. This Christmas, it’s all about embracing the festivities with style, texture, and just enough panache to outshine the fairy lights.
