As the festive season gathers momentum and invitations begin to mount, attention naturally turns to what to wear for dinners, celebrations and winter occasions. Velvet takes centre stage, rich tones feel instantly uplifting, and the pleasure of dressing up returns with full force. No one understands this better than the people who guide our customers every day, so we asked three members of our team to select the garments and accessories they are most excited about this Christmas.
From expressive menswear to distinctive waistcoats and beautifully made womenswear, their selections highlight the pieces that come into their own during the festive period. Whether your celebrations involve black tie dinners, hosting at home or simply wanting to feel well dressed for winter occasions, these are the styles our team believe work especially well at this time of year.

“I always find myself leaning into velvet at this time of year. The Midnight Nene Dinner Jacket is a favourite because the crushed velvet has such presence without ever feeling over the top. I also love the Fawn Artist Jacket and the Olive Newport Jacket for their versatility, ideal for daytime gatherings or evening events. Dark green remains one of the smartest winter colours, which is why the Bottle Green Shawl Lapel Dinner Jacket is such a strong choice. The Burgundy Velvet Bees Waistcoat and our dusky pink frill shirt both add a little twist, and for accessories, I keep returning to the Prussian Turnworth Tie and a larger silk bow tie to round off the look.”
