Are you in need of a stylish treat this Christmas?
If ever there was a year to avoid giving and receiving practical gifts, it’s this one. Hold off writing to Santa for an apron or saucepan as when times are tough a little luxury can provide some much needed escapism.
Cosy and warm should cover all we need outfit wise this Christmas but that doesn’t mean you have to compromise on style. Yes, I’m referring to the old slouch wear you have lived in for the past six months – move slowly away now. It has no place at the Christmas table.
So here are a few ideas that provide the feel good factor as well as adding a touch of glamour and luxury to your Christmas at home.
Ensure to forward this email to friends and family and you might be lucky enough to get one of these items as a present!
1. Stylish knits
‘Tis the season to up your knitwear game and this jumper does just that. The blend of black, ivory and pale blue creates a vibrant patterned that will revitalise any bottoms you wear with it. Great for Zoom calls and outdoor trips to meet friends.
Stine Goya Nalin Sweater at White Feather boutique – £240
2. Personalised sheepskin slippers
There’s nothing like a personalised gift to show you care and get into someone’s good books. Better still get someone to buy them for you to ensure you can still remember your name (or initials at least ) after one too many sherries!
Etsy personalised sheepskin slippers -£30
3. Feather trimmed crepe-de-chine luxury pyjamas
These are glamorous enough for a night out (remember those?) which is a good thing because at that price you’ll want to get your wear out of them. They are the ultimate ‘at home’ luxury item that will make you feel like swapping your mug of tea of sipping for a vodka martini.
Sleeper pyjamas at Net a Porter – £262
4. Blanket scarf
This fringed wool blanket scarf does exactly what it says on the tin! You get a blanket and scarf combined so it’s perfect for evenings outside. It has just arrived on The Outnet with a massive 45% discount so I don’t think it will be around for long. It ticks the warm, stylish and comfortable boxes with bells on and will be a wardrobe staple for years to come.
Rag and bone scarf from The Outnet – £154
5. Comfortable trousers
I’ve talked about the Zoom tops many a time but this is what you need below the waist to stay warm. These are smart yet comfortable and one of the few reasonably priced decent joggers left in stock. If you’re after a similar pair in cashmere COS have some beautiful styles available.
Weekday grey knitted wool joggers – £45
