20 fabulous Christmas Day outfit ideas
From super-stylish Christmas jumpers to sequin tops and dress-up trousers, feel festively fabulous from Christmas morning to night. Our Fashion Editor Nini has searched the high street for the most decadent (and totally practical) party outfits around. Sparkle, sequins and glitter needn't apply to your Christmas Day decorations alone!
1
Boden gold sequin jumper
Snap up an embellished Christmas jumper, £279 at Boden, which will instantly add glamour to casual trousers. Alternatively, for a super-modern party look, team it with a party skirt and heels.

Planet red and black party dress
A statement print is flattering and good at hiding any unwanted lumps and bumps. We love this red party dress, £129 at Planet.
3
Oasis sequin jacket
This little sequin jacket, only £45 at Oasis, is easy to whip on and off so you can slip between domestic goddess and party hostess with ease.
4
Very embellished top
Sometimes a little sparkle goes a long way (although the more the merrier we say!). This embellished top, £35 at Very is on trend too.
6
Boden Christmas jumper
Christmas jumpers are here to stay! Give a nod to the season in Boden's stylish bauble embellished jumper (£89).
7
Jigsaw red party dress
Red is the colour of the season! Why wear one shade when you can wear two. This two-toned party dress, £129 at Jigsaw, has a darker figure-flattering lower panel.

Farhi by Nicole Farhi at John Lewis cashmere cardigan
Cashmere is super-luxurious and feels amazing. This cashmere cardigan (Farhi by Nicole Farhi at John Lewis, £295) is the perfect gift to self.

Fearne Cotton at Very sequin trousers
Keep your eyes peeled for details such as heavy embellishment - we love these dressy trousers from Fearne Cotton at Very (£49) - which can turn the most casual item (i.e. a loose drawstring trouser) into something special for Christmas Day.
10
Hobbs knitted jumper
A stand-out Christmas jumper is guarenteed to get your guests attention. We love Hobbs' slouchy black and white jumper (£110) - perfect for snuggling up in with a good book!

Laura Ashley Fair Isle sweater
Keep toasty warm and pack a style punch with a chunky knit - the perfect pull-on for a cold Christmas Day morning! We're keeping this jumper, £55 at Laura Ashley, close at hand.
16
L.K. Bennett cream top
A loose fitting top covers a multitude of sins (mince pies, brandy butter and Christmas cake to name a few!). L.K. Bennett's rib-detail top (£145) is cream of the crop.
