Christmas has well and truly arrived, and it’s time to start planning your festive wardrobe.

Whether you're attending a glitzy office party, gathering with family for a cosy dinner, or ringing in the New Year in style, you’ll want to look your best while sipping mulled wine and snacking on mince pies.

Chic & Sleek

River Island is a go-to for bold, on-trend pieces, and this Christmas is no different. If you're after something sophisticated with a touch of festive luxury, their velvet suit is a winner. Available in rich red, green and statement black, you can buy the trousers, waistcoat and jacket together or separately. Pair with some strappy heels and a statement clutch, and you’ll be ready to hit the town.

Sharp & Suave

Velvet is on trend this Christmas and looks super smart on men, too – Moss Bros has nailed it with their selection of rich navy, forest green, and burgundy options. We especially love this sharp lime green velvet jacket (£149). Pair it with a crisp white shirt, slim-fit black trousers and sleek dress shoes, and you’ll be the best dressed man in the room.

Their floral midi dresses with metallic threads are perfect for those who want to stand out without overdoing it, and their range of sparkling tops would look fabulous with your favourite pair of jeans or a high-waisted skirt for a festive day out. We love this fun Faux Leather Chevron Fur Jacket (£79) for those days when only making a statement will do.

Funky & Fun
