What a year it was, huh, 2023. A year to remember (or maybe not?) and a year we won’t forget easily. Hopefully, 2024 will be a bit different. But before we get ahead of ourselves, we are going to close out this year in style. The Christmas dinners and New Year’s parties may be different, but they can still be stylish. Perhaps even more comfortable because you’ll be spending time in small, intimate gatherings. We’ve gathered the latest trends for stylish and comfortable holidays.
#1. The Jogpants
Jogpants are the new trousers, and they offer many advantages, especially during the holidays. Jogpants are comfortable, soft, and stretch to accommodate that extra helping of food. Pair the jogpants with a shirt and a bow tie. You’ll be enchanting and casually chic at the table.
#2. The Comfortable Shirt
Yes, it’s possible! You can also join the Christmas dinner in a comfortable shirt. Not all shirts are made of cotton. There are also shirts made of stretch. That means… eat extra, and your shirt will stretch along with you. Combine this shirt with jeans, and you’re all set!
#3. The Stylish Turtleneck
The turtleneck is already an essential item this year. It’s a stylish garment to work in, comfortable, and warm. So why not wear this gem during the holidays? Black is always a good choice! But this holiday season, go for burgundy or dark green.
For an even more stylish look, you can pair a turtleneck with a waistcoat or blazer.
#4. The Waistcoat
Speaking of the waistcoat… this item is becoming more of an eye-catcher and will dominate the street scene in no time. So why not make your debut with the waistcoat during the holidays? Choose a color that makes you feel comfortable and pair it with a shirt or turtleneck. It’s less warm than a blazer, and you’ll be dressed neatly.
#5. Accessories
You’re not going out for dinner, you won’t have big feasts, Christmas drinks are skipped this year, and you might as well forget about a big New Year’s party. But that doesn’t mean you can’t dress up a bit with accessories. You can always opt for cheesy Christmas items like a reindeer tie. We recommend going for stylish accessories. Here are the top 3:
- Suspenders: it may sound old-fashioned, but it’s not! Wear suspenders with chinos and a shirt. Roll up the legs of your chinos a bit and complete your festive outfit with stylish sneakers.
- Bowtie: even if you’re only at the table with your family, a little glam is always welcome! So opt for a bowtie. Go all out with a gold or silver variant or keep it understated with a stylish black bowtie.
- Flatcap: wearing a hat during dinner isn’t polite. But since winter barbecues are all the rage, you can easily wear a flatcap during the holidays! It will keep your head warm while grilling or while you watch someone else flip that delicious steak.
Happy holidays!
