Your clothes:
Sequins and sparkle are the very essence of Christmas attire. But,
this doesn’t mean you have to appear before your guests like you’ve
just waltzed off the set of Strictly Come Dancing. Christmas sparkle
can be classy, but it must be functional too. Sequins on silk, or
glitzy metallic screams party, but make sure you look for an outfit
that not only suits your style and shape (yes, I’d love to wear a
glittery bodystocking too, but it doesn’t mean I’m going to look
like Jennifer Lopez…), but that suits your role: you’re likely going
to be running around schmoozing and generally being fabulous,
which requires a forgiving material and an easy, chic outfit.
Elegant dresses, or loose-fitting jumpsuits are a winner for women
here, and open shirts, casual trousers (even jeans) and a statement
blazer (don’t be afraid of patterns; it’s Christmas), work really well
for guys. Ladies – it’s really about accessories once you have your
outfit sorted; team anything with a jewelled cuff, a string of pearls,
some glamorous shoes and a perfectly applied lip and you’re ready.
Your home:
The Christmas season means all sorts of things: a season to be jolly; a well-deserved break from work;
a religious celebration; an opportunity to watch Scrooged on repeat…but, it’s also a readymade theme
if you’re having a party, and how you dress your house will make a massive impact on your guests
long before they’ve sunk their first Prosecco.
Little details go a long way – plan your table decoration well in advance and colour-coordinate from
there. Teal and silver is a gorgeous colour combination that works well with classic Christmas red, so,
for example, if you opt for a teal tablecloth, top with a silver runner and red, glossy placemats. Be
imaginative with your decorations too - I once picked up a long branch from the side of the road,
wrapped it in battery-powered fairy lights, suspended it above my dining table with ‘invisible’ fishing
wire and hung assorted decorative baubles from it. It was a talking point for weeks.
