Christmas this year might be looking a little bit different, but that doesn’t mean you can’t make the most of dressing for the festive season.
From a Christmas zoom party to a Boxing Day walk, there’s still plenty of festive occasions to attend, whether that be virtually or in-person.
Here at Hurleys, we’ve created this special Christmas style guide to help inspire your outfit choices this year, with the perfect combination of cosy loungewear and classic Christmas party chic.
Christmas Zoom Parties
With in-person Christmas parties seemingly a no-go this year, Christmas Zoom parties are set to be the next big thing. However, just because you’re in your living room doesn’t mean you shouldn’t get dressed up. Known for dashes of glitz and sparkles, Christmas party wear is vibrant and festive, with Christmas parties a time to let your hair down and celebrate.
What to wear:
A sparkly Christmas dress is perfect for a virtual Christmas party outfit.
Not only will you look and feel fabulous, but a Christmas party dress can easily be worn with comfortable leggings, tights or pyjama bottoms for a stay-at-home Christmas party that’s much cosier than it would be wearing heels in the cold.
Picture shows:
- Michael Kors silver sequin mini dress
- VILA black visparky sequin chevron dress
- Ted Baker gold gabria one shoulder dress
- VILA morganite vidisco shine l/s dress
- VILA black vidance glitter knot front dress
A good thing about virtual Christmas parties is that your only focus needs to be on your upper body. For Christmas party wear in 2020, opt for a statement necklace or bracelet, as well as a smart shirt embellished with glitz. Smart trousers are optional!

- Versace Jeans Couture black chain pocket long sleeve shirt
- Tommy Hilfiger silver chain bracelet
- Tommy Hilfiger silver logo stripe tag necklace
Christmas Eve
Christmas Eve is a time to get cosy with your family and get some rest before the big day. This year, it’s set to be even cosier than ever, and there’s nothing like a new set of sweats for the occasion.
What to wear:
The comfier the better, but that doesn’t mean your casual sweats can’t be stylish. Designer sweat tops such as those by Calvin Klein are a must-have, as well as luxurious women’s UGG slippers to help keep your feet warm.
Pictures show:
- Calvin Klein grey monogram logo sweat top
- UGG chestnut scuffette II slippers
- Michael Kors black logo tape sweat pants
UGG doesn’t just sell outdoor boots, but they also offer a wide range of men’s designer slippers that are perfect for Winter. Wear with warm sweats for the ideal Christmas Eve style.

Christmas Day
The classic Christmas day outfit mixes formal pieces with those that are more cosy and casual. From opening presents to eating Christmas dinner, your outfit needs to be versatile and comfortable, able to be worn from early on in the day to late at night.
What to wear:
A midi skirt with knitwear makes for the perfect Christmas day outfit.
With both pieces falling between formal and casual, you have the freedom to move as well as warmth and comfort throughout the day.
Style with colourful jewellery that matches with the outfit.
Picture shows:
- Tommy Jeans black floral printed midi skirt
- Barbour International rose quartz Kendrew knitted jumper
- Ted Baker rose gold Iclipsa half hoop earrings
Smart jeans and a cosy jumper are a good combination for Christmas day. Pair with a designer watch or belt to dress it up and keep that Christmas class.

- HUGO silver/blue chase bracelet watch
Boxing Day Walk
Going for a walk with your family is a lovely way to spend Boxing Day, especially after a day of indulgence. Getting outside in December means wrapping up warm, with plenty of layers and cosy clothing needed whether you’re going for a walk around the block or on a trail.
What to wear:
The perfect winter coat comes in many different shapes and sizes, but for second to none designer luxury, a Barbour coat always comes out on top.
Style with cosy accessories, and take a look at our Barbour vs Belstaff guide for help when it comes to choosing a coat this year.

New Years Eve
New year’s eve can still be spent celebrating! Whether you’re able to celebrate with family and friends or opting for a virtual party, new year’s eve is the perfect time to dress up nicely and say goodbye to 2020.
What to wear:
A new year party isn’t complete without a formal dress. Opt for a midi or maxi elegant dress, and pair with heels or flats depending on your location. If it gets too cold, a jacket is perfect for layering.
Picture shows:
- French Connection lavender frost armoise crepe maxi wrap dress
- Ted Baker red Gabie drape midi dress

Keeping it simple, yet smart is key to looking good on new year’s eve. Pair a plain shirt with a pair of trousers, and style things up a bit with pieces of glitzy jewellery and watches.
