The interim period between Christmas and New Year when the days of the week become a blur and you have virtually no concept of time provides ample opportunity to curl up on the sofa and enter a state of hibernation. When Boxing Day arrives and the post-Christmas blues begin to creep up, the last thing you want to do is pick out a new outfit to take on the day. To solve the sartorial dilemma of what to wear on Boxing Day, we’ve created the ultimate outfit guide, finding a style solution to each and every plan (or lack thereof) you may have.

1 | LOUNGEWEAR + LEFTOVERS

When the smell of last night's Christmas dinner is still lingering throughout the house and an unlimited number of sweet treats surround you, all you crave is an outfit that is breathable, comfortable and non-restrictive. Enter our loungewear edit: cozy, covetable staples elevated with our intelligent design details for a touch of polish. 

Embrace the comfort of a pair of joggers and a loose-fitting jumper to enter the ultimate relaxation mode. With a pull-on elasticated waistband, our Cord Velour Statement Sweatpant combines the off-duty ease of a jogger with the smart edge of corduroy.

Seamlessly complementing the tactility of the trouser, covetable knitwear such as our Lofty Merino Cashmere Silk Sweater + Snood is the ultimate pairing. Its oversized fit falls to a flattering drape and is elevated with a detachable snood for the option of added warmth.

2 | BOXING DAY BUFFET

Gathering around the table (or buffet) with friends and family for another meal is what Boxing Day is all about. All your post-Christmas energy should be directed towards choosing what to have from the festive table spread rather than picking an outfit, so make it an effortless choice.

Our Milano Side Stripe Sweater + Pant Co-ord means you look completely put together without having to spend time worrying about what two pieces to style. This is the simple power of a co-ord: instant elevation with minimal effort. 

The black base of the set is elevated with a signature side stripe on both pieces to achieve a more fluid, flattering drape and add a graphic edge. The loose, relaxed fit is enhanced by its Milano knit construction, a technique which gives the piece a more compact, smooth finish.

Taking a gift for the Boxing Day host? Our Bowling Bag in a soft Ochre shade holds all your Christmas presents and sweet or savory additions for the buffet table.

3 | THE GREAT OUTDOORS

When it comes to winter dressing, one truth remains: you need a pair of boots that go the distance. For a Boxing Day walk, our sartorial take on the trending biker boot is the perfect choice. Crafted from Italian full-grain leather and elevated with silver-toned buckles for a covetable edge, our Knee-High Biker Boot achieves instant elevation.

Though we long for a white Christmas every year, the reality of a British winter is a drop of rain is more likely than crisp snowflakes. To combat the likely downpour, our Camo Down Puffer Jacket is made from a water-repellant woven fabric, padded with a blend of down and feathers for maximum insulation. 

If the weather does take a turn for the better and we’re rewarded with a sunny yet crisp winter day, our Everyday Sweater Coat is the ideal choice. Optimal for layering over chunky knits to lock in warmth, it’s crafted from an Italian wool-blend coating fabric to lock in warmth and is available in different lengths, both shaped to a modern relaxed silhouette.

4 | PERFECTLY POLISHED PUB LUNCH

Whether you’re heading for a second roast dinner or a crisp alfresco drink in the beer garden, there’s no reason why you can’t make a trip to the pub a sartorial occasion. Our go-to solution to achieving the perfect balance between polished and pared back is layering and texture clashing.

Opting for a tactile final layer is the easiest way to incorporate a new finish. Take our Bouclé Bomber Jacket. It’s crafted from a blended-fiber bouclé with a soft brushed surface and its versatile ivory colourway ensures it’s a staple investment you can rely on for both colorful and more muted outfits.

Layering our Cashmere Zip Neck Pouf Sleeve Tee over our crisp Cotton Oxford Lived-In Forever Shirt is another way to flatteringly mix textures. When paired with versatile denim, it achieves effortless polish.

5 | CANAPES + COCKTAILS

The festive period provides many opportunities for dressing up to stay in. Hosting at home for friends and family on Boxing Day invites you to pick a print from your wardrobe and embrace a bold color palette to brighten up the day. Our Tulip Print Ruched Front Maxi Dress intelligently combines a feminine floral print with flattering ruching across the front for a more fitted finish whilst still being comfortable enough to wear all day long.

Staying in also means your footwear needs to provide comfort from AM-PM. Our Shearling Ballerina Flat is the optimal choice. In a chocolate brown or soft cream hue, the pair is designed with an elasticated band to comfortably hold your foot in place. The Sacchetto stitch and turn construction used to create this pair ensures extra flexibility and comfort - you’ll want to keep them on all day long.
