DRIVING HOME FOR CHRISTMAS

However you’re traveling, from long car journeys to flights, you can’t beat a matching set when it comes to looking put-together on the go. This season we’ve got smart-looking, easy-wearing co-ords that make effortless work of travel dressing.

01. One of the key fabrics for this season, the Milano knit technique creates a smooth, compact-knit texture that balances the softness of knitwear with a structured edge. Our Side Stripe Jumper + Pant set is made from a wool and organic-cotton blend that ticks the boxes for comfort and retaining polish on long journeys, while delivering a subtle flash of color in the form of multicolored stripes.

02. The same fabric but a different look, our cream Milano Stitch Co-ord includes a smart jacket with a point collar and flap pockets, complemented by a streamlined A-line skirt. The pieces in this set work perfectly together, but look equally good mixed and matched with other styles, including the black colorway.

WAKE UP, STOCKINGS + COFFEE (OR MIMOSAS)

Whether you’re waking up at the crack of dawn to watch little ones open stockings or you’re having a leisurely drawn-out morning, it might feel too early to commit to your full christmas day outfit just yet. Instead, find the perfect go-between look that unites the comfort of pyjamas with a slightly more put-together edge. 

01. Enjoy an extra caffeine dose with our Double Espresso velour tracksuit set. The zip hoody and wide-leg track pant are both made from velvety soft cotton-blend velour with classic ribbed-jersey trims.

02. If you want to graduate a step further than matching loungewear, our Cord Travel Palazzo Pant is a great base to build a cosy yet considered outfit. It’s made from velvety cord to a flared-leg fit that’s ideal for balancing the chunky proportions of our Cable Half Zip Vest, made from a blend of recycled wool and alpaca. Complement the zipped collar neckline by layering it over our Merino Cashmere Barely There Layering Jumper and complete the look with the Shearling Ballerina Flat.

PRE-DINNER WALK

If you’re not the designated chef or sous chef, then the hours before Christmas dinner is the perfect time to get out the house, build up an appetite and give the host some breathing room.

01. Wrap up in statement outerwear like our Camo Puffer Jacket. Contemporary style meets intelligent design with this piece. It’s made with a water-repellant outer and padded with warming yet lightweight down and feathers, then complete with a detachable hood that accommodates unpredictable weather conditions.

02. Combining two different heritage influences - Prince of Wales check and the classic trench silhouette - our Wool Trench Coat is perfect if you prefer a longer coverage. It’s made from warming double-faced wool and cut to a relaxed shape, ideal for layering over chunky knits, and has an optional tie belt.

03. Complete the look with cozy accessories like our two-tone Travel scarf, made from double-faced wool to a generous size that also works as a shawl around the shoulders. Or amp up the coziness with our Teddy hat and scarf pieces, both rendered in indulgent Espresso Brown and made from merino wool yarn that has a tactile bouclé finish.

OVER-THE-TABLE STATEMENTS

The ultimate outfit hack to festive dressing: a bold top and your choice of comfy trousers, because let’s face it, it’s all about making an over-the-table statement. Luckily, there’s no shortage of elevated tops and blouses this season, and something they all share in common? Fitted or shirred cuffs that mean you can eat and serve food without the risk of draping sleeves in the feast. 

01. Embrace a shot of unapologetic color with our Winter Iris Silk Blouse. It’s cut to an oversized fit with an extended longline hem for the added coverage, then features a detachable tie around the neckline for the choice of a looping pussybow tie, or a clean-cut collar. 

02. If you prefer a more muted color, then look to the Pintuck Detail Blouse in Dusty Rose. It’s made from a lightweight woven fabric with a subtle sheen and features intricate pintuck and embroidered details across the chest, then complete with a detachable neck tie.

03. Florals are always a good choice and this season we’ve introduced a new custom print - Forget Me Not, seen across different styles including this Silk and Cotton-Blend Black Blouse and this Cream-Hued Swing-Silhouette option. 

04. An over-the-table statement that extends to a full look: our Cord Velour + Ponte Midi Shirt Dress. This texture-clash style has a combination of velvety corduroy and smooth ponte trimming the collar and front zip placket, then follows a streamlined fit-and-flare silhouette for a flattering look that doesn’t restrict. 

SOFA TIME

The food may be eaten, but the day isn’t over. Christmas films, The King’s Speech and festive TV specials still await, and relaxing on the sofa calls for a comfy outfit change.

01. Few things say cosy like a chunky knit. Choose a heritage look with our Jacquard Sweater, available in cream of olive, made from a warming blend of alpaca and cotton and decorated with a classic Fair Isle pattern. Or enjoy the adaptable nature of a detachable snood neckline with these merino and Cashmere-Blend Sweaters, available in deep autumn olive or cream. 

02. The perfect partner to soft knits: a pant that blurs the line between loungewear and tailoring. Available in bold sapphire blue or tapenade, this Lounge Pant is made from washed cord for an ultra-soft feel, then fitted with an elasticated waistband for all day comfort, however you’re spending it.
