Planning your Christmas Day outfits can be tricky, particularly as you’re usually doing lots of different things. So, why limit yourself to just one look? That’s why I’ve teamed up with Nordstrom to bring you ideas on what to wear on Christmas Day.

From opening your presents, to eating lunch, walking off a few calories or watching a festive movie…

All the outfit ideas below are from Nordstrom means you get quality clothes at affordable rates.

Christmas day outfits: Opening presents

When heading down to breakfast on Christmas morning, to open up your presents and watch loved ones open up their gifts, there’s really no need to get dressed yet…, particularly if you’re wearing a pair of stylish pajamas.

The Nordstrom silk pajamas (below) come in lots of shades, including this festive green.

christmas lunch

Stay in your pajamas for Christmas lunch too if you want to. I won’t judge! But if you do want to get changed, either because you are heading out to eat or you have guests coming to you, you can wear your jeans if you want to. Team them with a dressy top for the perfect mix of casual and formal.

If you prefer pants, you could opt for a skinny or wide style? Adding an embellished top works well as it’s likely that the focus will be on your top half if you are sitting down for lunch.

Once you’ve finished your Christmas meal, you may want to head out to walk off a few calories, and enjoy some fresh air. Opt for cozy, comfy, stylish knitwear, a warm jacket and walking boots. If you’ve worn your sweater for Christmas lunch, just swap your coat and boots and you’re good to go.
