Christmas Fashion Tips from an Expert

CLEMMIE Fieldsend, Fashion Editor at Fabulous, has shared her top tips for looking fabulous this Christmas.
AVOID: Christmas jumpersNo longer a novelty gag, they’re now gone back to being naff and have no place at a festive party.By all means, go all in for Christmas Jumper Day for Save The Children, but never wear it before or after that day.
WEAR: BurgundyYou can’t escape burgundy at this time of year and it’s a luxury, deep and rich colour that is a welcome break from Santa-red at Christmas.Opt for silky textures or velvet for extra style points.
AVOID: PJsThe trend of feather trimmed co-ords has had its day and is so dated.Don’t pull out your hair plucked pair this year, and don’t get a new set, instead still go for the satin two-piece but just steer clear of the plumes.
WEAR: Sequin DressTry to switch up sequins slightly by wearing them with a different texture or colour, eg a sequin skirt with a sleek knit.But when you’re really stuck on what to wear reach for the sequins, it is Christmas after all.
AVOID: Sequin blazerNothing worse than showing up to a festive do looking like the hired entertainment.Leave the sequin blazer to magicians and Strictly judges, instead always reach for a classic tux style or velvet.
WEAR: Bling trousersLast party season embellished jeans with diamante bling had a moment, and this year they’re going to be as much of a hit.If you don’t want gemstones pinging off wherever you go then try metallic, PU trousers.
