1. Classic Sweater and Chinos Combo

If you’re looking for a timeless Christmas Day outfit, pairing a classic sweater with chinos is a winner.
My Christmas sweater recommendations;
Opt for a crewneck or V-neck sweater in a festive color like deep red, forest green, or rich navy. Pair it with neutral chinos in tan, gray, or dark brown.
Go with loafers or casual dress shoes for a polished look, and add a leather belt to bring it all together.
Top Tip: Try a sweater with a subtle pattern, like a fair isle or cable knit, for a hint of holiday charm without being too flashy.
This outfit is perfect for family gatherings where you want to look put-together but stay comfortable enough to lounge around.
2. Festive Blazer with Jeans

For a dressy-casual look that still feels relaxed, try a festive blazer over a T-shirt or button-down with jeans.
My festive blazer recommendations;

For a classy look go with this velvet blazer in red or green - Shop USA | Shop UK
A plaid or velvet blazer can add a lot of holiday spirit to your outfit. Choose dark, slim-fit jeans to keep the look casual yet stylish.
Brown or black boots work well, along with a leather watch.
Top Tip: If a full blazer feels too formal, you can wear a more casual sports jacket or cardigan.
This look strikes the perfect balance if you’re attending a Christmas dinner with friends or a laid-back family event that calls for a bit of polish.
3. Cozy Flannel and Jeans Look

A flannel shirt paired with jeans is an easy, relaxed look that still has a festive edge. Perfect for a cozy, at-home Christmas Day.
My flannel recommendations;
Choose a flannel in traditional Christmas colors like red, green, or black. Dark-wash jeans give it a polished look.
Add boots or high-top sneakers, and throw on a simple beanie if it’s chilly.
Top Tip: Layer with a plain white or black tee under the flannel for an easy, laid-back vibe.
This outfit works well if you’re going for a low-maintenance, cozy style while spending Christmas Day indoors.
4. Turtleneck with Dress Pants

If you’re aiming for a smart, sleek look for Christmas Day, a turtleneck with dress pants is a stylish choice.
My turtleneck recommendations;
Something light weight (perfect for under a jacket) - Shop USA | Shop UK
Something thicker (for when you’re going with cosy) - Shop USA | Shop UK
A fitted turtleneck in a dark color like charcoal, burgundy, or black can look incredibly sophisticated. Pair with tailored dress pants in black or gray for a refined finish.
Accessories: Leather loafers or Chelsea boots add to the polished vibe, along with a sleek belt and a simple bracelet or watch. Check out this guide for more tips on men’s accessorising.
Top Tip: Go for a wool or cashmere turtleneck for a warm, comfortable feel.
This outfit is ideal if you’re attending a more formal family dinner or event, offering both style and comfort.
5. Christmas Sweater with Corduroy Pants
Christmas sweaters have become a holiday staple, and they can look charming when paired with the right pieces.
Choose a fun holiday sweater, whether it’s a classic fair isle pattern or a quirky Christmas-themed design. Corduroy pants in neutral colors like tan, olive, or brown complement the sweater without looking too bold.
Stick with loafers or casual boots, and add a leather belt to keep the look pulled together.
Top Tip: Balance the look by choosing a more subtle Christmas sweater if the event calls for a less "ugly sweater" vibe.
This outfit idea is perfect for Christmas gatherings with family or friends where you can embrace holiday cheer without feeling too dressed up.
6. Button-Down Shirt and Sweater Vest

For a preppy and layered look, pair a button-down shirt with a sweater vest for a cozy but sharp Christmas Day outfit.
My Christmas button down recommendations;
A crisp white or light blue button-down under a sweater vest in a festive color or subtle pattern adds dimension and style. Pair with chinos or dark jeans for a balanced look.
Oxford shoes or loafers work well, and add a watch or simple bracelet.
Top Tip: For a more holiday-specific look, consider a tartan or plaid vest to add an extra layer of holiday cheer.
This outfit offers a bit of a dressy edge, making it great for Christmas brunch or lunch with family.
7. Casual Hoodie and Joggers
For a super relaxed Christmas Day, especially if you’re staying at home, a matching hoodie and joggers can be a cozy but stylish choice.
Choose a set in a festive color like red, green, or gray to give a holiday feel to a casual outfit.
Stick with sneakers or slippers, depending on your comfort level.
Top Tip: If you still want to feel a bit festive, look for holiday-themed socks or a casual beanie to wear with the outfit.
This is the ideal look if you’re planning a very laid-back Christmas Day with family or close friends.
8. Henley Shirt and Vest
For a rugged, wintery look, a Henley shirt layered with a quilted or puffer vest is both stylish and warm.
Choose a thick Henley in a dark, earthy tone and a vest in a contrasting color. Pair with dark jeans or corduroys.
Finish with lace-up boots, a simple scarf, and a beanie if you’ll be outdoors.
Top Tip: A waffle-knit Henley adds a touch of texture to the outfit, keeping it interesting without feeling overdone.
This outfit is perfect if you’ll be spending time outside, perhaps enjoying some post-lunch holiday walks.
9. Cardigan and Chinos

A cardigan layered over a basic tee or button-down is a cozy, refined look that works well for a more intimate Christmas celebration.
My Christmas Cardigan recommendations;
Choose a chunky knit cardigan in a wintery shade, like dark green or gray. Pair with chinos in a neutral color.
Go with loafers or desert boots, and add a belt for a finished look.
Top Tip: Layer with a scarf or add a brooch for a subtle touch of holiday flair.
This look is perfect for a casual gathering where you still want to look put-together and festive.
10. Casual Suit with a Turtleneck

Top Tip: Stick with wool or flannel for a suit material that feels cozy and Christmas-ready.
