TRENDY CUTE CHRISTMAS OUTFITS
Christmas brunch is the brunch of the year – a family gathering everyone remembers; hence you need an equally memorizing outfit to match. A burgundy outfit will do the trick for Christmas 2024.
1 BURGUNDY SILK BLOUSE WITH TAILORED SHORTS AND MID HEEL PATENT LEATHER MARY JANES
Whether a Christmas brunch at home, at Annabel’s, or at your grandmother, Christmas brunches demand a look that makes you look stunning.
However casual or formal Christmas brunch turns out to be, you will never make a misstep with a silk blouse and shorts paired with patent leather mid heel Mary Jeans.
2 SHORT SEQUIN DRESS WITH CHERRY LIQUOR KITTEN HEELS AND A HEADBAND
Take the more is more approach when the invitation calls for extra glamour and bring a joyful spirit to family gatherings in sparkling dresses that catch the morning light.
My new sequined dress marries a trendy silhouette with ultra feminine details. I’m obsessed with the bows!
No, wait! This brunch outfit is so exceptional that it calls for a plot. Imagine waking up to the gentle sound of snow hitting your window. The early morning darkness is still lingering over Manhattan. But your apartment feels different on Christmas morning. The warmth of twinkling lights from your Christmas tree reflects off the pink and silver ornaments, throwing dancing shadows on the walls.
Your apartment still smells of all the cookies you baked before you went to bed.
You stretch and slowly get out of the bed. You hit the bathroom and lit Jo Malone Christmas-scented candle on the marble counter before washing your teeth and stepping under the shower. You make it even longer than usual, and the steam rises as you breathe in notes of pine and spiced orange. You take your time, letting the hot water wake you fully.
You go back to your bedroom to do your makeup before entering the dressing room. You already know what you will wear as you roll the burgundy tights up your legs and run your fingers across the hangers until you reach it – the white sequin dress that catches the light like fresh snow.
As you slip it on, each sequin seems to whisper magic. The long sleeves hug your arms, and the short hem makes you feel playful and sophisticated at once. The pearl bows add that touch of whimsy that Christmas practically demands.
You match the tights with the shoes and headband.
Then your phone buzzes – the Uber has arrived. You grab your coat and hurry out. You see the sequins of your dress catching the morning light as you pass buy the mirror in the lobby.
You slide into the waiting car, giving a cheerful “Merry Christmas” to your driver. As the car pulls away from your building, your stomach drops – the cookies! The beautifully packed boxes of handmade treats are still sitting on your kitchen counter, next to your twinkling Christmas wreath. Your hand flies to the driver’s seat: “I’m so sorry, but could we turn around? I forgot something incredibly important! Or perhaps stop at the hotel – they must sell cookies in the hotel cafeteria, right?” The driver smiles knowingly in the rearview mirror as he makes a U-turn.
CLASSY OLD MONEY CHRISTMAS BRUNCH OUTFITS
You likely already realize that old money dress whatever. And there is no such thing as a standard old money attire. Yet, I know you are looking for classy Christmas brunch outfits that give old money.

4 RED MIDI DRESS WITH SATIN HAIR BOW AND KITTEN HEEL PUMPS

As a symbol of Christmas and classic femininity, a midi red dress will always be the best dress to wear for Christmas brunch.

But let’s assume you are having a formal Christmas brunch at home.
Ps. If you take charge of setting the table for this special Christmas brunch, here are a few tips to follow.
1) Begin with a clean, well-pressed tablecloth that cascades gracefully over the table’s edges. 2) Start by placing the fine china at each setting. Position the plates at the center, creating a symmetrical layout across the table. Make sure you don’tforget about the bread plate. You should place it 10 o’clock from the main plate.
3) Align the silverware accordingly—forks to the left, knives and spoons to the right, with the addition of a butter knife on the bread plate.
4) Moving on to crystal glassware, arrange them with precision, capturing the play of light.
5) Now, bring in the tea cup and saucer, placing it to the right of the setting. Next to the spoon. Coordinate the tea cupdesign with the rest of the table setting for a cohesive look.
6) Delicately fold napkins and place them on the main course plate, adding a final touch of refinement.

And after sharing it with the entire table, you won’t get more than a tinny slice. But wait, there is a note sticked to the ribbon. Could this be a gift just for one of you? You did find it at the front door last night. So the note – read the note. It says:
“Dear You, Merry Christmas! I hope you like this panettone, which I baked myself. You make me happy, and I want to make you happy too. I hope you will accept this gift, and this confession. I have a crush on you, and I would love to go out with you. If you feel the same way, please meet me outside after the brunch. I will be waiting for you, with a mistletoe. Love, Your Secret Santa.” You gasp, it’s for you.
