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 2025.

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.

SHOES: black Mary Jane mid heel pumps – mine are from Rouje, but apparently, they have already sold out. Worry not, I found a similar pair for you. And you can get 10 % off with my code – CLICK HERE TO GET 10 % OFF AT FARFETCH. *The code is valid for the rest of the outfit, too.

TOP: red Sézane cardigan sweater – buy here. *You can wear it 3 ways. I’m wearing it as a cardigan sweater here, but you can turn it around and wear it as a sweater with the buttons in the back.

BOTTOM: Sandro Paris shorts – buy here. Take your normal size. I had mine taken severely to make them look like the model. But I’m 74 cm in the hips.

TIGHTS: Wolford black 20 DEN sheer tights – buy here. 20 DEN is fine for me in early fall.

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.

SHOES: Gucci Signorina slingbacks – buy here USA or buy here EU + rest of the world.

DRESS: Self Portrait white sequin dress – buy here. I bought this dress a few weeks ago and I’m obsessed. And it runs slightly bigger than other Self-portrait dresses – for which I know you will love it even more. If you feel slightly restrainedin any of the signature Self Portrait dresses, this won’t be the case when wearing this dress. All the other Self Portraitdresses fit me almost perfectly (only a little too big), but I have too much space around the chest and shoulders in this dress. For me it runs one size larger than it should. But again, I’m 83cm around the shoulders, 73cm with a padded pushup bra, and 52cm around the waist.

ACCESSORIES: OK, I won’t gatekeep where I bought my headband even though I don’t get a commission for your purchase at Boho headwear. But Špela, the designer, is my friend, so I’m happy to promote her business.

TIGHTS: Calzedonia burgundy 30DEN tights – buy here.

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.

LONG SLEEVE PLEATED DRESS WITH KNEE HIGH BOOTS

If you are searching for something more traditional, look to sophisticated silhouettes and longer lengths.

Turn heads in a long green pleated dress that embraces the old money Christmas spirit.

SHOES: knee high black boots – buy here.

DRESS: Self Portrait green pleated dress – I bought mine last year and is sold out. But this one is similar.

MAKEUP: Dior Cushion – buy here.

Dior Lip glow – buy here.

CAPSULE CHRISTMAS BRUNCH OUTFITS WITH A DRESS

If you are rushed for time, you might want to turn to the classics. The urge to wear red and green for Christmas is undeniable.

Take your pick from red velvet, or perhaps you would prefer a full red dress that puts a unique twist on festive traditions when paired with patent leather kitten heel slingbacks.

RED MIDI DRESS WITH SATIN HAIR BOW AND KITTEN HEEL PUMPS

We all know a red dress works the best for a heartwarming Christmas brunch at home.

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

It can take you from home to church and after to Christmas brunch party at Annabel’s or Claridge’s, or to brunch at Ritz.

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’t forget 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.

SHOES: Gucci Signorina slingbacks – buy here USA or buy here EU + rest of the world.

DRESS: red Self Portrait dress – I bought my dress some time ago, and it is sold out. But there is this dress you can buy instead. To be honest, I prefer this dress over mine. I really dislike the sleeves on my dress.

ACCESSORIES: Boho headwear hair bow – buy here.

CHRISTMAS BRUNCH DRESS WITH SATIN HAIR BOW AND KITTEN HEELS

Now imagine air filled with the aroma of freshly baked goods, soft holiday melodies playing in the background.

You are wearing a green midi dress. Yes, another midi in green, but with short sleeves this time. With all those candles, fireplaces and ovens turned on it’s so hot in every corner of our home.

SHOES: Gucci Signorina slingbacks – buy here USA or buy here EU + rest of the world.

DRESS: midi green dress – mine is Self Portrait and I bought it a while ago. And yes, that means that is sold out already. But I found this dress that looks similar. I wish the price was similar, too. The dress I found is only as much as my favourite panettone – under $100.

ACCESSORIES: Boho headwear hair bow – buy here.

CASUAL CHRISTMAS BRUNCH OUTFITS WITH JEANS

If you are looking for a feeling that is less about formality and more about fun, these cute Christmas brunch outfits are for you.

As Christmas brings cosy feelings, you want to wear materials to match. With charming silhouettes and warmth, here are pretty and sweet casual Christmas brunch outfits that will make you look cute and stylish.

RED CARDIGAN WITH DARK WASH 70s STYLE BAGGY JEANS AND BLACK T-SHIRT WITH KITTEN HEEL SLINGBACK PUMPS

For something cute yet chic in the same measure, try my favourite Christmas brunch outfit with jeans.

Whether it is casual at home or dressed up for outside, this chic Christmas brunch outfit will never be out of place. It is all; it is red, cute, chic, cool, stylish, fashionable and warm.

Point of view, a red cardigan has a vintage charm that lasts throughout the holidays paired with trendy jeans.

There is something timeless about wearing a red cardigan on a Christmas morning, and something practical about layering over a T-shirt and matching it dark wash jeans. Point of view, tou need to save this Christmas brunch look if you want to eat a lot and look super cute all Christmas day long.

Anyway, back to you. I can already see you in this casual Christmas brunch outfit opening that panettone. You are curious and excited, as you pull the ribbon and tear the paper. You remove the paper, and gasp in delight. It’s a classic panettone, filled with candied fruits and nuts. You love panettone, and can’t wait to try this one. Although it’s rather small. 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.

SHOES: Gucci Signorina slingbacks – buy here USA or buy here EU + rest of the world.

CARDIGAN: red Sézane cardigan sweater – buy here. *You can wear it 3 ways. The stitches are positioned in way that allows you to turn it around and wear it as a sweater, too.

TOP: black oversized T-shirt – OK, I won’t gatekeep where I bought this T-shirt even though I don’t get a commission for your purchase at Artotype+. But Adrian, the designer, is my friend, so I’m happy to promote his business. Designed in Paris and made of 100% cotton in Portugal, 230GSM, this T-shirt is a must have. And you will melt as soon as you see Adrian’s cute furry daughter in the back. Uva is the cutest.

JEANS: A.P.C. Paris wide-leg jeans – buy here. And no, they haven’t been taken in yet. I bought them in my size, FR24, which is OK for me when shopping for A.P.C Paris standard and slim-fit jeans, but always too big for wide-leg and baggy jeans. Anyway, I’m obsessed with these jeans. I have them in navy blue, too. And the reason why I haven’t taken them to my seamstress yet is because I wear them on repeat. They are so soft – they are not made of Japanese denim like most of A.P.C. Paris jeans.

ACCESSORIES: Boho headwear headband – order here.
