No Inspiration for a Christmas Outfit? Check Out Our Tips!

Outfit inspiration for the festive season

Sinterklaas has barely sailed home on his steamboat, and the shop windows are already dressed for Christmas. The tree is standing proudly in your living room, the first Christmas cards have been sent and your gifts for family and friends are ordered. The only thing still missing is a beautiful outfit for the festive days. Are you at a loss and could you use some outfit inspiration for the holidays? Let our 5 outfit ideas inspire you and get ready for an elegant family dinner or a cozy Christmas dinner for two!

Outfit 1: a velvet tuxedo

Heading away for a romantic weekend with your loved one and want to make an elegant entrance at the Christmas dinner? Then choose a velvet tuxedo jacket for a statement look. Velvet lends every outfit a luxurious allure and is the menswear piece for a festive evening out. As velvet is a rather delicate fabric, we advise against velvet trousers. No greasy turkey stains on your smart trousers is much more pleasant! Combine the striking velvet jacket with plain black trousers. That way you appear as a gentleman at his best!

Outfit 2: a mix and match look

Can't decide on just 1 outfit? Then a mix and match look is for you! Choose a crispy white shirt and pair it with a black or royal blue blazer. Add a stylish pair of black or blue trousers. A tie with a subtle pattern adds extra cachet to your Christmas outfit. With this mix and match look, you'll arrive in top form at the Christmas gala.

Outfit 3: a full tuxedo or suit

Is an elegant dress code planned? Then pull out all the stops and choose an original tuxedo. A black or midnight blue tuxedo with a cummerbund around the waist. For a black tie tuxedo, make sure to choose a crispy white shirt with concealed buttons. Is a black tie tuxedo a little too exuberant, but do you still want to arrive in style? How about a beautiful Christmas green linen-look suit? This tailored suit wears wonderfully light. Another advantage: the suit doesn't crease, as it isn't real linen. With a pair of smooth leather lace-up shoes, you're party ready!

Outfit 4: a comfy chic look: smart sweater with chinos or smart joggers

Want to sit comfortably at the Christmas table this year? Then forget the tuxedo and settle down with a comfy chic look. For this dress code, choose a smart pullover with chinos or smart joggers. Jeans are less fitting during the festive season. Over Christmas, your casual chic outfit may lean more towards chic than casual. Prefer not to wear dress trousers? Then take a look at our complete range of chinos. Does the thought of a sweater make you feel hot and itchy? Then a shirt with a festive print is a great alternative!

Outfit 5: a casual Christmas sweater

Has your girlfriend organised a tacky Christmas party? Then you can't go without a tacky Christmas sweater, of course. Make an impression at the work Christmas drinks or at the table at home with this fantastic Christmas sweater with LED lights for a dazzling result. For a complete look, add smart blue chinos. Bring on the Christmas music! The GENTS team wishes everyone a very happy festive season!
