12 Seriously Chic December Outfit Ideas To Try
By Sarah Macken
From polished daywear ideas to ultra-cool after-dark outfits, these looks are our reference point for the month ahead …
With December in full swing, the number one way to keep cosy is with a colour-pop scarf or hat. A bright shade of lipstick red is still in favour with the style set.
Are party coats an entire wardrobe category? They should be. We love the idea of a white satin opera coat that stretches towards your ankles: chic.
On the topic of partywear, flapper-style dresses, with decadent fringing and embellishment, are trending now. We love the idea of them teamed with sheer tights and statement flats, or kitten heels, as an after-dark outfit idea.
When it comes to arm candy, a chocolate brown leather shoulder bag feels suitably decadent for December.
As for jeans, the coolest way to wear straight-leg styles now is via a long length that puddles at the ends, teamed with chunky loafers.
You can also winterise white jeans by teaming them with a V-neck knit (inspired by the cult sweater from Toteme) and accessorising them with a belt and a pair of patent loafers.
A brown collarless faux fur coat is the last word in chic. Team it with a white T-shirt and a neckerchief scarf, or a lightweight knit for extra layering.
The styling memo of the moment? Tone your scarf to match your coat. Bonus points if it’s a rich shade of burgundy or a moody brown.
Planning your next party look? A velvet dress that cinches at the waist is a classic look that’s ultra-flattering.
Add a silk white shirt to any outfit to make it instantly party-ready.

Equally, wear a statement animal print skirt with a white shirt for a healthy high-low dressing mix.

Look to a full skirt for a little festive drama. Irish fashion brand Kindred of Ireland’s linen take on a tutu is inspiring us. It’s the kind of hero piece that makes for a perfect Christmas day look.
