STYLE13 November 2024
Glam up for party season, enjoy post-Christmas strolls with family or prep for jet-setting abroad – stylist Celine Sheridan has your seasonal wardrobe solutions.
Dressing up, staying in

If lounging in pyjamas all day isn’t your style, Celine recommends finding that sweet spot between smart and casual. “A crisp white T-shirt and classic denim make the ideal foundation – just add a sequin jacket for that extra sparkle.” Feeling bold? Swap your jeans for sequin trousers and ground the shimmer with a chunky knit, taking you effortlessly from day to evening. And for a truly festive twist, don’t forget a pop of red…

Winter walks

When festive strolls call, grab for a statement coat. "Invest in a timeless piece you’ll reach for year after year," says Celine. Whether it’s a sharp wool coat, something with a tailored masculine cut, chill-proof shearling or water-repellent mac, it’s where practicality meets polish.

Chill-cancelling

Two- and three-piece sets are having a moment, with brands like Sandro and Maje leading the way. "With one set, you can create multiple looks – pair the waistcoat with tailored trousers for sleek style or the skirt with a cosy knit," says Celine. These versatile sets make navigating your festive plans a breeze.

STYLE TIP

For a long night on your feet, comfortable flats or small kitten-style heels like these are a must.

For the work Christmas party

"Don't be afraid to have fun with your look," says Celine. Take classic silhouettes – like a knitted rollneck or a sheer long sleeve – and switch it up with texture. Think velvet or metallics (yes, even for menswear) for that instant festive touch. Her go-to? A relaxed knit teamed with tailored trousers to create a smart-casual look with a polished edge. And remember, standout shoes and sharp tailoring are always a worthy investment.

Christmas markets

When it comes to browsing stalls and sipping mulled wine, comfort is key. “Fabulous flats or boots and a cosy, oversized coat,” Celine insists. To dial up your look, add seasonal pops of red, berry tones or creamy whites through chunky knit scarves and bobble hats, finished with sparkling accessories for that extra festive flair.

CELINE'S STYLE TIP

"Anchor your look with one standout piece – be it a bag or pair of fabulous shoes. Velvet Mary Janes are my go-to,” Celine adds. After all, every showstopping look deserves the perfect plus one.

Going out

"This is the time to go big!" says Celine. Whether it’s shimmering sequins, delicate lace or that classic LBD, now’s your moment to shine. Go all-out with a full sequin dress or keep it polished with a glitzy skirt paired with sleek, understated basics. For those craving structure, Celine swears by sharp tailoring in luxurious winter fabrics – think rich wool blazers or perfectly tailored velvet suits that effortlessly blend sophistication with festive flair.

Beauty essentials for the season

Whether you’re hopping between events or unwinding at home, a glowing complexion is non-negotiable. Let your skincare do the heavy lifting – choose a serum that delivers radiant brightness, while a primer deeply nourishes for a flawless canvas. Add a hint of shimmer, then swipe on a bold lip and finish with a cult-favourite mascara for a look that steals the show.
