From party-ready sparkles and twinkling sequins to cosy pyjamas and Christmas jumpers that match every mood, nothing says the holiday season has started better than a serious wardrobe refresh. Whether your December is booked with back-to-back Christmas ‘dos or your plans are skewing closer towards staying at home in comfy loungewear with holiday movies on repeat, our brands have exactly what you’re looking for this festive season.
Let’s get glam
If party season is calling your name, you definitely need a new outfit for the occasion – and this year, there are so many fantastic trends to choose from at River Island, Phase Eight, Quiz Clothing and John Lewis. Think modern glamour and chic styles, featuring luxurious textures and elevated metallics - perfect for sophisticated nights out and cocktails with friends. Want to make more of a statement? Go big on embellishments, with everything from statement knitwear to bows and puff sleeves.
Beauty break
Good skincare is the best basis for any festive fashion look, especially during a Glasgow winter when the dry weather and cold winds pose an extra challenge to our skin. Stock up on your winter skincare essentials at Boots and Superdrug, and indulge in seasonal scents and cult-favourite buys at VIEVE, ARRAN Sense of Scotland and John Lewis too.
Cosy up
If ever there was a good time to stay at home with a box of chocolates and cheesy movies on repeat, it’s the holiday season. And, of course, you’ll need the right outfit to boot. From essential layering pieces at Crew Clothing to warming knitwear at Hollister and fleece pyjama sets at Boux Avenue, you’ll find just what you need to keep you warm and chic while you settle in to rewatch Love, Actually. To add a little more glamour to your at-home wardrobe, River Island has joined forces with London-based illustrator Nepthys Illustrated to deliver a limited-edition collection of cosy pyjamas and jumpers for extra seasonal style.
Kick your feet up
A relaxing night in isn’t complete without the perfect socks and slippers to keep your feet as warm and cosy as the rest of you. Head to the likes of schuh, ECCO and Jones Bootmaker to see what’s new and find the perfect pair to really complete your festive night at home.
A touch of novelty
It’s official: regular knitwear is out, and Christmas jumper season is well and truly here. After all, Christmas isn’t Christmas without a punny slogan knitted on the front of a sparkly top. Whether your style runs closer to the cute, pink Après Ski cardigan from River Island’s Nepthys collection or you’d prefer to channel your inner Grinch with the Dr Seuss-inspired styles available at Typo, your new festive favourite is just a trip to Buchanan Galleries away. Head to John Lewis and Next to shop their new-in collections – or take home something a little extra special with second-hand festive fashion finds at Charity Super.MKT.
