The perfect Christmas Eve outfit: 10 fashion ideas, from the mascarpone-colored look to the "festoon" belt
Have you already found all the gifts for friends and relatives? And have you also wrapped them carefully? Then it's time to think about the holiday look. The first big date is indeed the Christmas Eve dinner, in the sweet anticipation of December 25. It is a special time: after the work and big preparations are over, there is the pleasure of gathering around a table enjoying traditional dishes. There are those who spend this occasion with close friends, whose attunement is reminiscent of the relationship of sisterhood or brotherhood, and those who catch up with relatives, and those who (still) indulge in a romantic couples dinner. These are all important occasions that require the perfect outfit for Christmas Eve.
A sequin dress is not necessary; start with a shining touch....
Even the most romantic dress can become a suitable garment for the end-of-year festivities if you choose to add a shining touch to your look: a twill or bonnet can make all the difference as Erdem teaches.

Tired of the usual velvet dress? Try the white Christmas dress.
This is one of the most elegant looks you can sport on Christmas Eve night: a long fitted snow-colored dress, to be embellished with impressive jewelry, such as a choker and a pair of bracelets, all in bold shapes.

The inspiration is Italian, by Dolce & Gabbana: a long mesh dress that shows the lingerie underneath. If you don't know boudoir style is the latest fashion trend to follow....

How to re-imagine the tweed suit
There is a very fun way you can personalize the classic tweed suit: pair it with a handcrafted, folk-flavored garment. A vest, a shirt or a handmade piece of jewelry. This fashion idea is also valid when it comes to a plaid jacket or skirt.

Christmas dress
For someone, tradition should be respected even when it comes to the look: choose a long, sophisticated dress that can remind you of Christmas because of the details and workmanship. A real investment, because you will wear it from this Viglia onwards...!

Long gloves for the Christmas Eve look
If you have a beautiful sleeveless or strapless dress, you can wear it on the night of December 24 and personalize it with long gloves: it will be the charming touch to your outfit. Try it on New Year's Eve, too, to feel like Audrey Hepburn.

The pinafore
Choose it very short and equipped with romantic bows, while the usual black can be replaced by Christmas hues: butter white, ice silver, cherry red, midnight blue or pine green.

The "festoon" belt
If you have decided to go for a classic Christmas look, we recommend playing with accessories: not only hair clips with pearls, velvet headbands and vintage brooches, opt for a whimsical and extravagant touch like a "festoon" belt.

The mascarpone-colored look
Finally, the outfit for Christmas Eve that we chose on the cover signed Moschino: it is a tailored outfit composed of a fitted jacket and a pair of straight pants, all in mascarpone yellow. The ensemble was brightened by gold details and a damask maxi stole reminiscent of the elegant tablecloths of the dinner party. There is no lack of a fork purse, the perfect ironic fashion touch for the occasion.
