The right Christmas outfit depends entirely on what kind of Christmas function you are going to. You might be going to a black tie Christmas event, in which case you will wear something elegant and sophisticated. You might be going to a family Christmas lunch, in which case you will dress casually, perhaps wearing a fun Christmas jersey and a pair of Christmas antlers. And you might be going to a full on fancy dress Christmas party in which case you should definitely get your Santa Claus, Grinch, elf or reindeer costumes ready. And if you don’t have the Christmas costumes, you should at least have the fun accessories, the antlers or a Christmas hat, ready at the drop of a Christmas hat!
How to dress up
Think through your Christmas dress up outfit carefully. Look at costumes stores online where you can get fantastic and creative ideas. You may end up buying a Santa Claus outfit, the red pants, red and white coat, red nose and fabulous Santa hat, and you may decide you want to be a reindeer, or that your child should be an elf. If you are the one who is going to be dishing out presents, perhaps for a work event, go the whole hog and order a Father Christmas dress up outfit. At least you will have it for next year too. Just remember to wear ordinary clothes underneath, or have a change of clothing nearby, in case you start overheating. In Australia Christmas takes place in summer and a full on Santa Claus outfit can get steamy. Steamy, but always fun.
Dress up whichever way you want to dress up, for a Christmas fancy dress, even if it is just wearing a pair of ears. And you can get inventive with a Christmas outfit, with red and green antlers or sparkling light antlers.
