Festive Fashions | White Stuff
09:09:00I've been scouring the streets lately trying to find the better half the perfect Christmas present. So far, I have not struck gold. but there have been several stand outs on the high street; perfect for this season.
For your Christmas party, visiting friends, strolling the Christmas markets or just smartening up for Christmas dinner, there is a wealth of stylish pieces around right now.
(Pyjamas are allowed until around lunch time on Christmas day, then you have to make some sort of an effort)
First stop was White Stuff. I'll admit, I'm not a frequent shopper here but I always admire their imaginative window displays and their take on vintage, folksy preppy dressing.
Simply put, you can't go wrong with a navy blazer. It will work with pretty much anything in your wardrobe. The Ship Stern blazer is in a herringbone tweed making a nice contrast to a sharp shirt and dark denim.
Paisley shirts can verge on James May/Alfie Moon territory, but if you take them for the retro things they are and play on that with a luxurious waiscoat, their kitschness works!
This mustard sweater caught my eye and loved the inscription on the hanger.
The appropriate attire for eating Quality Street for breakfast come Christmas morning...
The holy trinity of navy
I've always had a soft spot for a sweater vest, combine it with a Fairisle pattern and a cardigan front and I'm smitten.
Super snuggly, super long, super stylish. Banish those rubbish shorty scarves that barely wrap you up and ask for one of these scarves in your stocking.
For something other than jeans, these plum coloured herringbone trousers are the right mix of comfy and smart.
White Stuff have nailed the smart casual look this season with a rich palette of colours and textures. It makes you wish for cold evenings, just so you can layer up contrasting retro patterns and colours.
BTW, did you know the White Stuff store in Belfast has it's own cinema?! Every day this month, they are showing a different Christmas movie.
