 hristmas is nigh upon us ladies and gentlemen, a truly joyous occasion that — for those who celebrate/revel in it — bookends what has essentially been a near-month celebration replete with all manner of yuletide affairs, dashing through the snow, gift shopping, family reunions and culinary indulgences. |
Be that as it may, come Christmas morning the last thing on many a gent's mind may well be that of his style.
As such, I felt (festively) compelled to pony up a few — five to be precise — refined outfit recommendations that each respectfully espouse upon what to wear this upcoming Christmas morning, day and evening. Extending well beyond the cliched perennially louche leisurewear confines of t-shirts, joggers and onesies/ugly novelty sweaters, these rakish looks are primed to live up to a variety of discerning sartorial palettes whilst also ensuring your peak comfort levels never wane.
But, why bother dressing up on Christmas you may ask?
I'd argue because you simply owe it to yourself to look your finest come the big day given you have otherwise gone above and beyond in your quest to finding the perfect gifts as well as in bringing not only cherished family (culinary/nostalgic) traditions to life but all those you love together to celebrate in the spirit of the season as one— don't let your style be the only checkmark left unfulfilled as it were.
My point being is that dressing up will bring a true sense of occasion to the event whilst serving as a beacon of self respect as well as a most becoming gesture of good will to all those whom you love that (if truth be told) deserve the added sartorial effort (even if they would never expect nor demand it of you).

To wit, a little forethough and sartorial due diligence will pay immediate dividends in helping truly mark the occasion as special whilst you respectfully treat all those whose lives you touch (as well as the annual family portrait/Christmas itself) to a festive master class in tastefully posited formal and loungewear.
With that ideal squarely in mind, what you will find below are five inspirational ensembles that deliver an equality of style and substance (i.e. comfort) in spades erstwhile tabling something for most any discerning taste from the debonair sartorialist through the modern prep — and from Christmas sunrise to sunset.
All that I imagine is left is for you to sort out is bringing together your loved ones and perhaps a mug of hot chocolate (or a festive libation/coffee/tea of your choosing) before you rakishly saunter about on route to sitting comfortably astride that resplendent Christmas tree whilst wearing (with confidence) what best tickles your fancy (as well as that of all onlookers) this Christmas before you begin to doll out presents to one-and-all.
Merry Christmas!

 ixing up and looking smart (or rather casually rakish) come Christmas — whether morning, day or night — is certainly not to be expected (nor required) by most but should nevertheless be considered a priority (not to mention a most becoming gesture) for any gentleman of style who not only has a deeply-seeded respect for self but also a respect for all those he lives and associates with. Point being: while there may well be no dress code that needn't mean you should scrimp on your style simply because it is a holiday — style and comfort are not mutually exclusive entities after all. To wit, the discerning collection of five (5) Christmas inspired looks strewn about this style dossier will not only help you avoid a visit from the 3 sartorial ghosts of Christmas (past, present and future) but also have you cutting a most flattering, rakish and impeccable dash no matter your styling proclivities that is at once tastefully poised, utterly comforting and festively spirited. That having been said, and regardless of whatsoever you find comfort in wearing this Christmas, I do sincerely hope you wonderful lot all have a splendid and joyous Christmas Day (and a Happy New Year)! |    : Dashing Through The Snow : What to wear should you desire going about the town or country on Christmas Day  |
