<p>We all know that getting ready is half the fun when it comes to event dressing, and Christmas Day is no different.

You can go big simply just to go home, or embrace understated elegance. Whatever your vibe, ditch the themed PJs (for daytime at least) and look to some of Bucks &amp; Oxon&#8217;s fashion mavens for Christmas Day dressing inspo. </p>

<p>&#8220;On Christmas Day I&#8217;ll be slipping into an outfit that&#8217;s comfy, but still has sass, style, and perhaps the odd sequin. I&#8217;ll be wearing the Lola Embellished Knitted Tank over our Lacey layering top for a little zhush. It&#8217;s sleeveless so I&#8217;ll feel confident that I won&#8217;t begin overheating when slaving away in the kitchen. The knitted tank has a beautifully soft texture that will be perfect for when I&#8217;m relaxing, and with its delicate beaded embellishment, it negates the need for any extra bling&#8221;. </p>

<p>&#8220;A clash of patterns doesn&#8217;t exist in my world when it comes to combining prints and stripes, especially when they share similar colour palettes. This belt is the perfect fit (quite literally) with the dress, and will be loosened throughout Christmas Day – because realistically who<em> </em>won&#8217;t be unbuckling their belts during a day of indulgence? The rich burgundy shade of the dress is the colour of the season; I&#8217;ve been obsessed all winter. It also has splashes of teal and pink in a tie-dye pattern to add a little boho chic charm. Plus, the viscose fabric is roomy enough to really move in if I fancy doing some twirling. Heels will be the finishing touch later on, but for now, some stylish and muted pumps will do&#8221;. </p>

<p>&#8220;This Christmas, I&#8217;m going for something a little more on the vintage glam side. This cardigan channels the sophistication of Grace Kelly or Audrey Hepburn; it&#8217;s made by a very cool Danish brand and boasts a super soft yarn. The pretty jewel embellishments and silver thread details add sparkle that&#8217;s not OTT. I&#8217;ll be pairing this little piece with a crisp white shirt, some statement silver earrings, black wide leg trousers and some metallic ballet flats – comfort is key!&#8221;</p>
