Sometimes I wonder what Christmas and fashion
have in common. But as I am far from home and I will be going back for vacation
to my hometown by plane, with just one
luggage of a limited weight, I discover Christmas can be like a fashion show.
I can’t stand the magazines offering perfect
Christmas Eve’s garments, starting from conservative white shirts and black fitted
jackets that should be ‘paying respects’ , finishing on sequin dresses tight as hell to
accentuate the oncoming New Year’s Eve. I believe this is the time clothes should
not be just an appropriate choice for the reverent occasion. They should be
what we want them to be.
So when I will be doing packing in three weeks’
time, I will look for vintage sweaters, tartan skirts and turtlenecks. No
formality, no glittering (apart from a golden nail polish!) just crimson-dark
red and bottle green which will perfectly look with a rural-styled Christmas
tree. And woolen socks of course. Hopefully, I should also find some space for
the plain, black, loose and short Topshop dress.
But this is not a check list of my wardrobe.
This is me looking for the fashion’s place during this time of celebration.
Christmas is a perfect moment for dressing-up, as the ambience around is very often so epic, with Frank Sinatra’s
songs , Nigella’s programme on the TV and smell of gingerbread, that we can appreciate things we’re wearing twice
as strong.
I love this feeling, so let’s be honest, my Christmas outfits are thought
over. No bigger pleasure that watching Chevy Chase in ‘Christmas Vacation’
dressed in the checked pyjamas pants,
grey sweatshirt and cosy socks. Truly recommend. X
