Christmas comes loaded with gifts, but it also brings with it many family, friends and company lunches and dinners. We cannot wear the same outfits for all of them, since the required clothing is very different. We have to fix ourselves, it’s not a myth, nor is it an excuse to go shopping, it’s a reality. At Christmas lunches and dinners, people dress up a lot, as they are very important appointments. The best thing to do for the Christmas meal is to go comfortably and at the same time be up to the occasion. How to get it? We can wear discreet dresses, not too short, or with a lot of neckline.
Ideal dresses for Christmas food
Now let’s see some examples of the best dresses for Christmas food, they can even be used for company Christmas dinner or Christmas Eve. Take note of all the ideas!
-
Sequined Christmas Dresses
For the Christmas meal we have to take into account that it will probably be with the family, so we cannot dress as if we were going to a party afterwards. We need more discreet and formal dresses. Sequined dresses are ideal for Christmas as they add a touch of sophistication and elegance to your look, however, you must be careful with color. Our recommendation is that you better use silver or even black dresses for this type of event, and leave the multicolored look for the night. What do you think about the idea?

Red dress for Christmas meal
If you have a little black dress in your closet, that is, a black dress, and another red one, you will have most of your Christmas looks resolved. If it is red, much better, since it is the most typical color of Christmas. You can also wear the red-orange color to give a more original touch to your outfit. Bet on a round neckline and combine it with boots or ankle boots and discreet makeup. It will turn out to be a perfect look for Christmas food and you will be both attractive and discreet.

Black dress
Although the black dress is much more recommended for the night, the truth is that you can also wear it at Christmas food with your family. In this case, your dress will have to be simple, with a cut adapted to your silhouette and that is as comfortable as possible. You can add a note of color to your look through accessories: go for shoes in a bright color (the one you like the most), for a matching bag or for earrings that capture all the attention of your total look. And what if you combine your black dress with a short kimono? You will add a unique touch of elegance and freshness to your outfit.

Straight-cut dresses to wear at Christmas
Dresses with half sleeves or long sleeves with a straight cut are the most suitable for not getting cold and being comfortable and trendy. For this reason and because they are very flattering at this time of year, we recommend this type of dress. Although if it is very cold, you can also combine them with a matching jacket or blazer. It is an ideal cut for these morning events in which elegance and simplicity come together and, in addition, since it is long-sleeved, you can wear it as the total protagonist of your Christmas look. We love the idea!

Asymmetric cut Christmas dresses
If you want to give a different touch to your Christmas look, we advise you to opt for an asymmetric cut dress. You can bet on a dress with asymmetries both in the neckline and in the skirt, as well as a color as discreet as black. The touch of originality? The fabric of your dress will add it, for example, with sequins or glitter, to add more glamor to your total look.
-
Simple and basic dresses
Christmas food is synonymous with simplicity when it comes to styling. You should bet on basic clothes, because it is a family event in which it will not be necessary to go too showy. Avoid vertiginous necklines, or shades that are too glittery. You can opt for a whole range of simple dresses and combine them with ankle boots with a little heel and a leather jacket. You will be perfect, comfortable and very suitable for the event you are celebrating with your family.
-
Velvet dresses
Velvet and Christmas have gone hand in hand for a few years now. This fabric has become the star of the festive season, and no wonder. The elegance that velvet dresses radiate makes them perfect both for evening events and for those that are during the day, such as Christmas dinner. What color is better? It doesn’t matter! Bet on the one you like the most, combine it with the appropriate accessories, and you will succeed.

Short dresses
Perhaps the best option to dress for Christmas food is to choose a short dress. Being an event in the morning, these types of garments are ideal to show off in the best possible way. You can combine your dress with thick stockings, black, and with fun shapes, such as polka dots, if the dress is a solid color. You dare?
-
Long dresses
If you prefer to opt for a long-cut dress you can also, yes, forget about choosing a totally gala or wedding look. Choose a simple dress, at the same time sophisticated, and combine it with ideal shoes but not with a high heel so as not to be too flashy. Remember that it is an event that will take place in the morning, and excesses do not have much room in this party.
-
Short dresses with high boots
High boots or also called ‘over the knee’ or over-the-knee boots have become the total winter trend. Why not combine them with a short dress? You will be perfect! An example of this is a look in which a simple sweater-dress is combined with black over-the-knee boots. It is completely perfect for a Christmas meal with your loved ones.
