5 Essential Looks in Black and Red for All the Festive Occasions

December is the busiest time for gatherings: the Office Dinner, the Aperitif with friends, Brunch with the Book Club, drinks with gym companions... and the list goes on!

We all know that red is the colour of Christmas—who wants to deny it? But besides that beautiful red jacket and trousers suit you saw in the window, why not try that stunning, elegant black cady waistcoat dress that makes you feel refined and impeccable every time you wear it?

Of course, we're not eliminating the romantic red silk georgette dress or the burgundy slip dress at all.

Let's focus on the essential black and red pairings to show off during your Christmas celebrations.

Christmas Eve Outfit: The Glammest Choices

And for those who absolutely cannot do without a dress? It's the moment to showcase all shades of red.

The long silk dress, with frills at the bottom and transparencies, is a choice of good taste and elegance, bon ton and comfort at the same time. Burgundy is for those of us who don't want to forgo the Christmas mood but aim for something more romantic and spontaneous, such as a long dress with lace inlays. The elegant dress for excellence for some women is solely the long black dress, like a flared cady dress, with a semi-fitted bodice and transparent geometric inlays.

The Pencil dress, on the other hand, is the quintessential sartorial solution that offers a sophisticated and professional style base suitable for any formal context. Its construction requires technical fabrics and a precise cut to ensure an impeccable fit, which is fundamental for any formal outfit. The classic but essential black sheath dress, in this case with a glam detail—the rhinestone neckline—and no one will be able to miss it.

Christmas Lunch Outfit: The Chicest and Most Comfortable Ensembles

Power Dressing in Suits:

For those who favour boldness, the elegant black or red suit is the answer. The elegant suit (sartorial jacket and trousers) is perfect: choose an oversize or palazzo cut for the trousers. The red suit is a high-impact statement ensemble. Wear it with an elegant silk shirt or a crepe georgette top for the evening.

Jacket and Skirt Ensemble:

The ensemble that expresses femininity par excellence is undoubtedly the pencil skirt paired with a fitted and flared blazer jacket, to highlight a curvy hourglass figure. The skirt, however, does not necessarily have to be fitted, nor midi, as one might expect from an elegant women's suit. A long black cady skirt, a single-breasted tuxedo jacket, a tulle top with transparencies, and a jewel sandal: elegant, impactful, sexy, and why not—if you pair the skirt with a roll-neck jumper, you can also reuse it for family lunch!
