It’s the season to sparkle and be jolly. Whether you spend December nights twirling at festive parties or prefer soft, slow days by the roaring fireplace, dress it up a notch this holiday season – and let glam meet cushy.
With hints of a classic tuxedo silhouette and a velvety cotton fabric, the “Jeffers” blazer from Tiger of Sweden offers a bold yet relaxed style. Wear with a bow or tie for cocktail parties, a delicate woollen shirt or a round-neck sweat- er for more casual events. The blazer is dapper with the high waist “Tommie T” trousers featuring tuxedo-style side stripes.
Tiger of Sweden, “Jeffers” blazer, €545
“Tommie T” trousers, €299
Composed of a soothing wool- and viscose blend, the “Rampoua” shirt from Swedish brand Sefr is neat for frosty December nights. The burgundy hue, wide collar and mother-of-pearl buttoning give an elegant feel to it.

Adorn your dinner outfit with a silk scarf. This one from Swedish Eton is made in a silk-wool blend and features a classic dot pattern. The airy and soft weave makes it great to pair with anything from tai- lored outerwear to relaxed knitwear.
Eton Shirts, wool and silk scarf, €149
The cufflinks in yellow gold with onyx stones from Norwegian goldsmith David Andersen make both a perfect gift and an investment to last a lifetime.

The Danish twin sisters behind Lié Studio just dropped a holiday collection that feels equally chic and Christ- massy – items like the “Louise” earrings pair great with any outfit, day to night. The graceful “Louise” earrings pictured come in silver and gold plated silver.

There are some garments that you buy once in your lifetime and wear for the rest. The “Cheval” jacket from Swedish Bite Studio is one such. It is sharp and refined with a double-breasted style, lightly padded shoulders and sleek features. The jacket is crafted in organic wool and goes with everything from a dress, skirt or tailored pants to jeans.

A satin skirt complements most festive activities and garments. It is lovely worn with soft knits and wool stockings for slow days at home and equally suitable with a silky blouse and pointy heels. This shimmery cream option is cut to a maxi length and features both back and side slits for movement and a fluid drape.
Cos, satin maxi skirt, €99
Not only is red a quintessential holiday shade, but it is also one of the hottest tints in fashion this season. The red “Cleo” blouse from Swedish brand By Malina is a versatile yet merry piece. The puffy balloon sleeves invite for holiday glam worn with a voluminous skirt and sparkly jewellery. But the blouse can also adapt to a more cosy vibe, worn open with a little top under, styled with slouchy wool trousers.
