All the items you’ll need to pack or have in your festive wardrobe for every day between Christmas and New Year
PARTY looks are all well and good for the lead-up to Christmas, but past the big day itself, do yours go to the back of your wardrobe?
Yes, there’s still New Year’s Eve, but that’s only really a few hours of wear.
Stay stylish, comfortable and cosy this Twixmas with a jumper dress from H&M[/caption]Once the karaoke’s been sung and the turkey has been stuffed, we all want to go back to normal dressing with just a smattering of festive flair.
Enter the jumper dress.
Jumper dresses are as versatile as they are comfortable, and can be worn for lots of different occasions.
This neutral, calf-length dress in a soft knit is ideal.
At just £34.99 from H&M, its ribbed design will contour figures without needing to be body-con tight, while balloon sleeves to the cuff give it a designer and more luxurious look – for under forty quid.
Balloon sleeves, ribbed style and a neutral shade makes this dress a must-have[/caption]Plus, thanks to the slight slit at one side, your look can be dressed up in an instant.
From snuggling up on the sofa with the last of the Christmas chocolates to meeting up with pals at the pub, here Fabulous’ Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend shows you how this simple but effective knit is the only item you need for Twixmas.

Whether you’re planning a boozy brunch with the girls or a friends-mas with your nearest and dearest, sometimes getting out of the house over the festive season is just what the doctor ordered.
Swap bright Christmassy reds for rich plum and mulled wine colours for a sophisticated look that still give a nod to the festivities.
Wear your jumper dress with tonal accessories for an expensive-looking outfit with minimal effort.
For extra style points, slip on this giant teddy coat that will feel like a hug on your shoulders for that celebrity-inspired shrobing look. Cheers!
