10 best velvet dresses for Christmas day parties 2019

It’s the most wonderful time of the year and the perfect excuse to invest in new wardrobe additions.

But we are not just talking knit jumpers, teddy coats and cosy scarves. It’s the party season and with it comes an endless stream of festivities that require suitably sparkly ensembles to wear throughout – and this includes the big day itself.

While Christmas morning may consist of matching pyjamas, your lunch to dinner frock should inject some glam into the gloomy winter weather and a velvet piece will do just that.

Velvet fabrications are synonymous with this time of year as they sit on that ever so fine line between comfort and style, looking luxe while staying cosy and warm with the sumptuously soft material. The dresses are also offered in classic hues of red and green as well as bolder variations of fuchsia and ice-blue to make the statement that you deserve.

We have gathered our favourite velvet dresses with just the right amount of give so you can enjoy your festive feast and look good while doing it.
