So much effort goes into sorting out Christmas Day and NYE outfits that the hazy period in between the two can often cause a few sartorial dilemmas. Top of the list is feeling comfortable and cosy, but it doesn’t mean we want to sacrifice style, and Christine Lampard just delivered the perfect Twixmas style inspiration.
Taking the reins at This Morning, Christine was spotted in a sleek, marl grey, knitted jumper dress. The smart but snuggly piece is a great option for between Christmas and New Year’s Eve, ideal for Boxing Day walks, or just generally a lovely look for feeling put together but still comfortable.
