From at-home slumberwear to slinky party pieces, the Christmas calendar requires a variety of outfits at the drop of a Santa hat.

And don’t forgot the dash of festive frivolity – no seasonal fashion choice is complete without the customary Christmas jumper, a sprinkling of stars, snowflakes, sparkle and plenty of Father Christmas cloak-inspired red.
