Comfy Christmas Day Outfit

[Sunshineandbluesky]

I’ve been quite ill and Christmas this year is all about making life easier for me. For example Christmas dinner will be courtesy of M&S.
I have a yearning to wear comfy tracksuit bottoms on Christmas Day but I don’t want to look or feel scruffy. I can’t wear a big sweatshirt or jumper due to getting very hot very easily.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I don’t want to wear my pyjamas and I don’t want anything “novelty”. I’m a size 14.
It would be great if I had some suggestions as to how I could be comfortable but also feel good about myself.

How about a jersey dress?

Thanks for replying @cantbecaught . I should have said no tights either sorry. The only way I feel comfortable at the minute is in tracksuit bottoms. Even leggings are too constricting.

Would you be able to wear a sequin pair? I did last year. Very comfortable.

If the food is courtesy of M&S then start your outfit search there too. The Rosie loungewear looks comfy, there's a pure cotton set that shouldn't be too toasty. Or if you want the comfort of joggy bottoms but want to feel smarter have a look at the cashmere ones. You could get a co ordinating cardi and wear a cotton top underneath in case you get too warm.

Oo that’s a possibility. Where did you get them from please@gocompare ? It seems a bit wasteful but cheery too. I guess they could come out every year at Christmas!

I think mine were from monsoon. I sold them on vintned just after Christmas because I lost a bit of weight. I will look for some now for you.

Loads on there!

I hope you find a nice pair.

Thanks @gocompare. You’ve made me think that velvet tracksuit bottoms would be nice so I’ll look for those too.
@chesterelly1 I think the idea of a matching cardigan sounds good. Cashmere just makes me hot just thinking about it 😁 but I’m off to look at the site now. Thank you.

Calling them joggers now rather than tracksuit bottoms seems to have helped my search a lot too! 🤣

www.simplybe.co.uk/shop/p/ll910 would this work with the matching top?

Haha yes joggers they sound much more dressy than trackie bottoms which is what I usually say. Sequin ones though are deffo joggers.

I found that out last year searching for them 🤣

These look very promising but are out of stock in my size https://www.marksandspencer.com/velour-elasticated-waist-straight-leg-trousers/p/clp60625591?intid=mobile_app_pdp_share

Simple jersey dress or black jersey trousers with an elastics waist and a short sleeved top if you get hot.
I'm wearing black trousers, plain black long sleeve top and burnout kimono style jacket. Easy, comfortable, and forgiving!

Black velvet lounging suit or just the bottoms with a sparkly but stretchy top

How about a velvet stretchy jumpsuit - maybe size up by one

I wear the M&S plain black (or navy) straight leg joggers a lot. I've convinced myself they just look like black trousers (don't really care if they don't). I wear with a loose shirt or jersey top and long cardigan for throwing off when I get too hot. Lands End is good for nice jersey tops, but not sure if you'd get one delivered in time.

@JaceLancs I’ve just ordered that jumpsuit to try - thank you! What a great price!
I’m going to order a pair of sparkly and a pair of velvet joggers too. Now for the hunt for a top that matches.
Thanks everyone for your suggestions.

John Lewis do matching velvet bottoms & jumpers (more loungewear but you can get away with wearing them out the house too)
