I've been struggling with what to wear on Christmas Day, but this easy tartan dress with velvet bow detail is my perfect festive find

When it comes to planning your outfit for Christmas day, there are a few things to consider. You most likely want something smarter than usual but with a healthy dose of festive cheer; and whether you plan to be cooking or just eating the turkey dinner, you’ll need your outfit to feel roomy and comfortable enough from AM-PM.

Finding an outfit that does all of the above while looking Christmassy can be a tricky task, but I think I may have the answer with the Scoop Back Check Dress from Boden. The bold tartan design in a merry shade of red has a lovely traditional feel to it, and the oversized velvet sash at the waist injects plenty of fun, so it will work equally as well for a carol service as it will for opening presents and pulling crackers. As soon as I saw it, I knew it was the one and have just added it to my basket (making the most of the Boden Black Friday discounts this week) and I’m already to excited to wear it over the holidays.
