The festive season is here, and it’s the perfect time to refresh your wardrobe for every holiday occasion — whether you’re staying in with family, heading out for a cozy dinner, or dancing the night away at a New Year’s Eve party. St Nicholas Shopping Centre has everything you need to make your Christmas and New Year’s celebrations stylish and memorable. From comfy and festive loungewear at Primark, to chic dresses at Next and New Look, and statement heels from Deichmann, there’s a perfect outfit for every vibe. In this guide, we’ve split your festive fashion into categories — staying in, going out for a meal or drinks, and going out out for parties and clubbing — so you can find your ideal look without any stress.
🎄 Staying In – cosy & festive at home
When you’re planning a quiet Christmas — maybe watching movies, having a small dinner or New Year’s Eve at home — comfort plus a hint of festivity is key.
-
For a soft, seasonal vibe, go for a festive knit or Christmas jumper. For example: Primark Women’s Red Soft Knit Christmas Jumper — comfy, warm and quick to throw on.
-
If you want a fun, more playful feel, you could pick something like Primark Women’s Christmas Snowman Jumper — something that says “holiday cosy night in” without being over‑the‑top.
-
For a laid‑back lounge dinner or family get‑together, a knit jumper or relaxed fit top with comfy trousers works well. Add soft slippers or casual footwear — maybe from Deichmann’s comfort lines — to complete the “chill at home” look.

🎉 Going Out Out (Party or Clubbing) – glam and festive partywear
For a night out — dancing, partying, clubbing or a big New Year’s Eve celebration — this is where you go full festive glam: sequins, velvet, statement heels.
-
If you want sparkle: pick something like Next Women’s Long Sleeve Sequin Bow Back Midi Dress — a sleek, eye‑catching piece for party or club nights.
-
For a bold look with a bit of festive fun: combine a sparkly dress or skirt with heels like Deichmann Women’s Catwalk Heel or Deichmann Graceland Women’s High Heel — good for dancing and late‑night glamour.
-
For a bolder festive vibe you could also mix and match: a velvet or satiny top from Next or New Look + high‑heels from Deichmann. Accessories like a festive clutch or statement jewellery complete the look.

🧑‍🎄 Quick Festive “Stocking Stuffers” & Easy Add-ons
Not every Christmas fashion choice needs to be a full outfit. If you just want a small festive touch — or to round out an outfit — consider:
-
A fun festive jumper or sweater as a secondary/add‑on piece (e.g. as part of staying‑in or casual outings).
-
Comfortable but stylish shoes — from Deichmann — if you’ll be on your feet a lot (dinner out, drinks, etc.)
-
A velvet or satin accessory (bag, scarf, hat) to elevate even a simple jeans‑and‑top combo. Several shops like Next, New Look and Primark tend to stock such smaller accessories as part of their festive/resort‑season collections.
