Christmas Getaways: What to Pack For the Magic of the Season

The magic of Christmas isn’t just found in the gifts under the tree or the sparkly decorations but also in the allure of unique destinations. Whether seeking out snow-covered landscapes that look straight out of a fairy tale or finding a serene spot to reflect and celebrate away from the usual hustle, travelling during Christmas adds a layer of enchantment to the holiday cheer.
For those lucky ones, ready to pack their bags for Christmas, we have the perfect capsule wardrobe to ensure you’re stylishly equipped for any occasion.

What to Pack for Christmas

• Cosy Elegance in Knitwear

Weekend Max Mara’s knitwear collection promises comfort without sacrificing style. Picture yourself in a mélangé sweater dress or a Fair Isle crewneck, perfect for a day of exploring or a casual gathering. Or perhaps choose an embroidered tulle skirt paired with a mohair yarn cardigan that offers warmth and style. The sequin details add a sparkle that captures the festive spirit, perfect for a Christmas day or a night out.

• The Pasticcino Bag – A Glamorous Companion

My top pick for travel must-haves is the Pasticcino bag. This petite satin beauty, adorned with rhinestones, is versatile enough to elevate a simple black dress or complement a sharp blazer.

• Versatile Luxe

For those smart evenings, an embroidered grey dress paired with a silver fringed Pasticcino bag and slingbacks. You can also add a silk t-shirt over or underneath; play with your style and you’re ready to dazzle as the guest of honour at any Christmas event.

• Festive Flair with a Spark of Happiness

Embrace the Christmas spirit with a sequined dress, here styled with a bird brooch pinned to the top of the dress strap. Don’t forget to pack a pleated silver lamé skirt. It’s a versatile piece to pair with knitwear or a chic blazer. And a perfect capsule wardrobe can’t exist without the LBD. We are in live with the black satin dress with embroidered detail on the strap.
