Dressed for Christmas and parties
Velvet for the hunt ball, a waistcoat for the drinks party and a skirt long enough for the reels. Pieces that go from the afternoon to the last dance.
What to wear
Dress code
Hunt balls · From late November
Black tie, or dressed to match
Many hunt balls ask for black tie. Read the invitation, then choose velvet or a long skirt, with a blazer to take off once the dancing starts.
Drinks parties · Throughout December
Smart and warm
Country houses are rarely warm. A tweed waistcoat under a velvet blazer keeps you comfortable in the hall and the kitchen.
Practical advice
- Layers under a blazer: a fine knit or a silk shirt, then take the blazer off indoors.
- Choose a skirt or trousers with room to dance, and a hem that clears the floor in flat shoes.
- Order by the last order dates for delivery before Christmas Day.
