Looking for a cute outfit to wear on Christmas Day that is comfortable and still looks fantastic? Ahh it’s the ultimate dream! After all, Mum’s have a lot to consider in a Christmas outfit, such as:
- Is my outfit suitable for running after toddlers?
- What if I get spewed on or pooed on during the day?
- Will I be too hot or too cold?
- Will the outfit cover my belly, my bat wings, and my chunky-ass thighs?
- Will it make me look pretty?

Plus comfort is a HUGE consideration as Christmas Day is always so long and you really need to consider clothing and shoes that will carry you through without pinching or having to pull or push tops that might be too tight. You don’t want anything that clings, but you don’t want to look like a brown sack either.
So here are the Stay at Home Mum-approved outfits that are both practical and pretty to wear at Christmas.
Natural Jungle Mix Top
Oh 3/4 shirts, how I love thee! They hide all the bad and show off all the good. Plus this gorgeous shirt is also in Christmas colours. It will look great with jeans or shorts and doesn’t look too ‘Mummy’ like.
Plus it is nice and light and colourful – perfect for Christmas Day!
The Bestfriend Jegging
Jeans can be hot – so if you are going to be out in the sun all day, don’t even think about jeans. However, if you are in air conditioning, jeans are great. I’ve found since I’ve had a Mummy Tummy that jeans can get really uncomfortable around the middle, which is why I love these jeans they are S-T-R-E-T-C-H-Y. Stretchy is a Mums best friend.
Goldie Rose Wedge
And shoes. Shoes have got to be comfortable to last all Christmas Day – and they have to look good too! Plus these are on sale at the moment for only $19!!!!
Getaway Stripe Dress
Simple, striking and wearable all year around – this is a great choice to wear on Christmas Day. It can be dressed up or down with jewellery and shoes, add a coat if it is chilly where you are. It’s bloody adorable.
Cotton Blend Gingham Shirred Dress
A simple but beautiful dress perfect for Christmas Day. It hides the upper arms, covers the belly and shows off your girls. It’s a great length if you have to bend down and get back up many times a day with kids – and because it is cotton, anything spilt can be dabbed off! A great choice!
The Florrie Jersey Dress
Jersey falls so beautiful – it doesn’t crush and it always feels so lovely. Even though jersey material is quite thick, it doesn’t get hot. This jersey dress has a beautiful summery design and is so simple. I’m going to buy this for myself to wear on Christmas Day this year.
Spot Maxi Dress
From Sussan comes this delicious little spotty maxi dress that is just so sweet!
The Everyday Pant from Sussan
Light and airy – perfect for lifting and bending – but still looks classy AF! Also comes in white and green.
Best of all, these pants are under $80!
Laid Back Playsuit
Okay so a playsuit is a pain when you need to use the shitter – but they do look super cute and are practical for everything else but that!
Wanda Navy Silk Wide Leg Pant
Flowy, light and still beautiful – these pants are perfect for Christmas Day. Pair it with a white t-shirt and a pair of tan slides – and you have the ultimate outfit.
Mali Raspberry Drape Top
This top comes in about ten different colors, but the raspberry is so Christmassy – it would be what I would choose! It doesn’t cling, hides upper arms, and drapes down over your bum to hide anything you don’t want to show.
When it comes to choosing an outfit for Christmas Day – remember you can look good and be comfortable too!
