Hosting Christmas in Comfort and Style with Raffya

Christmas is the season for sparkle, warmth, and gathering your loved ones under one roof. Whether you’re planning a relaxed family lunch, a stylish cocktail evening, or a festive brunch with friends, comfort and style should go hand in hand. This year, Raffya’s collection brings you effortless co-ords, soft knits, and elegant dresses that make hosting feel every bit as good as it looks.

1. Elevated Comfort: Matching Sets That Mean Business (and Pleasure)

For the host who wants to look polished without sacrificing comfort, a matching set is the ultimate wardrobe hero. The Marmalade Blouse and Trouser in Black strike the perfect balance between chic and relaxed. Crafted in a flattering silhouette with a subtle sheen, the black co-ord looks sophisticated yet easy — ideal for when you’re floating between cooking, hosting, and celebrating. Pair it with gold jewellery and a soft red lip for that understated Christmas glamour.

For a softer, laid-back take, the Lily Anne Sweatshirt and Trouser combination is pure festive luxury. The plush fabric and relaxed fit make it the perfect choice for a day of unwrapping presents or sipping mulled wine by the fire. Add cosy slippers or suede flats to keep things effortlessly elegant.

2. Cosy Layers for Effortless Warmth

When the temperature dips, it’s all about layers that feel as comforting as they look stylish. The Elton Jumper in Cream is the definition of a winter essential — oversized, soft, and timelessly chic. Its neutral tone pairs beautifully with denim or tailored trousers, while the relaxed fit keeps you feeling snug and unbothered through hours of entertaining.

For those who love a little colour, the Daffodil Top in Marrakesh Print injects personality into your festive wardrobe. The lively print and flowing shape make it a standout choice for daytime gatherings or a casual Christmas Eve dinner. Style it with wide-leg trousers or a midi skirt to bring out its vibrant tones.

3. Dresses Made for Hosting

Hosting doesn’t mean compromising on elegance, and Raffya’s Puglia Dress — available in Burgundy and Mustard — is proof. The easy, flattering silhouette skims the body while offering freedom to move, making it perfect for long lunches and evenings by the tree. The rich, earthy tones nod to the season’s palette, creating an effortlessly festive look. Pair yours with ankle boots for day or heeled mules for dinner.

4. Hosting Made Easy: Set the Scene

A well-dressed host knows it’s not just about the outfit. Create a space that feels as welcoming as your wardrobe. Think warm lighting, flickering candles, and natural textures — sprigs of eucalyptus, linen napkins, and golden tableware. Play a mellow Christmas playlist with jazz or acoustic carols, and serve dishes that let you spend more time at the table than in the kitchen — roasted vegetables, baked camembert, and a spiced dessert are foolproof favourites.
