So lockdown 2.0 ended last week, feels familiar right? Unlike last time, we’re not all coming out into the same set of rules. This has made our December outfit planning difficult! We’d usually be telling you to get Christmas ready and to crack out the sequin dresses, however with restrictions differing across the country, we’re having to think a little differently this year.
So we’ve put together a few outfit ideas to suit your plans whether you’re in tier 1, tier 2 or tier 3. Hopefully this is the beginning of the end of the rules and restrictions… let’s hope that this time next year we’ll be telling you to get your party dresses out!
If you’re unsure of what tier you are in and the rules within that tier please consult the Gov UK website here.
Looks For Tier 1
So what can you do in tier 1?
Tier 1 is basically the closest thing to normal you can get ATM. If you’re lucky enough to be in tier 1, you can have a socially distanced meet up with up to 6 people and go to restaurants and pubs together! So if you’re in need of a little outfit inspiration for those delayed dates, catch ups with friends or festive meals out, we’ve got you covered.
It’s definitely time for us to break out the dresses we’ve been wanting to wear all November, the weather can’t stop us! This printed plus size shirt dress is the perfect outfit option for a brunch with the girls. Grab those chunky winter boots you treated yourself to on Black Friday and a warm coat and you’ll be good to go!

We’ve waited long enough… it’s sparkly top season! We’re ready to wear sequin tops to the supermarket now honestly. Anyway, if your area is currently in tier 1, you’ll be able to head out for some festive drinks. This is the perfect opportunity to debut any party tops that have been shoved to the back of your wardrobe. Style with some leather-look trousers and a pair of comfy heels for an effortless glam look.

A little black dress is a timeless outfit option for any occasion. Got any delayed dates lined up? This mesh tiered dress from the Limited Collection is an perfect date night dress. We’re loving knee high boots this season and they look great with this dress! To keep warm whilst looking glam, throw on a super cosy faux fur coat.

Looks For Tier 2
What can you do in tier 2?
So you’re in the tier 2 crew. This means you’re able to go for drinks with food with your household. Now is a perfect time to get your household to try out a local restaurant and you’ll get to debut all your new winter knitwear for a snug brunch look.
If you live with your partner, a post-lockdown date-night is definitely needed! We all need a chance to dress up and feel our best. We’re loving this utility inspired look, featuring leather-look joggers, ribbed bodysuit and chunky boots. The khaki cardigan adds a pop of colour and is a perfect layer to chuck on!

Now the shops have re-opened, it’s time to crack on with our Christmas shopping. This is normally quite a task, so we’re recommending you go for a comfy-but-cool outfit (we have to make the most of every opportunity to dress up, lets be honest). Mom jeans are a go-to. Keep warm with a cosy oversized jumper and grab a puffer coat in case you need to queue up anywhere outside.

Looks For Tier 3
What can you do in tier 3?
So, if you’re in tier 3 sadly you won’t be able to meet up with anyone or go out for food. We’ve got to remain positive, at least we get a few more weeks in loungewear! Hang on in there girls x
At least we’ve got an excuse to stay inside and watch Christmas films with the heating on full whack! Treat yourself to this spotty legging co-ord so you can lounge in style. Wrap yourself up in a cosy plus size cardigan and don’t forget your slippers!
Complete The Look
Wide leg trousers are a must-have at the moment. This ribbed lounge co-ord is an essential for slumping on sofa and doing some online Christmas shopping. Make sure you’re wearing a comfy bra for the ultimate laid-back look.

At least we can go for a winter walk! This lounge look is super comfy, but also very wearable outside of the house. Through on a plus size shacket or warm winter coat depending on the weather, and get some fresh air!
