'Yule wear it well'

  Alistair Carr, Design director, Pringle

Men should dress with a sense of fun on Christmas day and not take themselves too seriously. Put on that jumper your granny has spent months knitting you. You might feel like a total idiot at the time but it will make her so happy. The smile on her face will be worth the years of embarrassing photographs.

Sir Paul Smith, Designer

If you are having a special, dressed-up Christmas, then I would say a crisp white shirt and velvet smoking jacket. A more normal and casual day would be a big cosy cashmere sweater with easy-fitting trousers so you can really relax.

Jon Snow, Broadcaster

Never a Santa hat, nor antlers, and certainly not the ghastly oversized men’s knitted socks. No, this is a chance to wear smart jeans or fine wefted cords, my best brown Fratelli Rossetti shoes that never get enough outings in the year, a bright buttercup yellow jersey with a subtle Italian stripe in the shirt collar glimpsed beneath. If I’m really dressing up for some fancy Christmas party, then a collarless Iranian white cotton shirt vaguely tucked into dark strides and a daring pair of Carréducker hand-made black shoes with a subtle thin red stripe in the centre spine of the shoe. But if you push me, I might resort to my old faithful Issey Miyake dark grey pleated waistcoat – stop me now before I go too far!
