Suffolk &amp; Cambs


<p>Christmas Day is the one glorious moment in the calendar when slipping into something fabulous just to potter around your own house feels not only acceptable, but absolutely essential. If you’re anything like us, the outfit planning is half the fun — so we tapped three of our favourite local boutiques across Suffolk and Cambs to see what the style insiders themselves will be wearing while they baste the turkey and pop the fizz.</p>



<p>The fashion mavens at <a href="https://irisandviolet.shop/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Iris &amp; Violet</a> (Cambridge), <a href="https://www.collenandclare.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Collen &amp; Clare</a> (Southwold) and <a href="https://shopannastore.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Anna</a> (Woodbridge) have generously opened their wardrobes to us, and oh wow — prepare to swoon. Think slinky satin, party-ready sequins, cool-girl all-black moments and the occasional wink of leopard print for a little festive mischief.</p>



<p>These are the looks we’re loving — and the best part? You can shop every single piece at our brilliant local independents. Consider this your sign to hot-foot it to these boutiques before the sparkle sells out.</p>
