Attire seems the correct word for what is worn for Christmas pictures - matching "oatmeal" sweaters are on the front page of the Globe and Mail's Christmas photos coverage. Sounds elegant for Christmas attire.
Last Saturday, I saw a family - mother, father, and baby - at the Watering Can in matching pyjama-sort of outfits like this below. I don't remember if they had reindeer antlers on their heads. That pyjama/sweat pants look is creepy to me, and got creepier every time I saw them again.
The female staff in Shoppers Drug mart were wearing elf dresses yesterday.They are a retro 50s style, so that must mean this is a trend gaining momentum. Halloween is very popular, so why not dress up at Christmas given all the opportunities. The trend is more towards women's vintage 1950s dresses. If you remember the dresses in the movie White Christmas, that's the look. Even with white gloves. Not as many pajama outfits this year. But maybe families all own the matching pyjamas, so are being pitched something different this year.
As I look through the dozens of pictures, I notice that the dog dress Christmas Candy costs more than the Elves Blue Reindeer jumpsuit for people. What do you think of this?
Here's a retro style dress with a novel print - white gloves would go with this outfit - I wonder if this is a Christmas Carol. And we're back to asking why this dress is listed for $34 compared to a dog outfit for $48.
Here's a holiday greeting from a few years ago - let's see if this much snow falls today.
