Anita Rani's cosy navy knit with bold red lips and nails is casual festive chic at its finest
If you want comfort and style during the festive build up, this style is for you


We're always in awe of Anita Rani's style, but she's the queen of casual glam in this navy jumper teamed with pops of bold red.
Like a fashion chameleon, Anita Rani can move effortlessly between timeless glamour and stylish everyday dressed down looks. Her recent black and white dress teamed with red shoes for an event was delightfully chic, while her chunky trainers and mini skirt combo had us instantly wanting the same relaxed but contemporary look.
While it's the season to be giving careful consideration to Christmas party outfits, Anita's latest must-have look is both festive and comfortable - something to be coveted in the run up to the big day. On Instagram, Anita showcased the perfect cosy roll neck knitted jumper in navy, and brought a festive edge with bright pops of red on her lips and nails. Navy and red are always a winning combination, and this look will suit everything from low-key Sunday lunches to wandering Christmas markets.

Shop navy knitted jumpers

Shop red lipstick and nail polish
This non-drying formula delivers matte, full-coverage colour that feels utterly weightless and provides a powder-soft finish on lips. A unique blend of waxes and oils melts and transforms into an ultra-thin, featherweight powder, while spherical pigments float across lips to blur imperfections.
Anita told her followers in the Instagram post that she'd been inspired by watching a conversation between Pamela Anderson and Drew Barrymore about not wearing makeup. Apart from her lovely red lips, Anita's face was otherwise makeup free and she looked natural and stunning.
She also shared that she's currently feeling quite under the weather, and we wish we could look as glamorous when the lurgy hits us, too. Hopefully her well maintained nails with a pop of red to match her lips, will brighten her mood with their festive feel.
