I just had a look at what's new in at Next - these festive fashion finds are too good to miss
Think luxe velvet, cosy knits and festive sequins
Festive adverts are popping up on television left, right and centre, plus the weather suddenly feels a whole lot colder. Suddenly it seems we're hurtling towards Christmas, which calls for a wardrobe refresh if you ask me.
No doubt you need a few key pieces for the season ahead, but you don't want to fork out a fortune, right? Well, Christmas has come early at Next, and the British clothing brand's affordable new in collection is full of plush velvet, cosy knitwear and elegant coats to get you into the spirit of things.
While it's tempting to head straight for sequins and velvet at this time of year, some of the best Christmas outfits are the ones that don't feel obviously festive. A great knit paired with tailored trousers, velvet paired with denim or a subtle sprinkling of statement accessories can feel just as special as a dress. What I particularly love about shopping at Next is that you really can get a lot for your money. It's a great place to look for trend-led pieces to give your wardrobe a new lease of life, while still staying practical.

Kilt skirts are everywhere at the moment, and they look particularly chic worn with chunky knitwear and knee-high boots. This one is available in either khaki green or blue tartan, and one customer called it "lovely and warm for this time of year".
Deer is the animal print trend to know for autumn/winter 2026, and this jacket is available in both regular and petite lengths. One reviewer wrote: "Sizing is generous therefore I went down a size but depends on whether you want to wear a jumper underneath."
Talk about getting two for the price of one! This jumper comes with a matching triangle scarf, and the relaxed fit is super flattering. You can, of course, wear the scarf with other tops too, so it's well worth £38.
I'm firmly on the barrel-leg jeans bandwagon, so these satin trousers are a great way to take the more relaxed silhouette into party season. Sizes are selling out very quickly in these, so don't wait if you're keen to try them.
The perfect blazer will go seriously far in the run-up to Christmas, and I love the cut of this jacket. It's available in UK sizes 6 to 26, and it will dress up your favourite pair of jeans with minimal effort.
Fair Isle is always popular at this time of year, but this striking blue colour is something I haven't seen anywhere else. Wear it with a kilt for a real Traitors feel.
These trousers tick so many must-haves off my list: comfy jersey fabric, striking leopard print and leg-lengthening side stripes. You'll wear these on repeat in the months ahead.
Burgundy is a colour that comes into its own at this time of year, and the cape sleeves on this top are perfect for anyone who prefers a bit of arm coverage. Wear it with sharply tailored black trousers and a pair of heels for some festive glamour.
A little black dress always comes in handy around Christmas, and the ruched detailing on this option is very Victoria Beckham. It's the ideal style of dress to hide a tummy, and it needs minimal accessories to look truly stunning.
If you're not one for loud Christmas jumpers, this chic red cardigan has just a subtle nod to the festive season with its novelty buttons. It will be perfect for the big day, too.
This blazer looks like it should cost ten times the price. The satin lapels are cut beautifully, and the double-breasted fit makes it a wardrobe classic.
Blue sequins might not be the first thing that springs to mind when you're shopping for festive fashion, but this fringed skirt is one of the best things I've seen on the high street so far this season. Think how beautifully it will move when you're throwing some shapes on the dancefloor!
If you've got a wintry wedding in the diary, this shimmering midi dress is a brilliant choice. Wear the Next tuxedo blazer over your shoulders, and add black heels for a sophisticated finish.
The sheer panels on this cardigan will complement a high-waisted skirt or trousers perfectly. It's available in no fewer than five different colours, so if you love it, then stock up.
I honestly can't believe the price of this coat - not only is the burgundy colour spot on, but the detachable faux fur collar is bang on trend for 2026. One Next shopper called it: "very good value and well designed".
Whether you're searching for the perfect Christmas party outfit or need some new wardrobe additions to brighten up the colder months, I'd recommend taking a look at what's just landed online at Next. As well as the own-brand designs, you can also shop labels like Love & Roses and Lipsy, and you'll find plenty of gifting options for Christmas, too.
