If Christmas is the one time of year when you throw all your staple style rules out of the window, the same should apply to your underwear. Whether you've got a seasonal penchant for sparkly earrings and Fair Isle jumpers, you're likely to enjoy dabbling in a bit of red/satin/sparkles/velvet/tartan under your shirt come December.

For those of you savvy enough, you can make Christmas lingerie part of your outfit: Gilda & Pearl's slip doubles as a dress and a midi skirt, while Oséree's bejewelled bra would look great with this season's favourite sheer blouses. And, of course, sometimes underwear isn't intended for anywhere but the bedroom, which is why we've included some playful festive sets that are literally designed to be unwrapped, just like a present.

From comfy cotton briefs to luxe lace sets and extra AF satin robes, we've hand-picked all the best Christmas underwear for every kind of celebration.

Don't do red? This sheer tulle robe from Agent Provocateur is just as festive thanks to its fluffy marabou trim and pompom tie belt. Wear yours beyond the bedroom (filter dressing -layering with sheer pieces - is a huge partywear trend right now) by underpinning it with a classic black slip.
