December in Lagos is not for the weak.
It’s the season of Owambe, weddings, concerts, crossover services, brunch dates, and last-minute “let’s step out” plans. And while the calendar is full, one question keeps popping up in every girl group chat:
“What am I wearing?”
The good news? Looking festive doesn’t mean doing the most. Sometimes, all you need is the right colour combination, one that gives Christmas vibes, photographs beautifully, and lets you move freely from party to party without stress.
That’s I’m here, to help you take of that burden, that’s gees do for each other. Here are five colour combos that do the heavy lifting for you this festive season.
1. Red and Gold: The December Royalty Look
If Christmas had a dress code, red and gold would be at the top of the list.
Red brings the festive energy, while gold adds that rich, confident glow the kind that says, “I arrived, and yes, I look good.”
This combo works perfectly for lace, George, satin gowns, or even a tailored two-piece. Add gold accessories, a bold lip, and you’re good to go.
This is for the girl who wants to look powerful without shouting.
2. Emerald Green and Champagne: Soft Life, But Make It Festive
Emerald green and champagne is elegance without stress.
It’s calm, classy, and very “grown woman who knows what she’s doing.”
Green keeps things festive and grounded, while champagne tones soften the look and add warmth. This combo is perfect for weddings, high-end Owambe, or Christmas dinners where you want to look polished and expensive without doing too much.
Quiet luxury, Lagos edition.
3. Burgundy and Blush Pink: Soft, Feminine, and Beautiful
Not every December look has to be loud.
Burgundy and blush pink is for the soft girls who still want to make a statement.
The richness of burgundy mixed with the gentleness of blush creates a romantic, balanced look. It’s ideal for evening dinners, carol services, intimate gatherings, or that special event where you want to look graceful and put-together.
Think soft glam, warm smiles, and effortless beauty.
4. Royal Blue and Silver: The Camera-Lover’s Combo
Royal blue and silver never miss.
This combo catches the light, pops on camera, and brings instant confidence.
Royal blue gives depth and authority, while silver adds sparkle and movement. Whether it’s a flowing gown, structured dress, or gele and accessories, this combo guarantees compliments.
If you’re stepping out at night and know pictures will be taken, this is your friend.
5. White and Red: Clean, Bold, and Festive
White and red is simple, but it’s not boring.
It’s crisp, festive, and perfect for Christmas Day outings or crossover services.
White keeps the look fresh and angelic, while red adds just enough drama to make it interesting. A red bag, heels, lipstick, or gele is all you need to bring the look together.
Clean girl energy, but still December-ready.
December Style Doesn’t Have to Be Stressful
The truth is, festive fashion isn’t about owning the most outfits, it’s about styling smart.
With the right colour combinations, you can step out confidently, feel comfortable, and enjoy every moment of the season.
So whether you’re attending one event or five, remember:
Simple choices can still deliver big slay.
And please don’t gatekeep. Share these ideas with your girlies, your sisters, and your Owambe crew.
