It’s a Sartorial Christmas - Holiday Films & Clothes

[HansderHund]

I just caught this on Netflix, so I’ll add a few from Miracle on 34th Street (1994). I may come back to add some from the 1947 original al the wardrobe was great in it as well.

Lots of heavy fabrics. Really love the tweed 3 piece:

This very kid-friendly Christmas special is a must this time of year.

It's that time of year and I think it's a fun thread, so here's a bump with a couple of images from the classic Trading Places:

Metropolitan from Whit Stillman. One of my favorite for the dialogue too.

Whit Stillman films are sublime.

She’s a composite character!

Not just the (great) clothes in that film but there’s a scene early on in the dressing room where Bing and Danny are arguing about women and time off... they’re changing out of their stage clothes and into suits to go out to a club to see the Haynes sisters, doing it for a pal in the army - freckle faced Haynes the dog-faced boy! The banter and movement as they get changed, throwing shoes around and hanging clothes in travel trunks is pure cinematic poetry. We watch this every year and love it. Also saw it as a stage show several years ago which was a great experience.

Just have to bump this for the season...a 1990 classic.

Film: Joyeux Noel ( 2005) Commemorating the 1914 Christmas Truce on the Western Front

Note the elegance of the officers early in the war.
