If you haven’t already, December 1 is the perfect time to snuggle up on the sofa and put your go-to Christmas film on, and one of our all-time favourites has to be The Holiday.
Aside from all the festive feel-good vibes, there’s another reason we can’t get enough of rewatching Nancy Meyer’s 2006 Christmas romcom year after year – Cameron Diaz’s outfits.
Cameron’s character Amanda constantly knocks it out of the park with her ultra-chic, timeless winter wardrobe, and whilst its neutral colour palette may not look flashy or over the top, it’s packed full of luxe fabrics like cashmere and silk that makes it clear Amanda likes the finer things in life.
Whilst we may not have the character’s hot-shot movie trailer editor paycheck, that hasn’t stopped us from wanting to recreate her expensive looks, if there’s one piece that stands out more than anything it's her shearling knitted coat she wears when she first lands in the UK.
You know exactly which one we mean – where she gets dropped off ‘near’ her holiday rental and then has to drag her suitcases down narrow country roads, wearing a gorgeouschocolate brown and cream shearling coat, which eventually ends up tied around her waist.
We couldn’t find exactly which coat costume designer Marlene Stewart put her in, but we have found some pretty incredible alternatives that don’t require an LA producer’s budget to buy, like this Dark Brown Longline Shearling Aviator, £54 here (was £90), from JD Wiliams.
The coat is already a steal with 40% off, but if you use the code 25NOW you’ll save 25% on top of that, making it just£40.50 here. Although it’s not quite identical to Cameron’s in The Holiday, it’s a pretty perfect alternative that’ll actually keep you warmer than the knitted version worn in the film.
It’s made from achocolate coloured faux shearlingthat helps keep the cold at bay, with a classic aviator-style collar in a contrasting cream colour, with faux shearling lining and trim giving it an even more elevated luxe look that wouldn’t be out of place in Amanda’s wardrobe.
We also spotted this absolute bargain at TK Maxx, which is known for offering luxe fashion at much more affordable prices. The Neo Noir Brown Teddy Overcoat has a retail price of £189.95 and was originally on the TK Maxx website for just£89 , however it’s now been reduced even further to just£72 herewith only a size medium left in stock.
If you also want to add a little touch of luxury to your winter wardrobe,Rise & Fall’s selection of cashmereaccessories and knitwear is the perfect pitstop for you, and they won’t break the bank with some pieces costing less than £50.
If you need us, we’ll be rewatching The Holiday and taking notes.
