This season, we’re ramping up for more than just festive cheer — we’re stepping into everyday glamour.
From crisp winter walks to luxurious sculpting treatments that redefine your glow, we’re embracing all the moments that make the season shine. Think elevated high-street ensembles that carry from desk to dinner, the best G&T to serve at your cosy home soirees, a chocolate pop-up (hello, “Can’t Get Knafeh Of It”) stirring the sweets scene, and the getaway with your nearest and dearest you’ve been waiting for. These are the reasons why the Citizen Femme Hotlist is your go-to guide for living beautifully through the frosted evenings ahead.
GETAWAY HERE Luminescence, A Winter Light Trail, Swinton Estate
Close to the market town of Masham in Wensleydale, the Swinton Estate spans some 20,000 acres of countryside which stretch from the River Ure, across hill-farms and moorland, to the very fringe of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. At its heart lies Swinton Park Hotel, occupying some 200 acres of heritage parkland and gardens, and this winter, it invites visitors to embark on Luminescence – A Winter Light Trail, starting this week on 6 November until 22 February 2026. The mile-long illuminated path winds through the heritage gardens, woodland and lakeside setting of Swinton Park Hotel, unveiling enchanting light installations inspired by the natural world. Warming drinks and snacks are available half-way along the route, making it a group-friendly experience (whether its friends of families) for a tempting festive weekend away.
DRINK THIS Bathtub Gin x Tart London
This festive season sees Bathtub Gin joining forces with the culinary visionaries Tart London — chef-entrepreneur duo Jemima Jones and Lucy Carr‑Ellison — to unveil a special, limited-edition bottle embodying the magic of yuletide folklore. Available UK-wide from today, the bottle takes Bathtub Gin’s signature hand-wrapped brown-paper look and reworks it into a whimsical nocturnal tableau of woodland hares, gliding birds, winding serpents and crescent moons, through the imaginative lens of Tart London. With its blend of British wilderness, heritage and imagination, the design turns each bottle into a keepsake as much as a premium gin. Inside lies the award-winning Bathtub Gin: produced in Kent in a copper pot, double-infused for exceptional flavour. Just as Tart London are known for their generous, flavour-rich cooking and Wild by Tart restaurant, Bathtub Gin is designed for hosting and conviviality. Its a collaboration that honours seasonality, storytelling and gatherings as the evenings draw in.
WEAR THIS Marks & Spencer x 16Arlington
‘Tis the season for glamour—and no one does it better than 16Arlington, the British luxury fashion house famed for its bold, conversation-starting designs. Now, Marks & Spencer has teamed up with 16Arlington to deliver a limited-edition 43-piece capsule collection that distils the label’s signature aesthetic into a wearable, statement-driven wardrobe. Designed for the on- and off-duty ‘It Girl’, the line fuses standout style with effortless wearability—from sharply tailored suits and beaded skirts to designer-fit jeans (honed using the same pattern block as 16Arlington’s mainline) and brushed cashmere knits. Every piece plays with texture and form: feather trims, shimmering embellishments and rich tactile finishes wrapped in a refined colour palette of bitter chocolate, ice silver and midnight black. Hero items range from a show-stopping crystal-draped maxi gown to a butter-soft full-leather look with a biker-style jacket—finished off with statement jewellery, fringe-beaded cuffs, pony-skin boots and heels. It’s everyday luxury with dramatic impact.
