Christmas market outfits
Christmas market outfits from WDLT117, Utopia and Due West, each piece priced on 2 November 2026, from about NZ$248.
Wool coats, down, heavy knits, boots, scarves and hats for a cold evening at the market.
Christmas market outfits are built for hours on your feet in the cold: a down or wool coat, a thick knit, sturdy boots, a scarf and gloves. Wear the knit close under the coat, and keep to black, navy and grey so every layer goes with the next.
Christmas markets began in German speaking towns in the late Middle Ages, and the one in Dresden was first held in the fourteen thirties. Moncler, founded near Grenoble, made its first down jackets for its factory workers, and Canada Goose made its Expedition parka for scientists in Antarctica. Mackage, from Montreal, works in down, wool and leather, and Guidi, which began as a Tuscan tannery, dyes its horse leather boots after they are made.
Due West in Toronto carries down coats and parkas from Moose Knuckles, Mackage and Canada Goose, with wool coats and knits from COOR and Les Deux. WDLT117 adds Guidi boots and coats from Undercover and RUOHAN, and Utopia adds Moncler down jackets and vests, some pre owned.

Common questions
What do you wear to a Christmas market?
A warm coat, a knit, boots you can stand in for hours, and a scarf, hat and gloves. A down jacket or a heavy wool coat over a wool or cashmere sweater keeps you warm without a bulky middle layer.
What shoes are best for a Christmas market?
Leather boots with a thick sole keep cold stone and wet snow away from your feet. Guidi's horse leather boots and MM6 Maison Margiela's Anatomic ankle boots are both on this page.
Is a down jacket warmer than a wool coat?
For its weight, yes: down holds more warmth in a lighter coat. A heavy wool coat looks sharper over tailoring and still keeps you warm when it is damp.
