Everyone's favourite fashion guru Gok Wan has urged us this to enjoy ourselves whilst out and about shopping and to not get into panic mode this Christmas.

The 42-year-old fashion expert shared his top tips for people looking for that ideal outfit through the Holidays. 42 eh, he’s looking well!

Gok suggested, "find something you know you’re comfortable in and don't try and feel as if you have to be something you’re not".

It’s back to the good old phrase FLAUNT WHAT YOU’VE GOT!

As a girl personally I feel sometimes being comfortable in what I wear makes the night out better (probably because I can breathe).

Shopping for that perfect outfit can be easy and relaxing for many people however for others it can be their worst nightmare. We all have many special occasions that we feel we must buy something new for and for a lot of us we feel we cannot be seen in the same outfit twice faints How dare we?!

Gok reminds us that "we should never forget about the options that are stuck at the back of your wardrobe. It's always good to pull out a classic." Hello there blue jeans from 2004!

When it comes to fashion we stereotypically think of the ladies in our lives but hey this is 2016 and we got some serious fashionable men on the scene too. Gok did stress that as we head towards the new year "there is just as much, if not more pressure on guys to look good."

Overall Gok just wants us all to make shopping as stress-free as possible – take your time, know what styles you like and suit.
