16 stylish Christmas stockings to deck the halls with
In the frenzy of decorating your Christmas tree with charming baubles and lights, it is easy to forget about the humble stocking. Yes, tradition dictates that Christmas stockings, filled up with lovely presents from Santa, are purely for children but we decree that you shouldn't shy away from purchasing one on that basis. After all, some of the best Christmas stockings are handmade and much too delicate for children.
There are plenty of lovely ones to choose from. For the Christmas minimalist, there are earthy toned, flax linen stockings. For the maximalist, quilted stockings should be suitably loud, while needlepoint embroidered stockings and cable knit pieces can be mixed, matched or partnered up.
Used as Christmas decorations they make a very pretty feature and add instant festive spirit to any room. They needn't be practical, or big enough to house Christmas gifts, so pick your stocking without those constraints. Tradition would suggest they should be hung from the mantlepiece, but they look good lining a staircase or adorning the tree, too.
