Rebecca HastingsThe velvet jacket
We can’t think of a more festive fabric than velvet. The rich pile and softness creates an indulgent, luxurious feel that’s ideal for party season. Stand out from the crowd by opting for unexpected colours: this velvet blazer comes in five colours, including forest green and striking vintage pink. Pair with a crisp white shirt or T-shirt – just remember to double-check the dress code first.
If you’re looking to invest in a true modern classic, try this purple velvet jacket from our Autograph range. Expertly crafted from pure cotton and finished with premium details such as jetted pockets, it’s sure to be the star of the show. Keep the rest of your look simple and pair with plain trousers to let the blazer take centre stage.

The going-out shirt
Want to dress to impress? Look for shirts that make a subtle statement for the festive party season. We love the eye-catching geometric print of this Autograph shirt, which will look slick paired with black trousers and smart shoes.
Trying different textures can also be a great way to add a bit of interest to your partywear wardrobe. Made with a striped ottoman weave, this textured polo shirt feels and looks smart enough for a festive soirée, but can also be dressed down. It's available in sumptuous raisin and dark pewter hues, so there's an option to go with every outfit.

The statement suit
When Christmas parties are coming thick and fast, a suit is a low-effort, high-impact choice – plus, you’re sure to wear it again and again. Go for a luxe after-dark look by pairing a tuxedo jacket with a dark shirt and velvet loafers.
This tailored puppytooth suit is another smart option. Crafted from our breathable Italian Linen Miracle fabric, it'll keep you feeling comfortable all night long. Swap a shirt for a crew-neck jumper for a contemporary take on tailoring. You could even team your suit with crisp white trainers – all the better for busting out those party dance moves.
