Get the Party Started: Christmas Outfit Ideas

Need a special Christmas party dress that'll see you through the season? A lace-trimmed satin cocktail dress is the solution. Whether you opt for a slinky velour LBD or Autograph's coveted moss-green leather midi, you're bound to get the party started.

Alternatively, opt for a borrowed-from-the-boys single-breasted waistcoat and matching wide-leg trousers (a flattering choice on all figures). Tailoring is an on-point choice for after-work drinks – just add a showstopping pair of earrings and a swipe of red lipstick to go straight from desk to dinner.

Snap up an eye-catching evening bag to stow your essentials in style. Our stunning party bag range features an array of embellishments, colours and sizes to complete your Christmas party outfit.

Call off the search: we've found the perfect tuxedo suit for all your Christmas social engagements. In a plush velvet fabric with contrasting satin lapels, it's the ideal party outfit if you fancy ringing the changes in style. Not only does it come in three rich festive shades, it can be worn in many ways.

Try layering the tuxedo jacket with a black cotton-rich roll-neck sweater and finish with patent leather Oxford shoes for a smart gathering or dinner. Or for more formal Christmas parties, including black tie events, team with a crisp white dress shirt and complete your look with a dapper bow tie. We love this textured silk bow tie, which adds interest to formal attire. Finally, don't forget to invest in a pair of tuxedo trousers enhanced with discreet stretch that'll feel comfortable all night long.

Getting kids ready for a Christmas parties and formal get-togethers is never easy, but with our range of kids' occasionwear, you're sure to find something they'll be happy with. You'll find lots of partywear options for girls, from this pretty sequin dress with a bow on the back to a dazzling seventies-inspired sequin dress with fluted sleeves. Shiny shoes, like sparkly Mary Janes or gold ballet pumps, always add a polished edge to any girl's party outfit.

For boys, you can't go wrong with Monsoon's handy four-in-one cotton-rich suit. Team it with smart leather brogues for an effortless outfit that still looks put-together. Alternatively, ensure they look the part with a seasonal Christmas jumper and corduroy trousers.
