Casual Christmas party outfits
The key to a party-friendly but future-proof outfit is to focus on balance, picking items that blend luxe detailing with timeless designs. Take this dazzling red jumper – it’s a classic that will work from Christmas Day through to New Year’s Eve. Satin blouses or pleated midi skirts in luxurious fabrics look effortlessly chic and are fancy enough for kitchen discos while also being relaxed enough for day-to-night wear. A velvet blazer pairs perfectly with a glass of prosecco, but also looks just as good with a white T-shirt, vintage-wash jeans and trainers. Meanwhile, a patterned cashmere knit dresses up leather trousers and will keep you cosy until spring.
Festive accessories for Christmas parties
Adding statement accessories and jewellery is a fuss-free and budget-friendly way to give your look an upgrade. Demand attention with a show-stealing evening bag in a jewel tone or opt for a chain-detailed clutch. An embellished headband in velvet or satin will crown your outfit and prove itself a reliable icebreaker. Diamanté always looks good during the festive season, and a sleek hair clip adds a modern aesthetic.
