Christmas Party Outfits
The festive season calls for Christmas party outfits with sparkle. Have fun with our partywear, from showstopping accessories for the office quiz to a stunning dress for cocktails with friends
Dress to impress (yourself) all season long
Christmas is as good a reason as any to go for all-out glamour and add some sparkle to your social feeds, whether it’s with a festive red mini dress, a shimmering satin jumpsuit or a dazzling jewel-toned velvet trouser suit. No matter how you’re celebrating this year – with cocktails or party games – stunning Christmas party dresses and jumpsuits are a zero-fuss way to go from sofa to social. Plus, they don’t have to compromise on comfort (look for relaxed shapes and stretch fabrics) and can be dressed down, if desired, for more casual gatherings. Just add tights and chunky boots and throw a jumper or blazer on top to keep the feelgood factor flowing long after party season has ended.
Showstopping accessories for adding sparkle
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 diamante clutch, like this twinkling fold-over design by Ted Baker. An embellished headband in velvet or satin will crown your outfit and prove itself a reliable icebreaker. Elevating your hair accessories is a foolproof way to switch from work to party mode: our satin bows and beaded hair slides add flair to even the most basic desk-to-dinner outfits. If in doubt, wear head-to-toe black or red and get cocktail-ready in seconds with a swipe of red lipstick. Et voilà.
Office party? Give the mirror ball a run for its money
Our favourite go-to party outfit formula is fancy on top and comfy on the bottom, or vice versa. Attention-grabbing sequinned blazers, glitzy skirts and are a festive-season classic. And with all eyes drawn to the sparkly garment you are wearing, keep things simple elsewhere. Think a plush cashmere crew-neck sweater paired with dancefloor-ready sequinned wide-leg trousers. Or, if you’re heading to your work Christmas party straight from the office, jazz up a sleek white shirt with Autograph's covetable silver tasselled sequin skirt and sharp black court heels.
