As December nears, our calendars quickly fill up with end-of-year celebrations, from New Year’s Eve bashes and cosy family gatherings to chic office parties and glitzy balls. Whatever the occasion may be, it’s all about bringing a little extra sparkle, sophistication and personality to this season’s festivities. That’s why we’ve put together a selection of party-perfect outfits that are sure to make you stand out in every crowd. There’s something for everyone, from dazzling sequins and lush velvet to timeless classics and unexpected twists, these nine ensembles are just as eye-catching as they are chic.
1. Sequin Top + Feather-Trim Skirt
Sequins and feathers — this is what the party season is all about! Keeping it on the minimalist side while still getting in the festive mood, this outfit sees a black feather-trim skirt paired with a black sequin top. Finish the look with a pair of simple strappy sandals and a chain-detail bag.
2. Feather-Trim Top + Sequin Skirt
Who can resist a feather trim anything come party season? For a chic and easy look, pair a glamorous sequin-covered skirt with a feather-trim top, finished with a pair of sleek suede mules. Add a simple clutch and you’re ready for any festivity the season throws at you.
3. Matching Velvet Co-ord
Why not go for a matching co-ord this party season? Imagined in a rich red hue, this sumptuously soft two-piece is made from smooth velvet. Add a little sparkle with crystal earrings for a sophisticated and festive look.
4. Satin Camisole + Satin Trousers
For a luxurious festive look think faux fur and satin. Pair a lace-trim camisole with matching satin trousers in white combined with a lush faux fur jacket. Finish the look with slender strappy sandals and an understated clutch bag.
5. Sequin Tank Top + Sequin Skirt
The key to balancing a detail-heavy look, such as sequins, is to counter it with simple silhouettes. Here, for example, this sequin-covered duo still feels effortlessly cool thanks to the casual tank top silhouette and classic straight midi skirt.
6. Turtleneck + Sequin Skirt
For those whose wardrobes are filled with 99% black and white clothing, you needn’t alter your tastes to join in on the festivities. For a simple party-ready look, pair your trusty black turtleneck with a long skirt covered in dazzling white sequins.
7. Silver Sequinned Dress
What’s more festive than a party frock covered in sequins? Given the amount of shimmer and shine going on, a dress like this requires very little styling — stick to some black strappy heels and a simple shoulder bag and you’re ready to boogie the night away.
8. Blazer + Lace Trousers
If sparkles aren’t your thing, opt for a sleek all-black look like this one. The trick is to play with textures — a soft silk camisole combined with lace trousers creates dimension, richness and femininity. Finish the look with metal accents like this gold handle clutch bag.
9. Red Statement Dress
Free from ruffles, sequins or embellishments, that’s exactly why this dress makes such a statement. Its clean and simple silhouette in a fiery red hue is forever timeless, classic and bold. Add a touch of sparkle by way of some dangling rhinestone earrings and a sparkling clutch.
