Fanciful and fabulous, this is your free pass to go all out with the same high-octane levels of glamour as the Met Gala. Think floor-sweeping numbers in moonlight hues – swirling silk, satin and tulle – set against a backdrop of sharply tailored suits for gentlemen.

Dinner parties offer a more intimate, relaxed celebration and at-home entertaining requires ease. Loose-fitting lounge suits, smooth satin – anything that’ll keep you comfortable during an evening of food, fun and festivity is a win in our books.

Become office gossip fodder for all the right reasons with a luxe wardrobe of blazers, tailored trousers and silk. These are the perfect building blocks to layer festive shimmer on – think a brocade print, metallic knit or sequin vest as the finishing touch.

Think of your perennial wardrobe favourites, with added pizazz. Gold embroidery, luxury leather handbags and a smattering of sequins scream “Oh this old thing?” when worn with your cosiest cardigan and distressed jeans. Perfect for brunch and lunch celebrations with friends.

A chance to shrug off the stress and let loose with a whiskey sour: cocktail parties are our favourite of all festivities. Sure, your faithful LBD matches the dress code, but we’re bookmarking a luxurious velvet jumpsuit instead, for a one-piece wonder to turn to time and time again.
