Think velvet, silk, satin and sequins: the fabric will beautifully catch those festive lights. A sequin mini dress or a velvet blazer is glam without feeling overwhelming, while a silk blouse or satin camisole, paired with tailored trousers, is ideal for those who prefer subtle elegance.

Eye-catching accessories – drop earrings, layered necklaces or even a jewel-studded belt – are the easiest way to effortlessly transform your look, turning even a simple black dress into a party-worthy gown. Meanwhile, a sequin-encrusted handbag adds glamour day and night.

Your sartorial first impression, the sneak peek into your personality: trust us, the coat counts. Especially when your dazzling party outfit is hiding underneath. Look for outerwear that adds to your ensemble – think a fluffy coat or a metallic trench – for a dramatic entrance.

The finishing touch to every outfit, a beautifully designed shoe has unlimited slip-on-and-go appeal – and it’ll be comfortable enough to dance all night in. This season, metallic and velvet styles steal the show, so pair silver loafers or leather brogues with trousers and opt for studded platform heels (softer on your feet) with your best dancing dress.

Your outfit is ready and waiting – now it’s just a swipe of make-up, if that’s your thing, to make you feel great. While you can go playful and bold with red lipstick and smoky eyes, a subtle shimmering highlighter might be enough if your clothes are already packing sparkle power.
