How to style yourself and your home for the party season
STYLE19 November 2024
As party season approaches, add a dose of glitz and glamour to your wardrobe – and interiors – for a truly festive feel. Now’s the time to polish up and pull out all the stops when it comes to entertaining in style.
Embrace luxurious fabrics

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.

NEOM

Real Luxury 1 Wick Scented Candle
INTERIORS TIP

Just like jewellery can complete your look, so too can fragrance lift an atmosphere. Choose candles with warm, inviting scents such as cinnamon, pine, vanilla and sandalwood for a cosy feel. We love this one from NEOM.

Add some sparkle

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.

Consider the outdoors

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.

Kilkenny Design

Frosted Pearl and Mistletoe Wreath
INTERIORS TIP

Even if you’re celebrating indoors, you can bring an element of nature inside using wreaths, such as this from Christmas by Kilkenny Design, and garlands. Use them creatively around mirrors, on mantels, or as a runner on the dining table.

ENTERTAINING TIP

Music, especially at Christmas, can make or break a party. Switch up the Christmas tunes with some old favourites to get people dancing – but keep the volume low enough that conversation flows.

Keep things comfortable

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.

Don’t forget the finishing touches

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.

Glass Set
INTERIORS TIP

Your finishing touches should be about creating a fun, welcoming atmosphere. Consider a well-styled drinks station or bar cart – using colourful glassware and festive garnishes such as cranberries, sprigs of rosemary or cinnamon sticks – to complete the mood.
