Guess what? It’s nearly Christmas! And with work dos, nights out, family get-togethers and New Year’s Eve plans filling up our December diaries, it’s time to start planning our Christmas party outfits.
But finding the right look is all about dressing for the occasion. Your office party fit will be different from what you wear on a night out or to a family Christmas gathering, for example. Read on to see our top Christmas party picks for this festive season.
Christmas party outfits for every festive plan
Before deciding what to wear to a Christmas party, it’s a good idea to think about where you’re going and what everyone else might wear to make sure you nail the dress code. Here’s what we’re wearing to the biggest dates in our festive calendar.
What to wear to a work Christmas party
The best work Christmas party outfit feels noticeably more special than your usual nine-to-five wardrobe, but still stays polished and professional. Here are two looks we love.
The Velvet Hotfix Underbust Midaxi Dress in Burgundy
Our burgundy velvet midaxi dress has a rich texture that feels instantly festive, hotfix embellishments for extra sparkle, and a longer length that keeps things suitably sophisticated. All you need to do is add a pair of stylish kitten heels and some simple jewellery and head out the door.
The Sequin Wide Leg Trousers in Charcoal Grey & The Signature Soft Slash Neck Jumper in Black
Not a dress person? Our sequin wide-leg trousers make the perfect party statement without showing loads of skin. Style them with our signature slash-neck jumper, some open-toe kitten heels and a clutch for the perfect party-ready look that still feels put together.
What to wear for a Christmas night out
For festive cocktails, dinner and drinks or a night out with friends on the dance floor, you can afford to be much bolder. Think head-to-toe sequins and statement faux fur that would be too much for the office but works perfectly after dark. Here are our top going out-out looks.
The High Neck Sequin Mini Dress in Bronze
Nothing says December quite like a sequin dress. Our stylish mini in festive bronze works perfectly with heels and a faux fur coat to bring the wow factor you’re looking for. Just keep your accessories pared back and let the sparkle do the talking.
The Sequin Shell Top & Shorts Co-ord & The Faux Fur Collared Coat in Charcoal Grey
Take your Christmas outfit to the next level with our sequin shell top and shorts co-ord. This matching party look in classic black can be styled with simple heels, minimal jewellery and our charcoal grey faux fur coat for a look that works from bar to club.
What to wear to a family Christmas gathering
Not every Christmas get-together calls for a party dress. Think family lunches, afternoon celebrations and casual drinks where you want to look festive but also feel comfortable. Here are two easy looks for your upcoming plans.
The Knitted Sequin Slash Neck Jumper in Berry Red & The Split Hem Capri Trousers in Black
Our knitted sequin jumper in berry red is an easy way to bring some sparkle into a more relaxed outfit, especially when paired with our trending capri trousers. You still get that party-season feel without looking overdressed for daytime plans.
The Lace Trim Hem Mini Jumper Dress in Black
For an outfit you can simply pull on and go, choose a knitted mini dress with subtle embellishments, like our lace trim hem mini jumper dress in black. All you need to do is add some knee-high or ankle boots (and tights if it’s cold) for an easy middle ground between everyday knitwear and eveningwear.
What to wear on New Year’s Eve
New Year’s Eve is the perfect time to make a huge statement, so why not let metallic finishes and fun silhouettes do the talking? Whether you’re heading somewhere glamorous for the evening or just want to make midnight with friends feel like an occasion, here are two incredible looks you won’t want to miss.
The Sequin Mini Swing Skirt in Burgundy & The Velvet Bow Kitten Heels in Black
Our stylish sequin swing skirt in burgundy is made for shouting Happy New Year in, especially when paired with our velvet bow kitten heels. Add a long-sleeve black top or cami and some statement earrings for a classic NYE combination that knows how to turn heads.
The Funnel Neck Metallic Midaxi Dress in Bronze
If you prefer a longer silhouette, why not swap the mini skirt for our metallic midaxi dress? This chic look brings the shine without relying on sequins, and has a sleek shape and trending funnel neckline to keep things stylish and sophisticated. Pair yours with boots and understated jewellery to bring on 2027 in style.
How to style your Christmas party outfit
Once you’ve found your perfect outfit, it’s time to think about the finishing touches.
If your outfit already has plenty of sparkle, it’s best to keep your jewellery simple. A pair of earrings and a delicate necklace is often enough to build a co-ordinated look that doesn’t take away from your statement fit. Likewise, black or metallic bags are easy to pair with all our festive combinations.
For shoes, kitten heels work particularly well with midi and maxi dresses, while a higher heel can dress up wide-leg trousers or a mini skirt. If you’re heading to a more relaxed gathering, ankle or knee-high boots make a great alternative.
And don’t forget a coat or jacket! Our faux fur options add texture and warmth while still feeling dressy enough to wear over any Christmas party outfit.
