5 chic party outfit ideas to help you celebrate in style this Christmas
Wondering what to wear this Christmas party season? From high party energy to low key looks, these showstopper pieces serve both ends of the celebration spectrum and can be effortlessly combined with a mix of heartwarming knits, smart tuxes, silky pyjamas and frothy feathers.
Here are the best Christmas party outfit ideas to wear this year...
Christmas party outfits: The statement dress
The perfect statement dress is a Christmas party season staple you can pull out year after year. Not only does it mean minimal effort for maximum pay-off in the style stakes, there's also plenty of ways to rework it to keep it feeling new and exciting. It's a match made in heaven for a tux jacket and killer molten-metallic boots, or a cocktail coat and satin mules. Staying in? Simply swap in an oversized knit cardigan and fancy slippers to channel 1920s Hollywood glamour in absolute comfort.
Christmas party outfits: The showstopper skirt
A hero skirt can deliver on opulence in any number of ways to suit the dress code. Layer up with a preppy argyle jumper for the sparkle without the need to stand on ceremony. Going maximalist? A pair of amazing platform heels and an equally dazzling bag will match the drama for a statuesque silhouette.
Christmas party outfits: The party trousers
This year’s answer to party pants is high shine all the way. Black gloss can replace your plain tuxedo trousers to be worn with a silky blouse or a YSL style 'Le Smoking' jacket (extra style points if it's cream with black lapels). Or Mint Velvet's subtle gold pair can add a touch of ski-fever with a Fair Isle knit and Moon Boots for a new take on getting all dressed up. If you're wedded to sequins for your fancy pants, trying something unexpected; dark green will set you apart from the crowd.
Christmas party outfits: The dressy top
If your winning party combination is 'jeans and a nice top' then having a few of these options in your wardrobe will see you through the festive season without breaking a sweat. Keep it interesting with plenty of indulgent fabrics in your arsenal; feather trims, balloon sleeved satin, and all-over sequins. Going party-casual? swap jeans for cotton PJ bottoms for a texture clash that makes for an intriguing mix. Equally, throw something just as sparkly into the equation to dial up the wow factor, and finish with a well-placed hair clip.
Christmas party outfits: The luxe suit
Luxe suits and co-ords have become the party saviour for those who don't do dresses (or just want to be a bit warmer!). They look great with an asymmetric party top layered over a plain white tee, or simply stick to an out-of-sight bralette. Channel Gwyneth Paltrow's iconic red velvet suit for a break from the usual monochrome, or step out in something more striking – Sleeper's leopard print set is right on trend.
