Our Fashion Editor’s Party Style Guide
It’s party season, and we’re here to make sure you’re ready for every festive invitation. From shimmering sequins and luxurious velvet to statement bows and sharp tailoring, this year’s trends are all about combining classic elegance with a bold, playful edge. Our Fashion Editor has handpicked her favourite pieces to help you achieve those dream dancefloor looks with ease.
ALL THAT SPARKLES
Sequin mini dresses are an easy staple every year but longer silhouettes are this season’s standout. Red is a key colour right now - I love the red sequin slip midi, paired with matching slingbacks for a flattering but eye-catching silhouette.

A STATEMENT BOW
Bows are back in a big way, bringing playful elegance to party outfits. No longer just for accessorising your hair, they’ve become a statement piece for this season’s occasions. Pair one of the season's hottest pieces - the little black bow blazer - with a matching dress for an effortlessly chic party look.

FEATHER FRENZY
Find a party trend that's more fabulous than feathers! To me, it’s an instant win on the dancefloor, adding movement and glamour to any outfit for an unforgettable night out.
TOUCH OF LUXE
This year, velvet is looking even better with a hint of nostalgic sheer. Our velvet maxi dress, with its see-through hemline, is so distinctly '90s and an absolute favourite for the party season. Add kitten heels to top off this stylish throwback look.
PASTEL PARTY
Icy hues like cream and frosted pink wouldn’t be your first thought heading into our colder months, but these combinations have serious staying power. Amp up the glam side of the pretty colours by choosing satin, 3D detailing and sparkles - and have your own Barbie ‘Dance the night away’ sequence!

POLISHED TAILORING
Is there anything more sophisticated than a sharply tailored suit? For those who prefer polished over OTT, we’re loving sharp tailoring in clean colours like white, cream, and black. My favourite is this cream number, best paired with nothing underneath.
If you’re feeling daring, our see-through lace trousers offer a sexy twist on the classic when paired with an ‘80s power blazer - another key decade to celebrate this season.
