The craziness of the festive season is upon us. With that comes invitations to festive parties and Christmas dinners that can often crop up at the last minute. Whilst many aspects of this time of year can be stressful, one aspect that shouldn’t be is planning your festive outfits. To help ease the stress, here are six outfits to provide you with festive party inspiration…
Keep it simple
Just because it’s Christmas doesn’t mean you have to go all out with sequins, feathers, and bows. It’s more than OK to want to keep it simple. Take a leaf out of Aimee Song’s book and channel YSL for the festive season. A timeless black dress will always be perfect for any occasion, so will last you all year through.
Statement tights
Another great way to keep it simple, whilst also adding a bit of festive colour to an outfit, is to make the tights the statement. Styling a classic LBD or blazer with bright red tights like Melissa is a sure way to look elegant and effortless this season.

Lady in red
Kezia Cook is providing the ultimate inspiration for festive party outfits. Nothing says Merry Christmas like an all-red outfit. It truly is the colour of the season! Make it extra special and opt for added bows like Kezia.
Transparency, please!
Because if you can’t go ultra-sheer at Christmas then when can you? Sheer dresses are a favourite of influencers and celebrities alike. But if you’re not feeling that daring then a transparent skirt toned down with a top in a neutral shade may be the way to go.
Forget the trousers
The no-pants trend was huge this year, and it seems to be continuing through the festive season. Kezia Cook has once again nailed a festive party look in a pair of sequin hot pants. Styling the pants (or lack of) with tights will help to keep your modesty in check.

Sequins
C’mon, it wouldn’t be festive party inspiration without sequins! If you’re still unsure of what to wear even after reading this extremely helpful guide, then you really cannot go wrong with sequins. It doesn’t need to be OTT either. Take inspiration from Amy Ward and pair a sequined shirt with leather trousers for a more understated look.
