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 Christmas party outfits. Whether you’re searching for a work party outfit or something sparkly for a night out, here are six standout looks to provide you with festive party outfit 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 Saint Laurent for the festive season. A timeless black dress will always be perfect for any occasion, making it one of the most versatile Christmas party outfits you’ll wear all year long.
Statement Tights
Another great way to keep it simple, whilst also adding a bit of festive flair to an outfit, is to make the tights the statement. Styling a classic LBD or blazer with bright red tights like Melissa instantly turns a minimal outfit into a festive party showstopper. It’s an easy, elegant way to elevate a work party outfit without going overboard.
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. If you want to stand out at a Christmas party, this bold and confident look guarantees compliments.
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 for a holiday look.
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 while still achieving an eye-catching Christmas party outfit worthy of a night out.
Sequins
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.
