Monochrome

With many influencers choosing minimalist fashion, this party season, opt for an all white fit which has a timeless and sophisticated appeal, providing a clean canvas for additional accessorising. When accessorising, opt for pearls to subtly complement the white and the crisp, fresh look of white aligns with the festive and winter wonderland aesthetics associated with the holiday period.”

Sequins and metallics 

“With more than 21 million views, sequins and metallics are Christmas party season classics, and can add a touch of glamour and sparkle to a festive outfit. These materials catch and reflect light, making them perfect for the holiday season parties. When it comes to styling opt for a sequin skirt or dress and pair it with block colour accessories so you don’t draw attention away from the sequin staple. When adding jewellery, pick understated pieces to not overshadow the sequins of the outfit. You can also experiment with wearing silver and gold pieces together, such as a silver sequin skirt with gold jewellery for a dynamic contrast. ”

Quiet luxury

“Quiet luxury has also been dominating TikTok this year since Sofia Richie brought this trend to life being a style characterised by understated elegance, minimalism and a focus on high-quality materials. During the party season quiet luxury is all about neutrals and classics so it’s important to pick beautiful good quality fabrics in muted colourways. Quality fabrics such as satin and velvet scream luxury and are fashionable choices during the party season. Gold jewellery is a big part of the look and when accessorising opt for opaque gems such as classic pearls as opposed to coloured gemstones. The style represents sophistication so it’s essential to keep the outfit simplistic to exude luxury.”

Pop of red

“Red is synonymous with the festive season, making it a perfect choice for party occasions. When it comes to adding a pop of red to an outfit, keep the base simple such as an all black fit and then partner with a red jacket or red accessories. To create a statement, opt for red leather trousers for boldness, instantly sparking attention and making a striking look.”

Statement jewellery 

“Statement jewellery pieces have the power to instantly elevate and transform an outfit, adding a touch of sophistication and festive flair. During the festive season, accessorise your party looks with accessories such as initial necklaces and diamond bracelets that provide an opportunity for eye-catching designs and intricate details. Give a nod to the festive season by opting for gemstones such as rubies and emeralds to really capture the essence of Christmas time within your outfit “
