The best party wear pieces to buy now
We've chosen 12 of our favourite pieces, from high street to high-end...
Party season is well and truly upon us but, with so many party wear pieces out there, finding the right outfit can feel like a bit of a maze! So, with New Year's Eve on the horizon, we've put together 12 of our favourite party picks to buy now, from a classic LBD to jazzy sequin trousers.
With so many retailers now offering up party wear for women, there really is an event outfit for everyone. Whether you're a fan of sequins, sparkle, shimmer or shine, you'll find party dresses, tops, skirts, trousers and even jumpsuits that will all fit seamlessly into your existing wardrobe.
All you have to do is dress them up or down so you can wear them again and again. Trust us, your party wear doesn’t have to be just for Christmas! If your party piece of choice is a sequin skirt, wear it again with trainers and a knit. Gone for a trouser suit? Style it with a T-shirt and boots for work. And, who says 'party' is just for the festive season anyway? Invest in items you love and you'll want to wear them all year round. A satin slip dress could easily be used as a summer wedding outfit, while an on-trend sequin jacket can be thrown over jeans for a big birthday night out.
You don’t need to spend a fortune on a party outfit either, as there are some great finds on the high street right now. Here's out pick of the best high street and higher end party wear for women to shop now...
