The festive season is a great time to enjoy getting dressed up in your favourite party looks.
And, if you've sorted your outfits for any festive parties and for Christmas Day, you may have started to think about what you'll wear for the next big event: New Year's Eve.
If you're searching for inspiration, favourite high street retailer, M&S, have shared some bold, bright and beautiful outfit ideas for New Year's Eve. Whether you're looking for a show-stopping dress or sleek blouse and trouser combination, the retailer has you covered.
Taking to Instagram, the brand shared a video with party style inspiration, saying: "A vibrant blouse and standout dress to get you noticed this New Year’s Eve."
The first look in the video showcases the Tie Neck Long Sleeve Blouse. This blouse boasts a whole host of flattering features, including an on-trend tie neckline, button cuffs and long sleeves. Its striking, bright gold colour will make for a bold and elegant look. Simply pair with black trousers, like in the social media video, and your favourite party flats.
The Tie Neck Long Sleeve Blouse is available in sizes 6 - 24 and costs £45.
Also included in the video is the stunning Striped Round Neck Midi Tea Dress. The dress takes advantage of a stylish and flattering striped design and its 3/4 length, volume sleeves and midi length make for a striking and elegant look. Pair with anything from boots to trainers and a pair of statement earrings.
The Striped Round Neck Midi Tea Dress is available in sizes 6 - 24 and comes in petite, regular and long fits. Plus, at under £40, we think it's a brilliant price for a chic and versatile piece.
