What we’re shopping from the M&S Christmas partywear range

Stun in velvet with this ‘midaxi’ column dress. The vertical seam adds a little extra detail to the silhouette, and the simple neckline is just crying out for a pair of glitzy dangly earrings We’re big fans of the golden bauble ones the brand has styled it with.

The material is stretchy for added comfort, which is exactly what we want during cosy season.

A winter wardrobe isn’t complete without a statement knit, and this star-studded one is a nice nod to festivities without being too in your face. Not that there’s anything wrong with that at this time of year...It's also available in gold, if you prefer.

This gorgeous sequin blouse with bow embellishments is selling out fast but it's still available in many of the regular sizes, so you can nab it if you act fast. We'd pair it with some tailored black trousers and kitten heels for very stylish nights out.

Sequins are as synonymous with Christmas as turkey and mulled wine. This dazzling midi skirt is the perfect party piece, and the tasselled detail is guaranteed to catch the eye when you’re walking or dancing your way through the crowd.

Glitzy chic with a dash of A-list glamour? It must be the Sienna x M&S range range. Inspired by Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust era, this dress is made for the party season, with its red, green and gold sequins, all tied together with a lovely velvet bow.

Pair it with some tights and boots, and you’ve got yourself the ultimate festive ‘fit.

These embellished, diamanté kitten heels are the embodiment of twinkle toes. They’ll elevate an evening look, and they're comfy enough so you can dance all night.

Be a vision of celestial wonder from head (earlobe?) to toe, with these dazzling drop star earrings. The perfect finishing touch.

Another show-stopping skirt from our high-street favourite. We love the dramatic fringe detail on this midaxi skirt – pair with a fine black polo or a simple white T-shirt.

It may look like a simple, contemporary shift dress from the front, but you'll wow them as you walk away with a gorgeous statement bow on the back. Wear with sheer black tights and party flats.

Want to add some sparkle to your favourite jeans and a nice top? This sequin cape is the ultimate party piece. Fling it on for trips to the pub or your favourite restaurant over the festive season.

If sequins aren’t your thing, then a foil-printed design is the next best eye-catching option. This dress combines comfort and style, thanks to the loose-fitting, breathable fabric and three-quarter-length, pretty bell sleeves. The hemmed waist is extremely flattering, too.

All eyes will be on you in this red sequin midaxi skirt. You could dress it down with a muted knit on top, but we'd be tempted to go for a tonal look with a chunky flame red knit. Handily, M&S has just the jumper...

Did someone say twinkle toes? These metallic kitten heels are great for adding a touch of shimmer to any all-black outfits, or double down with some silver trousers.

Keep cosy during cold December nights out with this beautiful faux fur jacket. It quickly sold out in the oxblood shade, the colour of the season, so be quick to snap up the grey version, which is just as fun and the ultimate affordable bit of glamour – another surefire sell-out.

Match your shoes with this metallic leather, grab bag for ultimate glitz and glam. ‘Tis the silver season, after all.

We love the deep green of this long sleeve sequin top. Wear with your favourite jeans or tailored trousers, or snap up the matching wide-leg sequin trousers for a comfy, yet chic party look that can be mixed and matched throughout party season.
