What’s a Christmas party wardrobe without some (serious) sparkle and razzmatazz? We’ve raided Moda Operandi’s occasion wear must-haves to find the ultimate festive party wear for December.
From sequin Strictly pants to tomboy party blazers, there’s something for everyone – no matter what your sparkly tolerance level.
Time to go chasing glitterballs…
How to do selfie-worthy sequins.
We get a gold rush just looking at this Midas touch number. With this much bling and that statement neckline, it’s like dress meets jewellery all rolled into one.
The Earrings
Cancel the Christmas tree decorations.
Who needs ‘em when you’ve got this level of bling hanging from your lobes. The mixed metallics mean they’ll go with/upstage pretty much any party frock.
The Pants
As the ‘Cha Cha Cha’ name suggests…
These pants wouldn’t look out of place on Strictly Come Dancing (we’d give them a 10). They even have tactical side splits for your party heels swoon. Tone them down with a cashmere knit around the Christmas dinner table.
If Mrs Claus wore heels, we imagine it might be these.
The Clutch
The only box that we want to be opening this Christmas (please, Santa)…
This embellished box clutch is big enough for your keys, credit card and lipstick – and pretty enough to stop everyone in their tracks at 10 paces. Obsessed.
The Blazer
Meet every tomboy’s solution to party wear.
This jacquard blazer is low-key but statement all at the same time. Plus, it comes with matching kick-flare pants. Go forth and co-ord…
The Heels
If Mrs Claus wore heels, we imagine it might be these Attico delights.
And she’d probably get an Uber to her Christmas parties… From the red velvet to the gem embellishments, they have Christmas written all over them. Just don’t forget that pre-party pedi.
The Gown
Q: How to do winter blooms for 2018?
A: Embellishments on your gown, like so. This sleek column dress keeps your silhouette streamlined in black, but brings ALL the drama via the statement floral embroidery.
…its’ pretty enough to stop everyone in their tracks
The Jacket
Let’s be real.
Going out in December requires a warm, fuzzy jacket – this one’s both fun and practical. The cropped length of this faux fur number will show off your party frock to the max.
The Jumpsuit
We get it, party frocks and sequins aren’t for everyone.
Take to the dance floor in this silky, wide-leg jumpsuit instead. The clever smocked detailing means it’ll happily accommodate your Christmas ‘do canapés.
