We’ve been inspired by the outfits Lara wore in her Vogue photoshoot and it’s really given us a feel for Christmas party outfits.

At some point in the month, or even perhaps New Years Eve, we’ll have to put on more than a pair of jeans to go to a party, especially if its a big posh do. But we know finding an outfit that doesn’t look too mumsy or too over the top can be hard.

We’ve therefore put together a gallery of smart Christmas party outfits, which will have you looking like the stylish belle of the ball, and remember, you don’t have to wear a long frock to look the posh part either.
