Christmas party outfits: Tops

The top is the unsung hero of the party outfit. While dresses and shoes get all the attention, tops are working just as hard to make you look good this Christmas, so we’ve put together this gallery of party-ready tops.

Buying one party top means you can rewear it in loads of different ways without losing the impact. They’re also a good and usually cheap way to update your wardrobe, without having to buy a whole new outfit. As always, sequins, lace and classic (but dramatic) black are things to look out for, and try pairing these tops with miniskirts, leggings or jeans – the possibilities are almost endless.

Christmas party outfits: Velvet dresses

When we think about Christmas, the first thing that comes to our minds is party outfits.

And we’ve noticed this is the same with most of you, with many people asking what outfits are hot this year on Twitter.

We’ve covered many different styles, which are perfect for the Christmas season but one trend that has made a big appearance in the past few months is velvet.

Many highstreet stores have embraced this style adding velvet trims to blazers and pushing out velvet trousers, which look like they’ve come straight out of the 70s.

However we think the best thing about this trend is the gorgeous range of dresses, which are perfect for a smart/casual looking Christmas outfit. Team up with heels and chunky jewellery to really make a statement this season.

Christmas party outfits: Clutch bags

Are you the type of girl who only takes their essentials with them to a party, effortlessly knowing exactly what you’ll need that night? Or are you, like me, someone who can’t work out which bits of makeup to pack, or whether or not you really need to stuff your digital camera into that elegant little clutch bag? Unfortunately, clutches are often the only way to really perfect a special outfit, because there’s something just that little bit more classy about casually tucking your bag under your arm while you sip at a martini.

So, despite their inconvenient size, here are some of the most desirable evening clutches on the high street now. They’re big enough for your phone, keys, credit card, compact and lipstick (which is, by the way, supposedly all you’ll need). These clutches are all party-ready, but most of them will be wearable well after Christmas is over – classic designs and detailing means a few of them are suitable for daywear too.

Christmas party outfits: Very high heels

By lotte on November 16th, 2009

We’ve covered a lot of the essentials for Christmas party style over the last couple of weeks, but now it’s time for the most important part of any outfit: the shoes.

Heels are as high as they’ve ever been this year, and our picks reflect that. Whether you need a pair to ramp up an outfit from a 10 to an 11 on the oufit-ometer, or just to complete an already glittery and over-the-top ensemble, one thing the shoes have to be is towering. If there was ever a time to get out your shoes that are a bit uncomfortable but make your legs look amazing, Christmas is the time. (Just remember to buy some Party Feet gel insoles.)

And if you’re worried about the risk to your ankles after you’ve had one too many glasses of champagne, we’ve included some shoes you can fit in your party bag to change into at the end of the night.

Metallics (especially gold) and different textures are hot this season. See if any of these heels work with your party outfits.

Jumpsuits and playsuits have bounced back in from the 80s and landed firmly in the midst of this season’s popular styles.

Many celebs have been spotted wearing this debatable fashion including Sarah Harding who celebrated the opening of her new nightclub in a striking blue jumpsuit.

And as you can imagine, many designers have made them key parts of their collection, including Zandra Rhodes who designed a range of theses for Marks and Spencer.

If you want to stand out in style at this year’s Christmas party then this is a fashion trend that will really get everyone talking.

We have a look at the best jumpsuits and playsuits available on the highstreet.

We’re not sure about you, but the days when we could go to a winter party wearing next to nothing have long gone, and going out without a jacket is unthinkable.

While we know you’ll want to show off that new dress or short sleeved top at this years Christmas party, remember, no matter how much you drink inside you’ll still feel the cold once you leave.

We know big bulky jackets won’t say much about an outfit but what about a blazer? Not only a key trend this winter, these jackets can be paired up with smart or casual dresses, skirts and jeans to accentuate your outfit and keep you warm in a stylish manner.

We’ve put together the top ten must haves for your Christmas party outfits.

Smart Christmas outfits for posh parties

By Andrea Petrou on November 11th, 2009

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.

Model Lara Stone is clearly putting her stamp on the fashion world.

She’s been signed up as the face of Louis Vuitton and now we’ve come across this gorgeous fashion shoot she’s done for the December edition of UK Vogue.

Shot by Mario Testino, Lara wears a range of satin, silk and feathered ball gowns with fitted bodices, which we think really brings home what Christmas party outfits are all about.

We can’t wait to get hold of a copy, but here’s a few of the pictures to keep you going until then.

Christmas is fast approaching bringing with it the flurry of gifts, Christmas lists and unfortunately, pre festive party outfit panic.

Although we’ve had our Christmas list ready since August (what can we say? We know what we want), we are ashamed to admit we haven’t even thought about the outfits we’ll be donning for all the Christmas fun.

Therefore, for those who are as lax as we are, we’ll be putting together some Christmas outfit galleries in the the lead up to the festive month to help you celebrate in style. First up is the spangly 80s sequin look, which is perfect for a weekend party in a bar, club or smartish restaurant.

Stand out with this style by choosing unique accessories that suit your personality for a unique 80s sequined look.
