Party Dresses

Sequins, Satin And Zero Regrets

Start with the plan. Club night? A sequin mini dress or a cut-out mini is the whole personality. Dinner first? A satin midi dress or a bodycon dress in classic black is a timeless choice, taking you from cocktails to the dancefloor without a change. Black tie, wedding or a night that needs a bit of drama? Bring in a floor-sweeping maxi dress in a slinky material, velvet or satin, and let her do the talking. Not feeling a dress? A jumpsuit or playsuit does glam just as well and actively encourages a boogie. 

How To Style A Party Night Dress

The dress is obviously the main character, but you still need to keep the supporting accessories sharp. Heels come first, then a bag: a small shoulder bag or a clutch hold the essentials and look good doing it. Add oversized hoops or a layered necklace, and skip anything that competes with the sparkle. Cold night? A faux fur jacket adds glam and takes the goosebumps out of the queue.

FAQs

Are sequins just for Christmas?

Not even close. Sequins are a year-round move: birthdays, hen dos, New Year's Eve, a random Thursday that got out of hand. Christmas just gives them the most airtime. Wear a sequin dress with heels for the full effect, or dial it down with a denim jacket and boots.

What colour party dress is best?

Black, always. A black party dress works with every shoe, bag, and mood you own. Want more of a moment? Red, silver, and metallics catch the light in all the right ways, and a jewel tone always looks expensive.

What shoes go with a party dress?

Heels, mostly. A strappy heel or sharp court shoes keeps things looking insane with a mini or midi, and block heels win if you plan on dancing until the lights come on. Knee-high boots are another sultry option with a mini, especially in the colder seasons. And if there's a taxi home? Go as high as you like!
