Planning your party outfits for the festive season? Rule number one is to find a sublime dress that you know will see you through the party period (and beyond). What’s on trend now? Unsurprisingly, the best partywear leans into classic colours and silhouettes. Black sequin styles abound, as well as hints of popping lipstick red, meanwhile strapless shapes are the outliers if you’re looking for a piece that leans into high-octane glamour. If you’re looking for a piece that will move perfectly from day to night, try a midaxi dress with long sleeves – it pairs equally as well with flats as it does ladylike heels.
