19 Hero Party Dressing Buys For All Budgets
By Sarah Macken
Party season is here and we’ve saved these hero buys from Massimo Dutti, Sister Jane, Arket, Totême and more …
Party dressing season is perhaps the most joyful time of the year – if you get on board with it. Our advice? It’s best not to resist the fact that you need some kind of fancy top to go with jeans, a good (preferably, stunning!) dress, an evening bag and a pair of heels that won’t assassinate your instep. Whether you recycle these from previous years, shop pre-loved or invest in some considered pieces, go big on textures. Plush velvet, decadent feathers and shimmering sequins (as well as glistening metallics, of course) are all part of the fun. As are great faux fur coats, remixed pearls (think: cool, not traditional shapes) and ankle boots with of-the-moment square toes. Shop an edit of our favourite party dressing heroes below.
