HATE SEQUINS? THESE PARTY LOOKS DON’T NEED THEM
By Emma Strawbridge, 2 December 2024

TINSEL TEXTURES
Who needs sequins when you’ve got tinsel? Look to texture as your statement-maker this season. This chocolate brown Topshop co-ord does just that thanks to the tinsel-like fabric. Give the outfit a modern finish with slick accessories and a pair of loafers (think of the comfort, too).

Topshop tinsel co-ord, from £28
& Other Stories leather patent loafers in burgudy, £145
Valentino frequency textured grab bag with crossbody strap in black, £159

THE NEW LBD
We’ve seen scarf details taking over the runways, and now they’re infiltrating our LBDs. This satin dress has a halterneck with extra-long ties that replicate the scarf aesthetic. Make it graphic and bring dimension by teaming it with enamel bangles and metallic heels.

METALLIC MOMENT
Sheer pieces make the perfect party-season outfit, and this knitted top from COLLUSION has silver threads woven throughout for a touch of shimmer. Team it with a simple bralette and trousers for a tailored look, then add matching metal accessories to complement the silver of the top.
