WHAT'S YOUR PARTY PERSONALITY?
What is your party personality?
Dare we say it? The festive season is almost here. But before the turkeys, and the puddings, and the presents, come the parties! So to help get the wardrobe Christmas-ready, we’ve selected our favourite pieces for every kind of party animal – which personality are you?
Party Planner
When the party invites are piling up and your outfit planning needs its own algorithm, it’s time to bring in the co-ords. In combination with a couple of separates, a matching set or two will offer you a host of ensembles that’ll see you right through the party season. A simple but elegant co-ord in block colour, such as our Pia side-stripe trousers and Winnie t-shirt will offer maximum flexibility. Amp up the drama by mixing in a statement print – try our Florence trousers and/or Poppy blouse.

It’s not like you need an excuse, but Christmas is the ultimate opportunity to sparkle. Sequins are a must of course - channel the slinky shimmer of the 70s with an embellished jumpsuit or co-ord such as our Chloe and Pia combination. Metallic fabrics are another great option - the golden tones in our Laura dress gives fashion-favourite leopard print the perfect party twist.
Jingle Belle
Snow-laden forests, gingerbread cottages and enchantment in the air: if you love the fairytale romance of winter, then dreamy tulle and lace will sweep you off your feet. The softness of a full tulle skirt works beautifully with a delicate top – try our Taylor vest or a sheer knit. For all-out swoon factor, mix tulle with lace - try a straighter skirt such as our tiered Pearl design. Lace’s intricacy is also useful for softening the strong lines of a suit or tailored trousers. Match our Layla lace top with our Cecile cigarette pants and black accessories or with our Leah wide leg trousers and some gold.

Femme Natale
Dreaming of a white Christmas? Bring the glamour of Hollywood’s golden age to your party dressing for ensembles with serious star power. Our Zadie tulle and sequin skirt with a fitted top or knit will create the iconic hourglass silhouette with sparkle. Just add a wide belt to enhance the effect. Or for a sharper, more masculine take, tap into the trend for evening suits with our classic Cecile cigarette trousers and Luna waistcoat. Feel free to add in a shirt and jacket or keep it stripped back and simple for maximum effect.

If you like to bring the cosy to Christmas conviviality, then introduce a knit into your evening ensemble. Swap your normal party top for a fine knit, such as our Iggy sheer rib jumper, or instead of a blazer, try a smart knitted jacket. Big dramatic skirts work well with chunky sweaters for a look that’s equal parts warm and wafty. Meanwhile, party pants gain some added chic from a simple black roll neck.

Dancing Queen
If your’re going to be hitting the dance floor hard, you definitely don’t want your clothes cramping your style. And even if you’ll be sashaying straight for the sofa, let’s face it, comfort is just as crucial. Luckily, there is no shortage of stretchiness this season. For trousers, a wide-leg style with stretch is the ultimate marriage of wearability and wow factor. Try our Pia sequin trousers which have a soft jersey lining and an elasticated waist.
Pleated skirts, such as our Mia design, have a pleasing amount of twirliness for the dancefloor and are also ultra adaptable for party season– dress it up with a structured top and blazer or down with a tee or sweat.
