The festive season is upon us and finally we can embrace sequins, sparkle, shimmer and shine without any reserve. So whether you have a penchant for all-out glamour, a slinky cocktail number or playing up as prom queen, we’ve compiled the ultimate party dressing guide, the five most important nights of December.
…Your Office Party
As sartorial etiquette goes, conservative dressing should mostly definitely be saved for any event that might see you boss or your in-laws on the list. Think high neck lines, long hems and tights for good measure. Style note: pick an interesting print or a pop of colour if this look is too safe.
