Dress_N&T

Embellished chiffon mini dress, £200, Needle & Thread at Net-a-Porter

With the delicacy of the hand-embroidered sequins balancing the neat lines of the slim-fit silhouette, this is winter glamour at its most sophisticated. Pair with loafers for a contemporary finish.

Dress_RI

Black cowl-back belted maxi dress, £55, River Island

Go long with a maxi dress that taps into two of the biggest trends of 2015; the side-slit and the seventies. Add a classic clutch and a pair of heels to elongate the silhouette.

Dress_MinkPink2

Gold sequin mini dress, £76, Minkpink at Urban Outfitters

The vintage-style shift silhouette of this striking dress is given edge by the distressed sequinned surface and low V-neck back. Team with flats and a tailored jacket for an unexpected finish.

Dress_&OS2

Gold flakes open-back dress, £105, & Other Stories

Flakes of gold add a touch of festive magic to this chiffon dress with a faux-wrap skirt and keyhole back detail. Complete the look with a bold necklace and a pair of on-trend ankle boots.

Dress_Z2

Lace detail jumpsuit, £59.99, Zara

With intricate lace detailing and a clean silhouette, this cropped jumpsuit proves that partywear doesn’t necessarily mean a dress. Pair with a bold clutch and heeled boots for a striking look.

Dress_H&M2

Black sequinned dress, £49.99, H&M

A low V-neck back and short hemline find a balance in the long sleeves and easy, flattering fit for a modern party look; this is the LBD with added sparkle. Pair with a simple heeled pump to keep it classic.

Embellished low-back bodycon dress, £115, Topshop

Party dressing need not mean a dark palette, as this white beaded bodycon design proves. Balance the drama of the dress with a simple clutch and a pair of flats.

Dress_COS2

Metallic coated dress, £89, COS

With a flattering fit and light-catching, ribbed surface, this metallic dress combines a classic shape with a modern finish. Team with a tailored jacket and a chic pair of loafers for a striking party look.
