Festive Occasion Attire

With the party season just around the corner and your diary jam-packed with drinks, dinners and everything in between, it's time we address your event ensembles. Whether you've arranged a pub knees up with friends, a romantic date night with your better half or are readying yourself for that black tie event, it's essential you look the part.

A pub knees-up

The pub is the perfect place for a casual catch up with friends or an after-work tipple. More of a last-minute knees up, the pub can be tricky to dress for. Avoid going all out, and, instead, add a statement piece for a cooler, more laid-back vibe. This could be anything from a spangled sequin tee paired with well-worn jeans, the addition of a fancy pair of shoes with laidback bottoms, or a smart jacket over a casual shirt.

Date night

When it comes to planning your party schedule, gift shopping and prepping for Christmas day, it can be hard to make time for your significant other. Make sure you get some date-nights in the diary to spend quality time together while the festive madness ensues. You want to look special but not over the top, so keep things up-to-date with interesting shapes and look-at-me accessories; think glitzy jewellery and bold colours

Black Tie

Nothing says 'party' like a black tie event. A rare chance to get glammed up, take the opportunity to be extravagant when it comes to your ensemble. Sequins, bold patterns, stylish cuts - anything to make you stand out on that dancefloor. Don't feel pressured into wearing a gown, a pin-flaunting dress will do just as well. The same goes for the bow tie; dare to drop the tie and wear a three-piece suit without.
