The high-street does love a good party. As soon as they catch a whiff of November the sparkles come out with a vengeance. Tops are cut a little lower, pencil skirts a little tighter (wouldn't want to waste some nice shiny satin) and everything catches the light. Glitter! Gems! Velvet! Yes ladies and gentlemen, it's that time again - the festive season. Although some stores overstep the 'shiny, tight and sparkly' mark (not naming names here)... there are some fail-safe staples that always feel comforting during the holiday season. A little black dress with requisite black sequins, a silver sequinned top, a strapless dress. So - to do some of the work for you and cut out the 'wooooah baaaad' winces, here are a couple of suggestions!
It's often seen as the go-to for a bridesmaid dress or office party, but Monsoon is really throwing up some good options this Christmas. The strapless bodice dress above left is in this season's chic deep blue, with 'underwear as outerwear' qualities. The top in the middle is also Monsoon, and although it has a slight undercurrent of mermaid fashion, I think it would look great with black slim trousers and uber-high heels. Finally if your penchant is tunic dresses, try Oasis for a gemmed-up, sheer sleeve number that you'll probably only wear at Christmas but let's face it, it's sparkly and makes you smile so go for us.
