Christmas Party: Sequins Outfits
Christmas is fast approaching, so even if you think that it is quite early, it is better to start planning what to wear to the countless Christmas parties or even the very important one. It could be the work party, or you might be the plus one at a friend or partner's party. Whatever the occasion will be, it is good to start browsing the shops and in case something you fancy is not yet available at least you know that it will be and you can keep track of it. Let's start with lots of sparkle by showing Sequins outfits. They are going to be big this year. I've picked a few.
*In Store* This great gold sequin t-shirt by Biba for House of Fraser is absolutely stunning. It is completely embellished, with the Biba logo on the front and it is very versatile because you can wear it with a long skirt or to jazz up a pair of denim or over a black pair of trousers. Accessorise it with earrings and a big cuff, no need for a necklace. And then go wild with shoes and bag. It is not suitable for dry cleaning but you must hand wash it only. www.houseoffraser.co.uk
*In Store* Feel like Marilyn Monroe in that famous scene when the skirt was floating around her, only that this skirt won't float given that it is embellished with black sequins. The Vivianna pleated sequin dress by Coast is perfect to sparkle at this time of the year. Also you can find the perfect accessories in store from bags to jewellery and shoes. Given the presence of sequins I would go for a rich warm rose gold jewellery and I would put some splash of colour while choosing a bag. This dress is dry clean only. www.coast-stores.com
*In Store* Purple is my favourite colour so I could not miss this gorgeous midi sequin dress by Studio by Preen for Debenhams. The beauty of this dress is in the concealed zip and in the fact that you can clean it in the washing machine. Pair it with black accessories or if you feel brave look for contrasting colours bag and shoes. I would wear just a pair of nice earrings. www.debenhams.com
*Not Yet* Keep an eye for this amazing sequin dress with embroidery details by George at Asda. Just above the knee, you can accessorise it with black sandals or trying to find the exact shade of the flowers for the accessories so that it won't be too dark. After all you must sparkle at the party. Check the website and in store frequently, because this dress will fly off the rails as soon as it will hit the stores. I am sure that the price will be extremely good. www.asda.com/george
*In Store* Not convinced with the total sequin look ? Maybe this Mila dress by Issa for House of Fraser might be your cup of tea. A line, with that 1960's vibe, embellished just at the front with crystals and beads and short above the knee. It is available in lime and in black and it looks like it is a Web Exclusive. Study pictures of the girls during the Swinging London era to copy make up and accessories. Dry clean only. www.houseoffraser.co.uk
*In Store* Tone down this silver sequin dress by Limited Edition for Marks & Spencer with a soft black belt and steal that Limited Edition textured jacket from your partner wardrobe for a different look. Shoes can be either black or other colours but I would not wear the total silver look in order not to look like a wrapped chocolate truffle. The dress must be hand washed only. www.marksandspencer.com
*Not Yet* Jazz up a black pair of trousers or a pair of denim with this spectacular sequin shirt by Miss Selfridge. With its multicolour pattern keep the rest of your accessories quite plain, the shirt will do all the talking. Check the website and the shop or concessions to know when it will be available. I can spot a winner here. www.missselfridge.com
*In Store* I can compare this Ciara floor length dress by Monsoon to a red carpet statement dress. Its pattern reminds me of the Chrysler Building in New York and its beautiful green colour will be perfect for any skin tone. A side split to the knee will be comfortable for walking or dancing. The good news is that this dress is machine washable. Find the right accessories in store included this great faux fur stole. www.uk.monsoon.co.uk
*In Store* This shift dress with giant gold sequins is by Next and to give it more wear power I would pair it with a pair of skinny black trousers as a tunic as well as a normal dress. There is a version for tall girls and it goes up to size 22. From size 20 to 22 it is better to order it now so that you will receive it within 1 to 2 weeks for size 20 or 7 to 8 weeks for size 22, so just in time for your Christmas party. www.next.co.uk
*Not Yet* Pop to the store or check the website at Peacocks to know when this beautiful rose gold sequin dress will be available. With its 3/4 sleeves and length just brushing the knees, this dress will suit any body shape and you will feel wonderful. Accessorise it with a pair of black shoes and black bag, you don't want to look like a Christmas decoration do you? A pair of earrings and a nice bracelet or a stack of bangles will be perfect to complement your outfit. Check its arrival at www.peacocks.co.uk
*Not Yet* Many labels have introduced a sequin dress in their collection if not more. V by Very has got already available some of them, but this one is not yet available. The length is just above the knee with 3/4 sleeves and a nice cut to suit any body shape. Accessorise with black or another colour you love and wear a big cocktail ring and some earrings, they will be the only jewellery needed.
