Embellishment is a huge trend for the party season. If you love to shine - go all out with a sequin mini dress, accessories with glittering skyscraper heels and a blinged out clutch bag; or for a more subtle take on embellishment – look out for beaded trims and pattern stitched out metallic thread for an oh-so-stylish look.
Lace is a huge look for winter and this black and gold lace mini dress from New Look is an absolute showstopper. The sleeves and high neck give the shape plenty of class with the low back and short skirt length adding tons of va va voom!
When wearing lace, pare back on the jewellery – maybe just a statement ring or earrings but pick one and leave it at that. There's enough going on with the lace – to start adding necklaces and bracelets would just look fussy. Keep it simple.
Faux fur is fabulous and a great way to keep cosy when hitting the town for Christmas parties. River Island, Topshop and Debenhams at Rushmere have some stunning faux fur jackets that can dress up a pair of jeans and t-shirt in an instant. We love this cute black faux fur jacket from Matalan to add a chunky layer over the delicate lace dress.

Leoni looks totally chic in this jewel toned dress from Monsoon – perfect for pair shapes the long sleeves balance out pear shape proportions and tapered shape skims over hips. The detail at the neck draws the eye upward so wear your hair up to showcase that neckline or opt for a softly structured upstyle with one side swept down.
Style Tip: When wearing lots of sequins - basically anything that refracts the light on your body – avoid anything sparkly in your make-up; shimmering metallic pigments on the eyes and glossy lips will balance out all that bling.
Glittering high heels are the perfect way to make a party dress instantly festive and you can't help but get in the party spirit! These black glitter heels from New Look are also available in gold and are totally drool worthy. The simple shape works best with all that sparkle. We love!

Another way to work embellishment is the metallic thread. The little black dress is a style classic and this embellished version from Matalan is a fantastic cut and another great look for juicy pear shapes as the little cap sleeves balance out the hips. Pair with a sparkly clutch and shimmering heels and you're ready to party!
