To assist you with the finest Christmas party attire, we’ve compiled several of our top picks from high street retailers including M&S, Monsoon and others.
Marks and Spencer Sequin Midi Skirt
Available for £55
You simply can’t fail with a sequinned midi skirt for a Christmas celebration. If your occasion is more relaxed, tone the skirt down with a cosy jumper and boots.
Alternatively, dress it up with a coordinating sequinned top or a fitted shirt and heels.
We adore the charming sequinned floral touches on this silver midi from Marks and Spencer. Moreover, the metallic silver shade looks somewhat more sophisticated than other coloured sequins.
Monsoon Feather Cuff Jacket and Trousers

As we’ve highlighted, feathered cuffs are genuinely dominating this year and provide the most delightful enhancement to any celebration ensemble.
We’re completely smitten with the khaki green tone of this feather-trimmed co-ord from Monsoon.
If you’re still keen to appear glamorous and celebration-ready without all the sequins and sparkles, this set offers the ideal alternative.

Continuing with the more understated appearances, you simply cannot err with “jeans and a nice top”.
This chocolate brown puff sleeve blouse from Phase Eight represents the ultimate “nice top”.
The luxurious chocolate hue is perfectly on-trend for 2025, and if you’re aiming to create a more formal appearance, you can exchange your jeans for coordinating cigarette trousers.
Add some kitten heels and gold jewellery, and you’re celebration-ready.
Nobody’s Child Velvet Midi Dress

Fashion minimalists, you’ll be pleased to hear that velvet is arguably the biggest partywear trend of the year.
