Bling it up

What better time to shimmer and shine than during everyone’s favourite party season? Here are 12 glam outfits just for you

-

Shimmer and shine through the party season – take your inspiratio­n from 12 very glamorous outfits.

It just wouldn’t be party season without at least one sequincove­red frock, would it?

Sometimes it’s fun to push the boundaries with fashion and switch up your style, but when the festivitie­s roll around there’s only one thing on our minds: sparkly dresses.

Whether it’s the office party, a big night out with your girl gang, or Hogmanay, everybody’s got at least one occasion where a knock-out sequincove­red cocktail frock is basically the only option – which is why the shops are packed to the rafters right now with the kind of dresses that wouldn’t look out of place on the Strictly dance floor.

This season, it’s not just festive favourites silver and gold that are dominating the sparkly market. Sapphire blue and regal purple are reminiscen­t of Christmas choccies (in a good way), while metallics like rose gold and copper offer a more subtle way to shine. The bodycon silhouette is back (that’ll be down to the AW17 80s catwalk trend), and we’re seeing lots of cool sleeve detailing and longer length sleeves (a wise choice if you don’t want to look too revealing at the work do).

Whatever your preference, there’s a glittery showstoppe­r out there for everyone.
