A stunning skirt…

party dressing doesn’t need to involve a dress. printed, patterned or embellished skirts can be just as effective, especially if they’re flared or wafty enough to twirl around a dance floor. Whistles has a few variations on this gorgeous pleated lurex midi skirt – it comes in gold, forest green or this cool black, gold and magenta stripe (£139; whistles.com). Wear it with a simple, fuss-free black jersey top and black shoes for a blissfully easy go-to party look.
