Disco Inferno: Festive partywear

When it comes to making an impact this Christmas party season, just remember: it don't mean a thing if it ain't got bling.

The festive season brings with it plenty of excuses to dress up and our motto is the more sparkle, the better.

One thing partywear should never be is boring, so stow away those little black dresses and instead focus on all things glitzy.

A sequin dress can seem a slightly frightening prospect for the demure dressers, but simple shapes and darker metallic hues should make them a more wearable prospect.

Layering works well in the festive season; team an embellished jacket over a sequin dress for added detail.

Don't be afraid to accessorise either; there's no such thing as less is more during the festive period and glitter heels and bags make ideal accessories this season.
