It's (almost) the most wonderful time of the year, which means one thing: discos, dinners and more glitter than you can shake a stick at. Deprived of the IRL outré for the other eleven months of the year, the month-long festive period is the one time of year when sequins, sparkles and six-inch heels are an unspoken pre-requisite.

So, whether you're looking for a work Christmas party dress or deciding on a Christmas day outfit to wear with your family on December 25, we've got you covered. From Rixo to Reiss, 16Arlington to & Other Stories, whatever your budget and colour preferences, we've got the Christmas party outfit to suit your needs...
