The invitations are rolling in, the evenings are getting glossier, and it’s time to dress up again. Whether you’re heading to a candlelit dinner, a cocktail party, or a full-blown festive bash, this season’s collection has everything you need to feel effortlessly polished and a little bit fabulous.
Let’s start with the showstoppers from Essentiel Antwerp, where glamour meets edge. The Ibell Rhinestone Tap Pants bring a playful sparkle to the party circuit. Pair them with the Iliza Embellished Shirt for a modern twist on monochrome that feels as sharp as it does fun.
For those who prefer one-and-done dressing, the Isatis Fitted Knit Dress balances simplicity with subtle drama, while the Inche Velvet Jersey Dress offers soft, touchable texture that feels just right for winter nights.
If your style leans more retro and romantic, Queens of Archive has you covered. The Tabitha Dress in Navy channels timeless glamour, while the Scarlet Dress in shimmering black and gold was made for dancing under twinkling lights. Layer on the Priscilla Leopard Coat for a statement entrance, or mix things up with the Bea Top in Leopard for that classic, confident nod to print.
The Scarlett dress:
Then there’s Primrose Park, where sequins take centre stage. The Marni Top in Silver Sequin and Frida Top in Black Sequin are instant mood-lifters that bring chic shimmer without the fuss.
For a cool, undone vibe, team either with the Kylie Trousers in Leopard and a heel that catches the light just enough.
Speaking of heels, this season’s shoes are all about contrast, with shine and velvet, polish and ease. The Sam Edelman Bianka Sling in Patent Black adds sleek sophistication,
while the Penelope Chilvers Minnie Velvet Sandal brings a softer, more opulent touch that’s perfect for festive gatherings.
No party look is complete without the finishing touches. The SELECTED Stella Mini Leather Bag in Black is the kind of forever piece that carries you through every event. Then, let jewellery take the spotlight.
The Mya Bay Labradorite Heart Boheme Necklace and Gold Flower Necklace bring a touch of boho sparkle, while Freya Rose Mini Hoops with or without their detachable pearls add the perfect finishing note of understated glamour.

Wherever the season takes you, these pieces are designed to make getting dressed the easiest and most enjoyable part of your plans.
