We’ve hit that point in the year where there is an event or outing every weekend. And while I’m all for outfit repetition, it’s a nice treat to shop for something new. And this festive season, we’re having fun with our outfits.

More eclectic than usual, we’re seeing animal print, jewel tones, and shimmering sequins light up the dance floor. One of the exciting trends for this festive season is floral jacquard, fringed and beaded styles, bringing a touch of the 1920s to your dance floor dresses.

Have multiple parties this season? The co-ord is what you need. Pair them together or wear the pieces separately to freshen up the looks for each party. This season we’re seeing lots of fringe to elevate simple pieces, and trousers are taking more of a straight-to-slim approach.

The La DoubleJHendrix jacquard flared pants and top are for the party girl who needs something to take them from the bar to the dancefloor, while the Posse Posse Florian embroidered pants and top can take you from the office to the Christmas dinner in the evening.

Fur, fur and more fur (faux, of course) is all you’ll be seeing this party season. Fellow bus and tube takers will understand the importance of your party jacket; just because you're commuting does not mean your outfit should be ruined by the outerwear.

We saw just how popular fur is when M&S sold out…
