Christmas party season is upon us, and finding the right dress to wear to all these events can be quite a task. Especially as we need to make up for last year’s cancelled/delayed party plans.
The best part? We have something for every occasion, lifestyle and aesthetic. So whether you’re the life of the party, the corporate girl or the early exiter, you’re sure going to turn heads. Meet your new wardrobe investments in the ultimate Christmas party style guide.
The Life of the Party

Christmas Obsessed
Gold and green; the festive favourites. Nothing says Christmas obsessed better than this collection. We’re keeping the accessories to a minimum to let the sparkly heels and Hervé Léger dress do the talking. The splash of green will have you feeling oh-so-festive.
