Gorgeous fabrics
Add some sparkle
Velvet ’ s back in fashion and perfect for a festive outfit – luxurious and richly coloured . Lustrous satins have made a return to the high street too . Vintage velvet is always an option – search out simple dresses in contemporary colours or go for a bold retro look . www . redresswinchester . com
Nothing says Christmas like a bit of sparkle ... Dress up a classic ʻlittle black dress ’ with a sequinned jacket or twin velvet trousers with a glitzy top ( Sequin Cropped Blazer , £ 69 , M & S ). Or add a statement piece of jewellery , new or pre-loved . www . marksandspencer . com
Have some fun
Add a pop of colour
That doesn ’ t just mean Christmas jumpers and fleecy Santa hats ... TK Maxx is great for some full-on party shoes ( prices from £ 19.99 ). Or look out for fun clutch bags or festive costume jewellery and hair accessories – the kitscher the better !
