The advent calendars have been opened, the trees are up and the Gavin Stacey Christmas special is on repeat… December has finally arrived, and with it the onslaught of invitations. It’s called ‘party season’ for a reason, after all.
And while the prospect of infinite nights on the trot spent clutching endless spice-filled, festive takes on your favourite cocktail seems somewhat daunting, nothing is more so than the ‘nothing-to-wear’ conundrum.
Our bumper guide to every single accessory you need to complete your look this party season
The best way to avoid such a scenario? Plan ahead. Work out how many feasible looks you can pull together from pieces you already own (absolutely zero #amiright? ), and then do one mass bulk-buy for the rest. Probably online because… you know… Christmas shopping changing rooms (shudder).
If you’re contemplating trouser suits, sequin skirts and/or zhuzhing up your jeans then we salute you, but the easiest way to get through is via a one-piece-wonder. More specifically, a dress.
Forget curating #lewks, after a day at work (and 9 consecutive nights on the tiles), the last thing you want to be doing is faffing over an untucked top or worrying about silhouettes.
