It’s that time of year to start thinking about your Christmas party outfits. Here at HCX, we love wearing glitter and sequins to add a bit of festivity. Anything eye-catching, playful and fun is great for your Christmas party needs. Think sparkles, bright colours and pretty details. However, if dresses and skirts are too full on for you then we’ve got some other options that are perfect for your Christmas plans. So if you’re struggling with how to steal the spotlight this Christmas, fear not. We have pulled together some great finds from our favourite high-street shops.
1. Topshop Glitter Halter Velvet Midi Dress – £40.00
This dress is just beautiful. A gorgeous midnight blue covered in glitter, it will be like wearing a starry night sky. Yes, such a thing is possible. Thank you, Topshop! The shape of this dress is very flattering and it is sure to draw attention. It’s classy, classic and sparkly– what more could you want from a dress?
2. New Look Burgundy Sequin Strappy Maxi Dress – £49.99
This is a head-to-toe sequin beauty: Christmas embodied in a dress. If you’re looking for a real show stopping, eye catching, and glittery outfit then this is the dress for you. If that still isn’t daring enough for you, then the thigh-high side split adds a playful edge to this stunning dress. It’s a little on the pricey side, but with that many sequins, it’s definitely worth it.
3. New Look Burgundy Crochet High Neck Skater Dress – £19.99
Perfect if you’re not big on sequins and glitter, this crochet skater dress is elegant and pretty. The burgundy colour keeps it Christmassy, while the lace top adds some interesting detail. Plus, at £19.99, it’s a great price for a simple yet gorgeous festive dress.
4. Topshop Twinkle Sequin Pelmet Skirt – £48.00
With a name that includes the phrase “Twinkle Sequin”, you know you’re onto a winner with this sparkling beauty. For an easy way to incorporate glitter into your outfit, just pair this with a black top and you’re good to go. It’s simple yet stunning and is sure to jazz up any outfit.
5. River Island Dark Red Embellished Strappy Cami – £18.00
If you’re looking for something slightly more toned-down, perhaps to wear to a bar or for a meal out, then this top is perfect. It has been reduced from £38.00 to £18.00, so it’s a real steal. Also available in grey, cream and light pink, this top would look stunning paired with simple black jeans and boots.
6. Topshop Velvet Lace Playsuit – £50.00
Playsuits are a great alternative to dresses. This velvet beauty from Topshop has an intricate lace back that adds a really unique and pretty touch. Velvet is a great texture for the festive season as it’s slightly thicker for the cold weather (although, of course, you’d still need to wear a big coat outside with this).
7. Topshop Scallop Sequin Crop Top – £26.60
This cute top is another perfect choice if you don’t want full-on glitter and glamour. The scallop pattern is really pretty and the sequins add a festive touch. Pair this with black jeans for a sophisticated Christmas outfit.
