How to Dress for a Christmas Party Like No Other
From the dress made for dancing to the perfect pair of earrings, choose your outfit early with Liberty’s guide to party dressing
By: Team LibertyThe holiday season is almost upon us, and while you await an invitation for the annual Christmas party to drop into your inbox, now’s the time to figure out the important bit: what to wear. It’s usually a tricky ritual to navigate but as opportunities to dress up have been so few and far between lately, now’s your chance to go all out. Let Liberty help you decipher the dress code and help you decide exactly what to wear to your Christmas party with this – our Christmas Party Starter Pack…
A Dreamy Dress
There’s no better opportunity than the Christmas party to pull out a show-stopper dress and this rather opulent RIXO Mini, £295 is a real dazzler. Thigh-skimming and decked from top to bottom in shimmering burgundy sequins, it sparkles with festive spirit. Got a preference for print? With a 70s-style silhouette that blooms with golden florals, Liberty's Hestia Gala Silk Dress, £450 is a party piece that'll speak to your maximalist sensibilities.

A Plus One
Every It dress needs an accomplice, and the Loewe Pleated Leather Bracelet Pouch Bag, £1,650 makes for the perfect plus one. Crafted from pleated lambskin leather, this goes-with-everything barrel bag may be compact but don't be fooled; it's got space inside for all your evening essentials (see below). However, a Christmas party is one of those rare occasions where your style can shine bright (quite literally), so the Isabel Marant Vigo Suede Studded Baguette Shoulder Bag, £795 is a crystal-studded alternative that's well worth your consideration.

A Statement Sparkle
What's better than rifling through your jewellery box in search of the most eye-catching pieces you can find? An early Christmas present in the form of these Selim Mouzannar 18ct Rose Gold Istanbul Diamond Star Stud Earrings, £3,030, of course. Crafted from 18 carat rose gold and set with an array of round cut diamonds, these timeless earrings will elevate your outfit to a whole new level of elegance. As for your fingers, furnish one (or a few) with some conversation starting rings, just like Brooke Gregson's 18ct Gold Bauhaus Emerald and Tourmaline Diamond Ring, £7,500.

A Classy Cover Up
If you plan on getting to and from your party without catching a cold, it's vital that you layer-on a chill-cancelling coat before you step out the door. Made from super soft faux shearling and effortless to pair with pretty much any dress you can think of, STAND STUDIO's Meara Jacket, £480 promises to keep you toasty in the face of brisk wintery weather. Expecting a downpour? Kassl Edition's water repellent Original Long Rubber Coat, £950 will prevent your party look from being rained-off.

A Bold Touch
As your ultimate objective is to embrace all-out glamour and because Christmas coincides with the long-awaited return of glitter season, you can't consider your party prep truly complete until you add a touch of shimmer to your makeup look. Byredo's Dysco Eyeshadow 6g, £58 has five vibrant, sparkly shades to pick from, perfect for a light-reflecting eye. Then to your lips. Lisa Eldridge's Luxuriously Lucent Lip Colour 3.5g, £27 will give them a radiance and impressive shine finish.
