Regular readers of the Kaleidoscope blog will know that we’ve been somewhat obsessed with the upcoming party season. Well, we all work hard throughout the year and we simply can’t wait to let our hair down and celebrate with some gorgeous new party wear and a mince pie or three!
Now, despite us having talked to you about party wear ever since, oh we don’t know, last December, we suspect that some of you might not actually have got around to buying yourselves any new party wear yet. What with work, and the kids, and everything else, you might not have had much time to browse Kaleidoscope to find yourself the perfect party dress.
Well, partygoers, never fear. If you’re in a hurry to find yourself some perfect party wear to take you through December, then we’ve done the hard work for you. Read on for our guide to the best last minute and partytastic ladies’ fashion!
Lush ladies’ fashion
If you’ve got a few smart separates already in your wardrobe, then a quick way to build up your party wardrobe is to buy a couple more key items. These will breathe life into your existing wardrobe and will help you to create a few new-looking outfits.
This Singh Madan Top is just the right side of dramatic thanks to its black colour and sculpted neckline. This looks amazing with black trousers and long skirts, so if you’ve got both in your wardrobe, this is a great last-minute buy.
No party wardrobe is complete without a bit of beading, and this Together Beaded Blouse does not disappoint. Together are known for their smart and mature take on ladies’ fashion so if you’re looking for something that covers you up a bit more but still looks sophisticated, this is a great choice. Again, black trousers and skirts look excellent with this one.
If you’ve already got quite a few tops, then these excellent Jersey Sequin Leggings will create a super party wear outfit with them. These are super trendy, very sparkly and just right for the festive season.
Perfect party wear
We absolutely love a darling party dress. They’re stylish, feminine and so easy to wear. That’s why dresses make an excellent last minute party wear choice. They’re easy to buy and you can create a whole outfit with them in seconds. All you need is the right accessories and some glam lipstick and you’re dressed and ready to go before you can say: “Another glass of eggnog, please!”
Now, there are so many gorgeous party dresses on the site, but we’ve singled out two great last minute purchases:
This Together Lace Dress, with its fashionable and flattering shape contrasts two colours together gorgeously with a trendy lace overlay; and this Bead and Sequin Dress with Bolero, which is in an unusual and striking mulberry colour combines a long and lovely length with lots of lively sequins.
Don’t forget a cute evening bag – we love this Sparkle Bag, which is big enough to hold your essentials whilst being cheerful and sparkly enough for the season.
