8 WINTER PARTY OUTFIT IDEAS FOR WOMEN

Winter party season is here, and of course you have nothing to wear. Well, that’s probably not true. But who are we to argue with a seasonal refresh? Here’s our collection of women’s winter party outfit ideas – whatever your style or budget.

STOP THE PARTY IN SEQUINS

There’s loads of ways to wear sequins. From one-piece garments to signature accessories, sequins are a sure-fire way to add sparkle to any party outfit.  For top-to-toe sparkle, throw on a single sequin dress, or throw together a sequin shirt, skirt and bag – you will make an entrance.

Looking for winter party outfits that are little more subtle? Take a plain outfit and add some sequins to it. A sequin mini skirt, bag, or clutch will add a flash of glitter without taking over the room. Whatever style feels more like you, there’s a sequin solution with your name on it.  

BLACK IS BACK (AS IF IT EVER LEFT).

If it works, it works. We all know the little black dress (LBD) is the classic party outfit. But, what about the little black mini? Or the little black wide-leg trousers? Or the little black all-in-one pant suit with the devilishly low plunging neckline? The point is: you can’t go wrong in an all-black party outfit this fall or winter. Our tip? Layer all-black garments on top of each other to create a textured style with timeless sophistication. For added intrigue, go for contrasting materials like lace on top of cotton on top of velvet. Choose gold or silver jewellery finish.

FEEL FIERCE IN (FAKE) FUR

Add a little extra flair to your winter party outfit while keeping things cosy at the same time! Party outfits aren’t known for being practical, but throw a touch of fake fur into the mix and et voilà: warm, sophisticated style. Whether you go for the full body-length coat, or an understated yet classic collar, fake fur is the perfect way to complete your party outfit. Our tip: try fake fur embellishments such as earrings, purses, and even ear muffs.

PARTY? WHAT PARTY? LAIDBACK DENIM.

Feel casual yet sophisticated in your favourite pair of denims. A party outfit that says, I just woke up like this, rolled out of bed, and grabbed the next best thing available. Pair high waists and wide legs with a sophisticated black polo. Then throw on an oversized jacket and add a layer of texture with multiple pendant necklaces. And don’t forget that skinny fit jeans go with everything. To finish your party outfit, combine your favourite pair of skinny’s with closed-toe heels or ankle boots. Extra height always adds a dose of attitude.

ALL ABOUT THAT BOOT

You just can’t go wrong with a signature ankle boot and midi-dress. Whether you’re boho and floaty, or retro and disco, this simple winter party outfit is wonderfully low-maintenance. For boho vibes, we recommend textured patterns and materials, worn leather, or animal print. Disco is all about the glitter. This means silver space boots, white polished patents, or (if you can’t find the right style), plain ankle boots with glittery or patterned tights. Prefer a more classic style? Try a dolly dress. A tight waisted midi in rich or clean tones looks great with a sculpted ankle boot.

POP LIKE BUBBLEGUM IN SWEET, BOLD TONES

Big party. Big colour. From juicy limes to aqua-fresh marines, you have a whole spectrum at your disposal, so why just choose one? Catch all the eyes in a party outfit filled with sweet conflicting colours like baby blue and yellow. Or combine complimentary tones like pink, peach and cream. Bring out bold palettes with jewellery and accessories that shout. From chunky leopard earrings and giant signature necklaces to pink glittering eyeshadow – right up to the brows. Our tip: bubblegum tones pop the loudest when coupled with gold embellishments. Remember: your party outfit, your rules.

DARE TO WEAR: ALL WHITE

White. It’s crisp, it’s clean, it’s deeply impractical. But that’s what makes it so, darn, cool. An all-white party outfit might be a bit dangerous to wear near – well – almost everything! But, cover yourself in smooth, sophisticated white, and you’ll glide effortlessly into the room like the Ghost of Christmas Fashion. For the perfect all-white party outfit, we just love an all-white pant-suit, or an oversized white blazer over a plain white T-shirt or turtle neck. Pair with skinny fit white trousers (maybe leather?!) and all-white chunky jewellery to match.

ACCESSORIZE, ACCESSORIZE, ACCESSORIZE

Accessorizing is a must for any women’s going out outfit, and there’s loads of ways to do it. First: why not top your look – literally – with hair accessories. From retro velvet scrunchies to metallic grips and embellishments, hair is really hogging the lime-light this year. Next: bags. The statement clutch isn’t going anywhere. Think big, bold patterns, vibrant colours, weird shapes, and an experimental laboratory full of different materials. Your bag might look like a child’s pasta art, and that’s ok. Finally: earrings. From larger-than-life windchimes to little gems and cuffs that travel all the way up your ears, earrings are a great way to dial up a dull party outfit.
