Party Dresses FAQs
How do I choose the perfect engagement party guest dress?
Think joyful, celebratory, and in-keeping with the dress code (if there is one). An engagement party is a wonderful occasion, so choose a dress that reflects your personal style and makes you feel fab.
For a more formal affair, like a dinner, you won’t go wrong with a pleated dress in a vibrant colour of playful print. If you’re heading for celebratory drinks, a fitted midi or shift dress are both smart enough for the occasion, but also easy to move around and chat in.
And if the party’s more low-key, a patterned day dress is perfect come rain or shine. Add tights and a cardi in the winter, or pair with sandals in the summer to enjoy the celebrations. For laid-back evening affairs, you’ll get away with pairing most dresses with statement trainers for a relaxed look that’s comfy all night long.
What should I wear to a Christmas party?
A Christmas party is your time to shine - and a moment for a little glamour. A rich jewel-tone dress (think emerald, ruby, or sapphire) always feels festive. Metallic shimmer details or thicker, luxurious fabrics, like velvet, make a Christmas party dress extra special. Add glam with a faux fur coat, or keep the party going in a sequin shrug. Most of all, choose a party dress you feel comfortable chatting and dancing in!

How do I dress for a work party?
The key to wearing a dress for a work party is balance. You want to look professional, but with a touch of celebration, too. A sophisticated shift dress is a go-to for work affairs and easy to dress up or down, depending on the occasion. You could also choose a midi dress with a subtle print or lovely texture, or switch things up with a tailored jumpsuit. And remember, the more confident you feel in your outfit, the more you’ll enjoy yourself with your colleagues.

What are the best fabrics for a summer evening party dress?
When the weather is warm and balmy, comfort is everything. Look for party dresses made from light, breathable fabrics, like cotton blends, chiffon, or soft jersey. A colourful day dress is perfect for, you guessed it, a daytime summer party. For heading out on a balmy evening, pleats or a maxis style will keep the air flowing so you can keep cool in the heat.

Can I wear a long dress to a cocktail party?
Absolutely! While cocktail parties traditionally lean toward knee-length dresses, modern style is all about wearing what makes you feel great. A stylish, well-cut maxi dress or a sweeping midaxi dress work perfectly. If you love a long dress, wear it!
Are sequined dresses suitable for New Year's Eve parties?
There’s no event in the calendar more glam than New Year’s Eve. And a sequined dress is your ticket to looking incredible as you ring in the new year. Go bold, choose a colour you adore, and get ready to sparkle in a shiny new New Year’s Eve dress. And if you fancy shaking things up for New Year’s Eve, why not pair a sequin top with a silky black skirt or wide-legged palazzo trousers? It’s just as eye-catching as a sequin dress, but with a slight edge!
