Dear Stylist, I have my work Christmas party next week and have no idea what to wear! Do you have any suggestions or is it best to stick to black dress for a party?

You can play safe with a little black number, after all, it’s a classic for a reason. But if you want to mix things up and make a statement then here are a few of my favourite party pieces.

Take your styling cue from Marlene Dietrich with beautifully tailored separates, such as Lanvin’s crystal-embellished jacket. Add a flash of ruby red lipstick for plenty of party season sass.

Sticking to black doesn’t always mean it has to be a dress; every woman needs a jumpsuit in her wardrobe. One of my favourites is this tailored Roland Mouret halterneck, which would look knockout with swept-back hair and twinkling earrings.

When it comes to sequins and sparkles, more is always more. If it is all about the dress for you, then get set to dance the night away in this Alice + Olivia lavish flapper dress paired with glitter-dipped party pumps.
