01 MARVELLOUS METALLICS
for her

Sequins are a fail-safe for festive fun, but slinky metallics from Pinko and Guess will ensure you really make an impact. The first of this season’s top trends is for those who prefer their partywear with an edge. Think glamour with just a hint of grunge. For outfits with attitude and accessories to match, Serravalle Designer Outlet has style that will shine this Christmas and beyond.  

Take inspiration from liquid gold in a luxurious silk slip dress or carry on the grunge aesthetic in a gun-metal grey chainmail mini. You can dress up your after-dark attire in the perfect pointed heel, or down with an effortless chunky leather boot. And when it comes to accessories, don’t shy away from the spotlight. Statement earrings and an envy-inducing micro bag are the perfect finishing touches. We'll see you under the disco ball...

02 A LITTLE SOMETHING RED
for her

Very merry and oh-so bright. Red is always a staple of the season, but this year it’s taking centre stage in shades of crimson, scarlet, and brilliant vermillion. Ditch classic black in favour of something that makes you stand out for all the right reasons. Look to Polo Ralph Lauren, Levi's  and Dr. Martens for traffic-stopping partywear, shoes and accessories.

Whether you’re searching for a party-ready mini or just enhancing your look with a pop of colour, every wardrobe should have a ‘little red something.’ A colour that truly transcends the trends, add oomph to any outfit with a patent leather bag from Pinko or beat the chill in cosy cardinal knits from Replay . Complete the look with a matching nail polish from L'Oreal. When in doubt? Wear red, of course!

03 TAILOR-MADE CHRISTMAS
for her

Timeless tailored pieces are a sure-fire way to look and feel your best, this season and the next. With swoon-worthy suiting and coats that complete your festive look, where better to take inspiration than Calvin Klein, Desigual and Luisa Spagnoli?

When it comes to outerwear, there’s something extra-sleek about longer lengths. The quintessential style staple, a long-line trench is just the ticket to go with your festive party look. Think masculine square shoulders and a cinched in waist for added drama. Alternatively, if it’s a blazer you’re after, why not go hell for leather with an oversized number from K-Way? And for instant outfits that don’t scrimp on style, dress up some slick suiting from Elisabetta Franchi with sky high heels and bold accessories. It’s a look you can take from the boardroom to the bar.

01 THE HERO SUIT
for him
This one’s a forever trend. With the ability to work hard at elegant evening events and relaxed gatherings alike, the hero suit is a sartorial staple. This season, find perfectly proportioned classics at Kiton or Boss for up to 70% less, and be sure to look out for luxurious fabrics and divine detailing.  

Christmas is a traditional affair, and this season’s hero suit is no different. Single-breasted blazers and slim-fit tailored trousers take centre stage, making dressing up or down a breeze. Pair with a fine-knit roll neck and brogues for a look that masters any smart-casual brief, or with a crisp white shirt and loafers for timeless elegance. For a softer take, swap out black for a dark navy hue.

02 CHRISTMAS CARAMELS

Soft caramels are very much in style this festive season. Look to Roberto Cavalli and Boss for inspiration on how to give your festive party wardrobe the perfect take on tawny.

With key pieces in caramel coloured corduroy, suede and leather, you can dial up your festive look by playing with texture. The ‘70s dominated the catwalks this season, so why not let it inspire your partywear too? Pair a patterned shirt or roll neck with a boxy brown leather jacket and loafers for a look that’s just the right amount of retro.

03 THE WINTER WOOL COAT
for him.

Christmas calls for looking stylish and beating the chill, so it’s a good thing this season’s wool coat trend lets you do both.
PalZileri and Boggi prove that there’s nothing quite like wool to keep you warm in the winter. Whether you’re ringing in the season with colleagues after work or heading out to dinner with friends, long-line silhouettes and oversized fits work well over any party look. Effortlessly sophisticated and versatile, you can flex the trend in an earthy brown, slate grey or classic black variety from Serravalle Designer Outlet. And to complete the outfit? Add a playful touch with a patterned wool scarf or opt for a pair of leather gloves to keep you warm while your taxi arrives.
