If you want a simple, classic and comfortable outfit for the festive season that still provides some serious dazzle, you might want to take inspiration from Helen Skelton's sequin trousers look.
We're very vocal about the fact Helen Skelton is one of our fashion heroes. She pushes us to try unusual outfit combinations - we'd never thought to pair a cool co-ord velvet suit in teal with pink heels, but you can guarantee we are now. Hot pink and cherry red are colours we also never thought we'd love on the same dress, but once again, Helen's red and pink gown had us looking for one of our very own.
Now, with many people looking for stylish Christmas party outfit ideas, Helen has stepped up and provided us with all the inspiration we need. But while it wasn't actually winter when Helen wore her shimmering trousers and simplistic black top combination, we're so ready to replicate it for our December nights out.
