If you have already started to RSVP to various parties and celebrations for the upcoming festive season, you are probably on the hunt for some hero looks to see you through. If you're unsure about where to start, I would always recommend opting for classic black items that will look chic after hours and won’t take very much styling. They're also easy to restyle, so you can maximise their cost per wear, adding pops of colour through accessories, while keeping your base outfit the same.
I tend to go for little black dresses, but after seeing Tess Daly’s gorgeous one-piece while presenting the Strictly results show last weekend, I’m tempted to try something new. Styled by Laury Smith, the star opted for a stunning velvet jumpsuit by Nadine Merabi, which featured a glitzy pearl trim along the straps and neckline. Completing her look, Tess chose a pair of sling-back black heels and some understated jewels, because an embellished jumpsuit requires little to no accompaniment.
