With Christmas party season in full-swing, and New Year's eve just a few weeks away, shoppers of all shapes and sizes are looking to find the most flattering outfits to get as many compliments as possible. This year's key trends for Christmas and New Year's parties include sequins (obviously), velvet, ruffles, 80s-inspired pieces and androgynous styles.
With SO many options available, it can be difficult to pick what to wear if you want to stand out. We've rounded up the best and most beautiful Christmas party outfits for 2022.
I am of the personal belief that you can never be too dressed up for a Christmas party. It's the time of year you should feel special and appreciated, so whether you're having a casual pub party like us lot at the Manchester Evening News, or a more lavish do somewhere a bit more fancy, wear whatever you want.
This year's top picks can be found at River Island, New Look, Misspap, Boohoo, Oh Polly and ASOS. Look out for our Editor's Picks for the most on-trend pieces this season.
