As we enter into November, party season is well and truly upon us. It's the time of the year where the invitations come flooding in and the diary is booked up before you know it. With organising Christmas shopping, finding time to decorate, eating a few mince pies, amongst all of your other daily jobs, it's an extremely busy time of the year! There's nothing worse than the last minute panic of not knowing what to wear, so that's why it's essential to make sure you're organised before the parties arrive. You're going to need a glamorous outfit so we've got a few options that will guarantee all eyes are on you at the party...

Bring the glamour to the party in this gorgeous fitted dress. In a lovely soft grey shade with a touch of lilac tones, this dress also has an added shimmer to the fabric which makes it extra special! Embellishment is everywhere this season, and what better way to stand out at the Christmas party than with a bit of sparkle. This design saves you the trouble of finding a necklace to match, as the elegant embellished neckline is a beautiful and effortless feature.

If you're conscious about your arms and stomach areas, this dress is the perfect cover up offering long sleeves to hide your arms. Whilst the knot detail around the waist is the perfect way to distract and flatter the tummy region.

When it comes to dressing up, do you head for traditional cuts or trend-driven designs? If traditional is more your cup of tea, a pretty prom dress is the perfect party option. A fit-and-flare style with a belted waist will emphasise your figure. The full skirt skims over the stomach and balances a fuller bust, while the boat neck neckline draws the eye to the shoulders, making the waist appear even smaller!

Don’t forget your accessories; a small clutch bag is an evening wear essential. Our Cut Out Detail Clutch is the perfect size to fit your purse, phone, keys and essentials, plus the intricate cut out detail makes it a must-have accessory.

For the trend-driven fashionistas, lace is your go-to material for the winter season. But not just any lace, the high quality intricate design of this material is above and beyond the lace you’ve seen before. It will guarantee to make you feel like a million dollars!

As Grace Kelly once said, “Your dresses should be tight enough to show you’re a woman and loose enough to show you’re a lady.” Fitted without being figure hugging, this flattering dress definitely complies with Grace’s rule. Cocktail dresses are the ideal shape for any occasion, and gold and black is the perfect colour combination for a Christmas do or a New Year’s Eve party.

If gold isn’t your colour, this little number is the perfect alternative. In a similar fit to the Gold Lace Dress, this navy and black option offers a gorgeous take on this season’s top colour trend.

Whoever said blue and black shouldn’t be mixed is definitely regretting that statement right now. We’ve seen these colours mixed on the designer runways for years, so we’re bringing it to the high street and embracing the combination. Just look how chic and elegant they look together, who could disagree!

This little number will make you feel fantastic, you’ll head from dinner, to drinks and the night won’t stop there... The flowing skirt and feminine pleats will leave you wanting to dance the night away.

The prom dress design will enhance your shape and provide a flattering silhouette and ladylike feel. Red and black are the perfect Christmas party colours so you can truly paint the town red in this beautiful embroidered style. This dress won’t let you down.

Although the ‘Little Black Dress’ can be seen as the classic party dress, after years of wearing black it makes a pleasant change to opt for an alternative shade for the festive parties. Be the burst of colour amongst all of the LBD’s this season in this vibrant and bold royal blue number.

Sometimes all you need is a touch of lace. With beautiful detailing just on the shoulders, this elegant design will be sure to bring sophistication to the party. Grab your martini; you’ll be ready to party as soon as you put this dress on!

Create a look of effortless elegance with a touch of velour. This indulgent material appears incredibly luxurious and gives the impression it would come with a hefty price tag... but here’s the good news – it’s incredibly affordable and it’s bound to get the compliments flowing your way!

The ruching detail around the waist is incredibly flattering for pulling in the stomach area, whilst the fitted shape will streamline your silhouette to make you look and feel fabulous.

We love sequins here at Bonmarché and a little sparkle goes a long way at a Christmas party! Veer away from the usual dark tones of party dresses with this pretty pale pink option that will be sure to make you stand out from the crowd. The stretch lace fabric gives a flattering fit and it’s fully lined for comfort and ease.

Keep warm on the way there with our sparkly shrug. The pale pink colour matches the dress perfectly; ideal for if you want to keep your upper arms covered. This elegant combination will make you feel like the belle of the ball!
