Be inspired with a touch of Sparkle

15 November 2019

Now the darker nights are here and we stop thinking about sun, sand and sea, our thoughts turn to the festive period. Whilst Bonfire Night and Christmas shopping are in the forefront of our minds, the one thing we all look forward to is the glitz and glamour of the festivities. Whether it be for the works Christmas do, having a night on the town with the girls or hosting your Christmas eve party with your friends and family. Our sparkly tops, dresses and trousers are perfect for Christmas and are ready to be celebrated in all their glory.

For many of us a little black dress is perfect for all events, we can swap our jewellery to create different looks for each party we go to, but what if this Christmas we change our usual LBD for something different? Something just as comfortable, just as stylish but with a bit more “va va voom?” We’ve picked out some of our favourite pieces to wear this festive period and we’re hoping we can inspire you to join us in wearing your sparkle differently this season.

Velour Trouser

Velour Trousers

The velour trouser is one of the Bonmarché team’s favourite separates for this season, crafted from luxurious velour these trousers are the perfect base for every festive outfit. We love to style ours with a lace top in the same shade for a cohesive colour block look. Finish with a sparkle sandal and drop earring and we’re sure you’ll find yourself forgetting that LBD you once swore by.

Sequin Top

The Sequin Top is another favourite piece for the Christmas season. Whether you’re going head to toe glam with the velour trouser or dressing up your skinny jeans, this top has the perfect amount of sparkle. Finish your look with tousled waves in your hair, and you don’t need to worry about jewellery as the top shines for itself.

Lace Shell Top

Lace Shell Top

Our next pick for this year’s festivities is our Lace Sequin Shell Top. When teamed with your favourite jean this look spells chic; the subtle sequin is perfect for embracing sparkle without going OTT. Simply throw a black biker jacket over your shoulders, add a swipe of red lipstick and you will be all set for sipping prosecco under the fairy lights.

Velour Skirt

If like us you love to dance the night away, the Velvet skirt is the perfect option for you. The fit and flare shape is ideal for swishing your way through each event this Christmas. The plush velour fabric is elegant which means you can create an evening look with very little effort. We love ours styled with a black knit such as our chain shoulder jumper tucked in to create a fabulous 50’s inspired silhouette.

Fluffy Shrug

Fluffy Shrug

Our Fluffy Shrug is the perfect finishing touch for those who already have the perfect outfit in mind, but know it needs a little something to make extra special. The fluffy fabric ensures that you don’t have to sacrifice warmth for style this winter and the metallic threads that are woven into the shrug provide a subtle hint of sparkle allowing your outfit to shine.
