Make sure you sparkle like a Christmas star

From the office Christmas party to family meals and drinks with friends, there are plenty of festive occasions to plan for—but what do you wear?

From short and sparkly to simple and sophisticated, there are plenty of styles to choose from, no matter what your shape, size or budget.

There is no better occasion to dress for, so start now and plan your Christmas wardrobe to avoid any last minute fashion disasters.

Whatever you are doing this Christmas, you will have to dress to impress to celebrate the occasion.

Big and bold power-shoulder dresses are a key trend for the party season.

Origami folds, feathers, ruffles and rosettes are all on trend and the bigger and bolder the better.

Make sure the rest of the dress is streamlined to balance out the voluminous shoulders.

Cover up with a faux fur coat or jacket—a key look for this season, but although it’s a must-have garment, make sure you leave it at the cloak-room and show off your party frock!
