Twelve sparkly things to see you through the Christmas party season and beyond | The Sun

CHRISTMAS party season is here, and it's the perfect time to find a new party outfit, and top of our wish list is sparkles – in all their forms.

High street, and high-end, retailers are filling their stores with glitzy pieces, from sequin trousers, and blazers, to diamante tights and bralettes, as well as embellished skirts, beaded tops, and much more.

Over December wearing head-to-toe sparkles is acceptable, whether you adorn a beaded dress, glitzy heels, and an equally ornate clutch bag, or a sequin suit.

There are plenty of ways to style sparkles for all occasions, style preferences, and budgets whether that's a sequin skirt, chunky knit jumper or beaded top for a little pop of glitz and glamour.

You could even weave sparkles into your outfit with subtle touches such as beaded accessories or a touch of glitz in your make-up with glitter eyeshadow or a sweep of liner.

But for those who truly want to shine bright at the work Christmas party, for any festive outing, or New Year's Eve, we have found a whole host of sparkly ensembles to cater to everyone's needs.

Wendel Crystal Embellished Wide Jeans

We know we mentioned our love for embellished jeans, but blue denim variations are another alternative we also love.

Pair these jeans with a classic white T-shirt, a shirt, and even the matching jacket to complete the co-ord.

It's giving Britney Spears vibes, but with a disco twist and we love it.

Josephine Fringe Sequin Sheer Mini Dress

Those who are looking to go all out with a sparkly outfit should snap up Reiss' Josephine Fringe Sequin Sheer Mini Dress, which ticks all the boxes for an evening-out ensemble.

From the longer length sequin detail, which resembles tassels, to the sheer detail across the chest and decolletage, as well as the mini length, makes this a head turner of an outfit.

Pair with sheer black tights, or go bareleg, and wear with heels or heeled boots, but either way, this dress is for the dancefloor.

Premium Disc Sequin Oversized Blazer

We love a blazer, and when it comes to elevating the look a little further a sequin design is exactly what your wardrobe has been calling for.

This sequin blazer is unlike other sequin blazers, as it is not beaded or embellished, but features sequin discs instead of smaller beads or diamantes.

This blazer can be layered over a pair of black jeans, trousers, a bralette, a t-shirt, a roll neck, a simple skirt or a black dress, so the blazer becomes the showstopper, or go all out with the matching trousers.

• Premium Disc Sequin Oversized Blazer, £97.30 (Was £139) from Warehouse – buy here

Sequin Disc Mini Skirt

We love a sequin skirt, and every year this same style soars in popularity once again, so it is a well-worthy investment you can wear year after year.

What we also love is this sequin disc mini skirt is super versatile, and you can dress up or down, depending on your style and the occasion.

Pair the skirt with tights, flat boots, and a chunky knit for a more casual look, or with a shirt, or knee-high boots, even with a blazer and heels.

• Sequin Disc Mini Skirt, £89 (Was £119) from Whistles – buy here

Silver Sequin Layered Jumpsuit

A jumpsuit is a firm favourite in our wardrobe as it makes for simple styling you do not have to think about what top or bottoms you will wear, simply slip on, add shoes and accessories and you are ready.

Jumpsuits are an effortless look, and this layered jumpsuit is high on our wish list.

Plus, you can layer a long sleeve underneath if you are feeling the cold, or can dress it down with a chunky knit over the top, so it looks like sparkly trousers instead of a one piece.

• Silver Sequin Layered Jumpsuit, £59 from River Island – buy here

Soft Touch Gem Detail Crew Neck Jumper

Adding sparkles to your outfit may be difficult, and admittedly it is not for the fainthearted.

So, for those who want to nail the trend, and add a little sparkle to their outfit without going too OTT, M&S' Soft Touch Gem Detail Crew Neck Jumper will lend a helping hand.

You can pair this jumper with leggings, jeans, and boots, layer over a sequin skirt – of any length – or trousers, with heels or heeled boots, the options are endless.

• Soft Touch Gem Detail Crew Neck Jumper, £29.50 from M&S – buy here

Silver Sequin Midaxi Skirt

Maxi and midi skirts have come back in fashion, so give the wardrobe staple a refresh with this sequin creation.

This Midaxi Skirt just skims the ankle and is perfect for a glamorous look, as you can wear it with a blazer and heels, a cami top or blouse, or with a thick jumper layered over to tone the look down.

Considering this skirt is on sale and retails for under £25, we think it is an absolute bargain that you won't regret.

• Silver Sequin Midaxi Skirt, £23.09 (Was £32.99) from New Look – buy here

Sequined bra

We are a sucker for a jazzy bralette when it comes to dinner dates, parties, even drinks with friends.

Some may be bold enough to wear a bralette with trousers, but for us, it's a key item underneath other layering garments, such as a sheer top or shirt, even under a blazer, or blazer dress, so some may get a glimpse of the sparkle, but it's still subtle.

This design is super versatile, and a great way to ease sparkles into any look without feeling like a human disco ball.

• Sequined bra, £29.99 from Mango – buy here

HUSH Mischa Sequin Mini Dress

A sequin mini dress is all we lust for when the festive season comes around, and this style is not going anywhere any time soon.

This 60s style mini dress, with long sleeves, and boxy fit is flattering for all wearers as it is not super skin tight like some other mini dresses.

All you need with this design is a pair of heels and you have an effortlessly chic outfit to dazzle in.

• HUSH Mischa Sequin Mini Dress, £119 from John Lewis – buy here

Sequin Trousers

Wearing matching sequin trousers and tops, or blazers, is a great look for those wanting to wear head-to-toe glitz.

But a pair of sequin trousers are a great staple to wear on their own. Simply pair it with a t-shirt, shirt, or knitted jumper, and choose between trainers, heeled boots, or heels, and you are ready to go.

Sequin trousers are not only super stylish but comfortable and need minimum effort yet achieve maximum effect.
