It’s time, people! As of today it’s 65 days until Christmas which may seem like a lot, but that means it’s only about a month until party season kicks off. Crazy, right? We know most of you are still in end-of-summer mode (wasn’t it August yesterday?) but if we’ve learned anything from working in this industry over the years, it’s that preparation pays off. Not only do you bag the best bits, but you also avoid that panicked lunch-break dash on the day of the office party— which inevitably leads to an ill-fitting sale purchase you instantly regret the next morning.
No, we’re all about more considered purchases now. And since brands have begun steadily launching their party collections, we thought it was time to start rounding them up and bringing you the best bits so you can get a head start on outfit planning.
Let’s start with Karen Millen’s latest drop. One of those premium high street destinations we always turn to when we want to up the glam, Karen Millen is perfect for the festive season. Reliably, every year, the brand launches an edit of luxe pieces that feel timeless enough to wear again and again. But the best bit about this collection is that it’s versatile, and we’re willing to bet there’s something here to suit everyone’s party wear preferences.
