What to wear to a party
Dress up a little: one standout piece, comfortable shoes for dancing and a layer for later. Choose something you can move in all night.
Two outfits that work
Satin slip dress, cropped jacket, block-heel boots
- navy satin slip dress
- black cropped jacket
- black block-heel boots
- small black bag
A satin dress makes a party look easy, and block heels mean you can dance until the end.
Burgundy shirt, black trousers, soft blazer
- burgundy fine shirt
- black slim trousers
- charcoal unstructured blazer
- black leather boots
A burgundy shirt under a soft blazer is party-ready and stays comfortable in a warm room.
