Party season is here, and with it comes the annual question of what to wear. Our latest drop of partywear is made for exactly that, with corset detailing, sculpted fits and plenty of glam for Christmas parties, festive dinners and New Year’s Eve. Here’s how to put together your party season look.

 

Whether you’re after a floor-length maxi, a mini you can dance in all night or a corset top you can restyle for every invite, we’ve covered the pieces to build your outfit around. We’ve also included the underwear that works with strapless, halterneck and low-back styles, plus the accessories that pull the whole look together.

Maxi Dress

If you want one piece that does all the work this festive season, go for a maxi dress. We’ve taken what we know from making lingerie and put it into our maxi dresses. Corsetry details like boned bodices and structured panels cinch you in at the waist, and the long skirt falls to the floor in one clean line.

A maxi dress suits a lot of different occasions. It’s dressy enough for a black-tie Christmas party, and it’s easy to wear to a festive dinner when you’d rather not fuss over separates. Wear it with strappy heels and a small bag and you’re ready for the night.

Mini Dress

Mini dress more your style? Ours have the same corset-inspired construction as the maxis, so you still get the shaping and support, just in a shorter, more playful cut. A mini is a good pick for cocktail parties, nights out and anywhere you’ll want to dance until late.

To keep it festive, choose a deep shade or a fabric with a bit of shine, then add sheer tights and a heeled boot for colder nights.

Corset Tops & Maxi Skirt

If you’d rather not wear a dress, a corset top with a maxi skirt gives you the same cinched, elegant look in two pieces. The top gives you shape and structure through the waist, and the skirt adds length and movement.

Separates also give you more ways to wear each piece through the season. Wear the corset top with tailored trousers or jeans for drinks, then put it back with the maxi skirt for a more formal event. Two pieces, several looks.

Don’t Forget About Your Underwear

The right underwear is key to making your partywear look its best. Strapless necklines, halternecks, low backs and one-shoulder styles can all leave you wondering what to wear underneath, and that’s where multiway bras come in. The straps can be detached and rearranged, so you can wear one bra as a strapless, halterneck, crossback or one-shoulder style to suit your outfit.

For backless or very low-cut styles, try our bra solutions, which are designed to give you support without showing under the fabric. Sort out what goes underneath first and you won’t need to think about it once you’re out.

Finish The Look Off With Accessories

Accessories are what make an outfit feel finished. A pair of heels gives you extra height and suits both mini and maxi lengths. Strappy sandals look elegant with a floor-length dress, and block heels are easier if you’ll be standing most of the night. A small bag holds your essentials and keeps the outfit looking neat, whether you go for a clutch, a mini shoulder bag or something with a bit of sparkle.
