Sparkly Tops That Are Perfect For Party Season

|

Sparkly tops are the perfect party season option. Versatile, flattering and oh-so shiny, there's something for everyone in our edit...

We know it’s only October, but the festive season will be here before you know it. We’re shopping for our party wardrobe way in advance this year to beat the Christmas crowds and ensure we look fabulous at all times (of course!) And while we love a good party dress (you can find 10 gorgeous ones here), sometimes we need something that says ‘ready to party’ without being too much, well, effort!

Which is why sparkly tops are the perfect option. Easy to pair with your existing wardrobe, they’ll add an instant lift to anything – from smart trousers for after work drinks to casual jeans that need a bit of jazzing up. And if you’re the type of woman that never feels at her best in a dress, sparkly tops are a great option without being too out of your comfort zone.

Whether it’s a long-sleeved tunic style for ultimate body confidence (and winter warmth) or a more daring sheer shirt, don’t be fooled into thinking that sparkly tops come in only one style. We’ve got super-feminine designs that will look gorgeous with a midi skirt, or comfy stretch fabrics that we’ll be pairing with palazzo trousers and heels.

Choose black if you prefer to keep it subtle, or go for all-out sparkle in something brighter, such as silver. Whether you choose all-over embellishment or not is up to you. We’re a huge fan of going all-out, but you can keep it more subtle by choosing smaller details – such as some shoulder sparkle or light beading. There are more choices than you’d think!
