WHAT’S TRENDING FOR CHRISTMAS 2024?
2024 is bringing a fresh twist to Christmas party style, blending timeless classics with bold, statement-making looks. Think luxurious fabrics like velvet and satin, vibrant festive colours, and a sprinkle of retro nostalgia. Sequins? Always. LBDs? Forever iconic. But this year, co-ords, florals and rich tones like emerald green and deep burgundy are also taking centre stage. Whether you’re going all out or keeping it understated with chic details, the key to 2024’s Christmas party trends is mixing a little glamour with a lot of fun.
THE SEQUIN DRESS
What’s Christmas without a touch of sparkle? Sequin dresses are basically a Christmas party tradition, and 2024 is no exception. From a full-body sequin frock or more subtle shimmer, this look is guaranteed to make you the star of the evening. For a modern twist, try sequins in unexpected shades like luxe gold or deep plums. Pair with strappy heels and understated jewellery to let the dress do all the talking. If there’s ever a time to embrace full-on glitz, its Christmas.
THE LBD
The Little Black Dress is the fashion gift that keeps on giving, and no Christmas Party wardrobe is complete without one. In 2024, the classic black dress is all about sleek silhouettes and unique details. Whether you’re heading to a cocktail party or work event, the LBD is your go-to for timeless elegance with a twist. Dress it up with statement jewellery, or keep it simple with a pair of bold heels. Either way, you’ll be turning heads all night long.

THE CO-ORD
Co-ords are having a major moment this year, and Christmas is the perfect time to show them off. Whether you’re vibing with a tailored suit set or a matching skirt and top combo, co-ords bring a sleek modern edge to festive dressing. In 2024, it’s all about rich festive colours – think deep burgundy, emerald green and luxurious gold. Not only do co-ords look effortlessly put-together, but they also allow you to mix and match for endless outfit possibilities all party season long.
FLORAL DRESSES
Who says florals are just for spring? Floral dresses are making waves this Christmas, offering a refreshing alternative to the usual festive fare. Whether you go for bold prints or intricate embroidered details, florals bring a touch of romance to the season. For a wintery spin, look for darker hued dresses with either moody blooms or vibrant contrasting decoration. It’s the perfect choice for anyone wanting to make a statement while keeping it soft and feminine. Throw on a pair of heeled boots and you’re ready to flourish in the winter wonderland.
VELVET DRESSES
Velvet is practicality synonymous with Christmas. It’s plush, cosy and oh-so luxurious – making it the ultimate fabric for festive dressing. Whether you’re going for a full velvet gown or a dress with velvet accents like bows or trims, this trend screams opulence. You can never go wrong with black velvet, but burgundy and green hues are also proving popular this year. Finish the look with a pair of metallic heels or glitz accessories to truly embrace the festive spirit.
This Christmas, don’t just show up – show off! With these on-trend outfit ideas, you’ll be ready to own the dancefloor, sip champagne in style and make memories in your most fashionable festive fits. Whether you’re shimmering in sequins, rocking a classic LBD or channelling elegance in velvet, 2024’s Christmas party trends are all about celebrating in style. So go ahead, indulge in the magic of the season - and dress the part while you’re at it.
