I Just Assembled 6 Showstopping Evening Outfits for Every Budget

Hello, party season! We've missed you. After a solitary winter and a scorching hot summer, we're finally to back to socialising just like before—birthdays, dinners, and the impending Christmas parties—and with the way our social calendars filled up almost overnight, our first thought is what to wear. Dressing for a night out in winter is a tricky thing to master. We have to consider fashion and functionality in a way we didn't during the warmer months, plus navigating unspoken dress codes. Is the event dressy enough to warrant high heels, or will I be more comfortable in flats? It might be freezing, but if I've spent enough on a special dress, will wearing my winter coat spoil the effect? (And please, do not even get me started on having to carry umbrellas.) But one thing that I have given just as much thought is how much to spend on an evening outfit. 

At Who What Wear, we're staunch advocates of shopping smart and looking for the kind of investment pieces (that can be done well at any budget) you'll wear time and again over the quick purchases that you'll likely wear once. In a bid to find you some seriously good eveningwear, I've looked through the stores to find you the most exciting party and formalwear that I know you'll love forever and at every price point so you can find the piece or the outfit that really speaks to you. 

Party season is one of the best times to play with your wardrobe and celebrate the joy of dressing up (and those statement shoes at the back of your wardrobe deserve their debut). So keep scrolling to see six easy evening outfits that are guaranteed to cause a stir.
