Style Notes: Party season means one thing: sequins. Give an embellished top an edgy overhaul by styling it with classic blue denim, a clutch, and undone hair. Take it from Who What Wear's con, Monikh Dale.

Style Notes: Off-the-shoulder tops are the elegant style that keeps on giving. Keep things simple (and a little festive) this season by pairing yours with embellished jeans and ballet flats. A very French approach to party dressing.

2. Sheer

Style Notes: Hark back to the noughties with the classic bustier top. Make like Sylvie Mus, and style yours with high-waisted jeans and kitten heels.

Shop the Look:

4. Silk & Satin

Style Notes: Sometimes, less is more in the party-top stakes, and Marisa Martins makes a very good case for the cream satin blouse. Keep it low-key with a trench or, for a dressier look, opt for a classic black blazer.

Shop the Look:

5. Leopard

Style Notes: No one has a knack for giving outfits a sultry spin quite like Anne-Laure Mais does. Make like the French It girl by wearing a fitted leopard top with fitted jeans, slingback heels and leather outerwear.
