Stunning Party Wear Outfit Ideas, That Are Not Dresses!

It’s been a festive December, the mercury dropped and so did our inhibitions! I certainly have had a blast this festive season, but scrolling through my Instagram feed has rung the alarm for one crisis situation. The endless posts of me posing in cocktail party wear dresses in different locations. How drab and uninspired, right? It is quite established that trendy dresses are your best bet when getting done up for a fun night out. But this fact can lead to some repetitive looks that beg for a change of scene!

Let us then close 2017 by breaking some fashion rules (or making new ones), shall we? We have collected some awesome celebrity inspired party wear looks that you can rock this holiday season. The only party wear guide you need to ace your next glitzy do, here are 5 party outfits that aren’t dresses!

1. A Stunning Pant suit

Not just an office-girl ensemble, the pant suit made many appearances this year in many different styles. Smart or snazzy, this celebrity style can replace your cocktail dresses for the New Year. The trick to pulling it off at a glam party? Just wear a fancy bralette, slip top or maybe just a camisole, whatever you are comfortable with. An added bonus if you are attending a rooftop event and need a few extra layers to stay cosy this December without spending too much on that warm-your-blood rum!
