Take gold, silver and bronze in the race to be best dressed guest this party season. From hints of lurex shimmer to all-out sequins, there’s a spectrum of investment pieces waiting to gild your wardrobe.

Metallic tees are the perfect solution for the office-to-out-out dilemma over the festive season, while statement mini dresses are guaranteed to make an entrance. If this kind of power dressing is outside your sartorial comfort zone, dial down the drama with matte textures and everyday staples: denim, crepe tailoring and chunky ankle boots.
