Few sartorial moments can stray into clichéd territory quite like party season, with its endless offerings of sequins, sparkle and added flourishes. While it’s always a good excuse to don your finest and celebrate the most wonderful time of the year, it can feel a bit like you’ve seen every iteration of party outfit before. That’s why Maje’s capsule collection of party pieces feels particularly special; it has all the very best elements one could ask for when looking for dressed-up pieces but feels entirely fresh for this festive season – and not a cliché in sight.
When shopping for clothes in which to add sparkle to an evening, capturing that magical feeling evoked by Christmas nights, it’s true that one wants to invest in pieces that can be worn during the rest of the year, too. Maje’s design team understands this more than most, creating chic separates and timeless dresses that will become the heroes of your wardrobe. There are sequins, for sure, but they’re more polished than you’ve ever seen them, decorating ruffled dresses that will look just as good at a winter wedding as they will your Christmas party.
There are shimmering twists on the LBD – sure to stay in your wardrobe for years to come – as well as tweed two-pieces which you can wear with sheer tights and heels after dark but with classic loafers by day. Similarly, the wide leg trousers with tweed suspenders will make for a truly stylish celebratory look – just add a silky blouse and statement jewels – as well as a chic take on workwear when paired with a pussy-bow blouse and patent ballet pumps.
More of a minimalist when it comes to dressing up? Keep your outfit simple and just add one of Maje’s show-stopping accessories, from shimmering fringed bags to embellished court shoes and glittery gems. Whether you’re the life and soul or a quieter party-goer, Maje will be your perfect plus one this Christmas.
