This year, when it comes to partywear, we at Grazia would attest that classic blazers and waistcoats have dominated the discourse. While there's no denying the appeal of a LBD or a classic satin dress (Sienna Miller's latest M&S collection boasted a brilliant satin party gown) a sequin or jewel-embellished tailored staple is the key to nailing this year's Christmas party dress code - and I've found an excellent iteration from M&S.
Featuring intricate silver embellishments and chic button-up detailing, the best-selling M&S Embellished Tailored Waistcoat, £49.50 is a great party staple that, this month, I've spotted here, there, and everywhere. Plenty of fashion influencers have incorporated the tailored waistcoat into their winter wardrobes, pairing it with tailored trousers and pointed toe kitten heels, which is probably why it sold out. Now, however, it's finally back in stock.

This M&S embellished waistcoat will make for a stylish twist on conventional partywear this season.
While, undoubtedly, the silver embellishments are part and parcel of what makes this waistcoat so wonderful, its true brilliance lies in its versatility. Not only will it pair effortlessly with wardrobe staples you likely already own, including satin maxi skirts and inky dark-wash jeans, but the waistcoat is also made with added stretch - perfect if you want to add layers underneath when it's really cold.
