Christmas is the most apt time for sequins. This year we're embracing it with open arms and plan to flaunt some of the most outrageously sequinned pieces of partywear you can imagine. It may only be November, but the festive season's excitement is definitely palpable, especially when it comes to deciding what to wear. Marks & Spencer only dropped its Christmas party collection yesterday off the back of a highly successful second collaboration with Sienna Miller, but there's one sparkly number that's already caught our attention - the Sequin V-Neck Blouse, £45.
Its sequinned-clad design is extremely similar to the one from H&M last year that went viral and graced Instagram feeds and Christmas parties in the thousands. This year's M&S iteration is every bit as chic, from the ivory sequins to the twin velvet bows on the front, and captures the same classic and feminine allure. Thankfully, it's still in stock (albeit not for long), so you might actually get a chance to snap it up.

Already a best-seller in the M&S party-wear range, this blouse features an elegant V-neckline and longer sleeves to keep you warm. The front is covered in dazzling ivory sequins and of course, two eye-catching black velvet bows.
The Sequin V-Neck Blouse is available in two different colours; black and white, both made from a lightweight fabric that's stretchy enough to comfortably dance the night away in. The eye-catching design needs little else to shine, but to style the top for evening affairs, pair with high-waisted trousers and pointed kitten heels, or with a satin skirt for more glamour. If you've had your sequin fix and are looking for an outfit that's somewhat pared-back, denim jeans and black boots is a formula good for impromptu festive dinners.
In just 48 hours, the sequinned blouse has become M&S' fourth best-selling items, perhaps due to its uncanny resemblance to the now-infamous H&M version that vanished from the racks last year. With its festive sparkle and sumptuous velvet detailing, this piece has struck a chord with shoppers eager to secure their Christmas outfits early. Even though it's only November, some sizes are already selling out, so you're going to have to act fast.
