For very obvious reasons, Party Season is going to look incredibly different this year. Gone are the office gatherings and the colleague confessionals (for now). The mulled wine soirees and dinner dates are all on pause (until further notice). But just because we can’t attend these in-person parties doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy a solo celebration at home or a virtual shindig. And for every party in our calendar, we need the perfect piece of partywear.
This year more than ever, we need some glamour, sparkle and shine, and thankfully, Boden has delivered all three in its latest collection. We’ve fallen in love with rich pinks in velvet, bohemian prints in silk and glittering sequins with bows. You might be hanging out in your own kitchen, dancing around your bedroom or sitting at your desk with a glass of wine, but with Boden, you’ll be doing it in undeniable style.
Here’s some of our favourite pieces from the collection that give us all the joy of Party Season dressing, wherever the party may be.
Pretty in Pink
Velvet has become a staple of the party season and this Lois dress is set to become a staple of our wardrobes. With a ruched waistband, ever-chic boat neckline and generous midi skirt, it’s giving us classic elegance, but then it delivers this pink flambe colour and instantly becomes a show-stopping number.
Jumped-Up Glamour
Dressing up doesn’t always mean dresses, as shown in this Sophie jumpsuit. It creates a striking silhouette with its cropped sleeves, belted waist and wide legs, while the deep forest green colour gives it a muted sense of sophistication.
Straight to Print
When it comes to party dressing, blouses don’t get nearly enough credit. Pair them with a pleated skirt, tailored trousers or cropped jeans and you’ve got three totally different looks. And the peacock print on this Lottie blouse cements its status as the sartorial triple threat.
Sparkling Blues
We’ve always known about the magical power of shoes (thank you, Cinderella and The Wizard of Oz) and we think that these might be the most magical shoes of the season. The Antonia slingbacks are embellished with glittering sequins and adorned with pretty bows. No matter what you wear them with, they’ll transform your outfit into a party look.
