Zara’s New Collection Is Full Of The Christmas Spirit 2020 Needs

December would normally be a mulled wine-fuelled merry-go-round of cosy pub dinners, carol concerts, festive dinner parties and office dos, all of which would necessitate a wardrobe that would best be described as 'bedazzled'. 2020 is slightly different. Not only do you have to wear a massive winter coat over every party ensemble so that you don't turn into an icicle in the outdoor area, but idea of something shimmering (or with a stiletto heel) frankly feels a bit alien when you've been wearing leggings for the best part of eight months. Zara's new collection - aptly-named 'Sparkling' - will soon change your mind. It actually has a svelte pair of leggings, but instead of pairing them with an oversized sweatshirt, why not opt for a cropped tuxedo jacket? Other options including a plunging minidress that has the shine-factor of a disco ball. Style it over a ruby red polo neck to stop your décolletage looking like a raw turkey (i.e. goosebump-y), and, as your final flourish, add some rhinestone-strap sandals. Sheer tights, which all the influencers are obsessed with thanks to Chanel's, are essential.

Of course, if all your festive meet-ups are playing out over Zoom, you can throw caution to the wind and wear something totally weather-inappropriate. This spangled minidress will do the trick.
