Aoibhín Garrihy’s 8 Christmas Party Looks

Whether it’s a work Christmas party or a long overdue blow out with friends, now is your chance to go hard or go home.

I believe there’s no such thing as “too much” at this time of year and I’m prepared to embrace all of the trends.

Here’s a little collection of my most coveted festive party ensembles. I hope they point you in the right direction:

The Little Black Dress

If black is your fall back (and for most of Irish ladies, it is) you have to do it in style for party season. I’m loving how this isn’t your ordinary LBD, it’s got this seasons must have detailing – fringes. You’ll be twirling and twisting those tassels all night long! Pick it up from Lavish Alice for €168.

Take the Plunge

While at first glance this may look slightly low cut for that end of year office gathering, the soft romantic fabric, length and layering add a touch of class. This gúna gives the green light to let the hair down (just this once!) You can find it in Sister Jane for €85.

Bring Yo Bling

While you’re average sparkly sequinned bodycon has been a regular festive feature year on year, this carefree kimono takes beautiful bling to a whole new and improved level. Easy to wear and full of festive fun, it’s definitely on my list this year. Find it in Zara for €129.

Starry Night

The cosmic print is this season’s most coveted and Folkster’s stunning starry jumpsuit is the perfect day to night transitional number;with a flared leg it’s uber dance floor friendly too! Team it with funky earrings, a leather jacket and heels as per the pic et voila! Find it in Folkster for €89.95.

Comfy and cool

Looking for something slightly more laid back for a chilled out pub sesh but don’t want to sacrifice style? Look no further than this super cosy co-ord from Zara! It’s utterly stylish without feeling too ‘try hard’ and both pieces will work great alone too. The sweater is €45.95 and skirt €29.95 in Zara.

Rock On

A Leather mini? What’s not to love? And if you’ve got it, flaunt it! This one is for a girl on the prowl and all I can say is go get em tiger!! Find it in Topshop for €360.

Hot Pink

Stand out from the sea of red this Christmas in this show stopping hot pink jump suit. The ruffles make it that little bit more forgiving post dinner time too. That’s a win win in my eyes! Find it in River Island for €95.

White Christmas
