Nights to remember: 30 key womenswear items to update your party wardrobe

It’s cold, it’s dark and the sun is setting far too early for our liking, but at least party season is here to add some well needed shimmer and shine to the end of 2025. It may seem a little obvious, but when it comes to updating your party wardrobe, take 10 minutes to flick through some recent runway shows online. You can learn a lot from observing how Anthony Vaccarello pairs an evening gown with a leather jacket at Saint Laurent, or how Sarah Burton accessorises tailoring with statement jewellery at Givenchy. Now, to those of us who can’t quite afford the world of luxury, never fear, we just need to recognise the trends and know where to shop for them. Jigsaw has looked to Miu Miu to inspire an embellished cardigan, Sister Jane has paid homage to Simone Rocha, and Aniye Records has created a dress that wouldn’t look out of place on the Alaïa runway. Whether it’s an oversized suit, mini dress or shearling fur coat you want to rock this festive season, this list has you covered.
