If you want to have your finger on the fashion pulse, then sashay away from the go-to silhouettes in favour of head-turning separates from Never Fully Dressed and DAY Birger et Mikkelsen.

Headline dressing always require accessories that can up the ante even further, resulting in an after-hours look that will make everyone on the dance floor take a second look. Metallic handbags from Diesel and The Sant add a contemporary edge to any formal attire while textured finish from GANNI and Elleme offer a point of difference.

When celebrating big, choose Victoria Percival’s exclusive Riviera headbands raise the game and can work effortlessly with tailoring and mini dresses from Acler. From minimalist rings to chandelier earrings that graze the shoulders, we deliver on the latest shapes from Missoma, Soru and Petit Moments and leave the drama level up to you.

All Eyes On Him

Stepping up to the occasion is made easier with sharp shirting from Helmut Lang that offer a twist on a staple button-down. A shimmering necklace is a modern way to disrupt the classic silhouette.

While the rest of the year can be reserved for timeless wool and tweed blazers, party season is an opportunity to experiment with fabrication and colour. Velvet is a firm favourite, but look beyond black and navy. Skip the white shirt and style with a merino wool roll neck or a printed polo shirt that takes away the formality.

“As party season approaches its time to think about how to represent yourself best at the festive parties,” says buying manager, Mithun.

“I love how the Gant all over G Logo top looks with a well-tailored suit, and All Saints snakeskin print shirt teams so well with a biker jacket, alternatively try my favourite shirt by Helmut Lang with a large detail pocket.”

Party season is about keeping it fun and surprising. Resist a full suit in favour of smart denim from Polo Ralph Lauren or relaxed trousers from Universal Works.
