We'll RSVP to Every Party If It Means We Can Wear These 5 Outfits

It's the time of year when even the most insistent minimalists find it difficult to resist the sparkle that's scattered across seemingly every garment in every new-in section. Of course, we're talking about party season, which is hurtling towards us faster than a frenzied shopper with the same size shoe as you at a Jimmy Choo sample sale.

Whether you're already plotting your after-dark attire or have put all party preparations on the back burner until November, we'll be your saving grace. We've handpicked six excellent party looks, as seen on some of our favourite influencers. Regardless of your personal aesthetic, we guarantee you'll love at least one (if not the entire lot).

From slouchy suiting in beautiful hues to minidresses and sequin skirting, keep scrolling to see and shop the hottest party outfit ideas 2019 has to offer.

1. Slouchy Suiting + On-Trend Accessories

Suiting always makes for a cool party alternative, but in 2019, it looks even edgier thanks to the oversized silhouettes the fashion set keep sporting. Just add a headband and resin clutch. 

2. Leather + Satin

Leather trousers are ideal if your style errs on the androgynous side. Wear with an on-trend satin top and classic lace heels. 

3. Leopard + Crystals

Leopard print was all the rage in 2018, and it seems its set to be just as prevalent on the party scene this year, too. Minidresses are your fast-track to a fierce outfit. We love how Evangelie has paired hers with sheer tights and catwalk-inspired crystal earrings. 

4. Sequins + Knitwear

'Tis the season of sequins, but never before have we seen them styled to such great effect. Make like Aimee and match the shade of your sparkle to that of your knit, and then finish with rhinestone accessories. 

5. Feathers + Mock Croc

Feathers can be divisive, but when used as decoration on the cuff of a sheath dress, they've never looked so premium.
