You’ve got your AW capsule wardrobe covered – so far, so sensible. Now for the fun part! Fashion today is less about the overall silhouette and more about how we respond to a singular object, favouring the feelings we have towards particular pieces. And if magpie season – when we swoop on shiny clothes – has taught us anything, it’s that inherently beautiful pieces reign supreme!
The latest F&F edit has captured those feelings and then some – heroing 15 partywear icons (from £14) – all of them curated by model and style icon Abbey Clancy.
These are the statement-makers! The headturners! The (sensibly priced) showstoppers! The party pieces that always impress. And the real secret to party season success:
The metallic trousers, £22.50. For “jeans and a nice top” types, F&F’s silver tapered trousers equal eveningwear, elevated – they’re for nights out when you’re really feeling it. Polish up with heels and a lurex silver racer top or a high-neck knit, velvet hair ribbon and a bitten red lip. Et voila, you’ve won at party season 2023.
The clever coat, £55. Meet the designer-look coat that fashion editors can’t get enough of. F&F’s faux fur is humble but haute – forever fashionable, and universally adored. Part statement-maker, part perfectly practical – and a must for casual-but-cool winter party styling.
The champagne co-ord, shirt £18, trousers £19.50. Want your partywear to look luxe? Think multiuse satin. F&F’s two-piece is deliciously decadent – whether worn for “wow” moments, or as simple separates when you want to feel a lil’ fancy.
The It knit, £22.50. No capsule wardrobe is complete without a goes-with-everything grey knit. F&F’s chic, cocooning high-neck number is both perfect for hibernating in, and looks undeniably cool when paired with ta-da (silver) trousers. Put simply? This knit makes fashion sense.
All sequin everything, from £19.50. If there’s ONE look that every stylist swears by at this time of year, it’s stop-and-stare sequins, but you knew that. One for party peacocks, the very best sequin styles are designed to dazzle and delight – created simply for the pure joy of dressing up! Whether you opt for ombre-and-oversized shimmery discs, a bijou bomber, or dabble in disco with a sequin blazer, F&F has the perfect party piece for you.
Beth Williams-Jones, clothing category director at F&F loves the way key pieces flex across smart and casual: “You can go from day to evening by wearing, say, the sequin blazer with a great white T-shirt and wide-leg jeans, then dress it up in the evening with a satin slip dress and a kitten heel. Think silver and black for maximum impact.”
