With party season upon us, curating a wardrobe that sets the tone is as important as ever. Wardrobe classics such the LBD and a refined tailored suit remain an ever-favourite year after year, but there’s also the arrival of some modern event icons. One thing that they have in common – they boast style drama and show-stopping appeal. Discover the five new party dresses that should be considered for your 2023 party wardrobe.
The Mini LBD
It goes without saying of the importance of having an LBD in your wardrobe. An instant classic – this year the mini is having a particular style moment. From a black velvet mini dress to a sartorial blazer, experiment in style – but not with the length. Whether you dare to go bare legged, or prefer to pair with tights, complete your dress with an elegant pair of court shoes, or knee-high boots as a more casual alternative.
The best part about the mini length LBD? It’s easy to layer, perfect for the busier, colder evenings. Be it a luxe leather jacket or a premium wool overcoat, it has versatility for every event through the season.

The Sequin Icon
Sequins have forever had a place in party wardrobes- but they are showing exceptional notability this year. When it comes to the rules – frankly, there are none, but this year, silver sequins reign supreme. Providing an element of Studio 54 70’s-inspired glamour, hemlines may vary in length, but style potential is at its very best.

Halter Neck Hero
There’s one neckline that keeps recurring this season – the hero halter neck. A rare shape that suits all shapes, it can be elevated with embellishments on the neckline, or as a more minimalist, elegant version. Be it in a floor-skimming maxi length for a black-tie event, or a shorter to midi length for a cocktail event or romantic date night – whilst always sleeveless, it still looks perfect for winter occasion dressing.
