We have seen academia-inspired dressing takeover our ‘for-you’ pages. Trainers are being swapped-out for loafers, distressed detailing is nowhere to be seen, and we are swapping-out baggy jeans for skinny fits and oversized looks for structured tailoring. Glamour and sophistication grounds the fashion trends for A/W 24, and partywear is following suit. The colder months can make dressing for occasions like work Christmas parties, friendmas, family gatherings, and other festive celebrations that little bit harder. However, the trends for occasion-wear pieces have been made clear after seeing how designers have mixed 90’s glamour, Boho with academia aesthetics. The result being, there is no need to compromise style over warmth.
Lace Party Outfits
Driven by the revival of the Boho aesthetic, lace has been celebrated by designers such as
Zimmerman and Chloe. We are shopping for pieces where the material takes centre stage and the colour is neutral. With the statement being made through lace-lined cutouts and
lace-trimmed asymmetrical hems. The pussy-bow blouse, a silhouette that will take over S/S 25, was first seen on the A/W 24 runways. Designers such as Valentino, Dolce & Gabbana and Giorgio Armani brought together the Boho and tailoring aesthetics of this blouse with an edge that is perfect for our A/W 24 partywear looks.
Party Wear 2024: The Tailored Set
When we shop for party-pieces we don’t want to only be able to wear the look once. That is why a set, or even a three-piece set, could be the only thing you need for all of your events this season. The effects of the low-key luxury trend continue to be felt, in particular across occasion pieces, as smart aesthetics are key for both trousers and skirt sets. Embrace party materials like sequins and satin.
Structured Top Coat
The top coat dominated the runway at Copenhagen, New York and Milan fashion weeks. As we continue to be inspired by tailoring, this is the perfect all-occasion coat for when you want to look smart and effortless. Throw this outerwear piece over your best black-tie dress or even casual comfies. Designers have reinvented this classic coat with a double-breasted silhouette and black-tie satin details. For party-wear styling, be inspired by the Chanel Fall 2024 show, where we saw belts used to cinch the waist over outerwear pieces like the overcoat.

Faux Fur Coats and Jackets for Parties
It looks like faux furs are not going away and for this party season, we are embracing the retro and glamorous feel they give to an outfit. We are looking to this material for more than just extra warmth. It is time to invest in your faux fur coat in luxury browns, rich berry tones and timeless back, which, as we know, are the trending colours of this season.
