December ensembles are usually all about dresses or fancy suiting. However, if getting dressed to the nines isn’t your thing, then rest assured there’s another option at your disposal.

Thanks to a host of brands—from Nensi Dojaka to Ganni, Zara to Rixo—the going-out top is back in a big way this season, making for the ideal alternative to frocks and jazzy two-pieces. The perfect accompaniment to your trusty jeans or simple skirting, a stand-out top with a pared-back bottom half is the cool-girl way to do party dressing.

The fabrics high on the agenda include all-over sequins, lamĂ©, satin, metallics and, of course, velvet. There’s a serious nod to the ‘80s with puff-shoulders, while more modern silhouettes include simple satin tops with long sleeves and scoop necklines. 

Strapless tops are also a total fail-safe for Christmas parties, as are leopard motifs and metallic finishes. Keep scrolling for the best party tops this season has to offer, each neatly categorised by trend and style.
