Christmas party season is the one time of year when more sparkle is always the right answer. A corset top is the easiest way to get there: it shapes your waist, looks dressed-up with almost anything, and works in every size from XS to 5XL. Here are seven outfits to copy this December.
1. Green sequins and a satin skirt
A deep green sequin halter like Emerald Sparkle is festive without being costume-like. Pair it with a satin midi skirt in black or champagne, strappy heels and gold hoops.
2. Maroon sequins with wide-leg trousers
For an office party where you want to feel polished, wear Merry Maroon with high-waisted black wide-leg trousers and a sleek blazer over your shoulders. Take the blazer off when the music starts.
3. Black and gold for a cocktail party
A black and gold sequin bustier such as Gilded Night with a black mini skirt is a classic cocktail look. Add sheer black tights and pointed heels for a winter-ready finish.
4. Velvet for a cosy Christmas dinner
Velvet is the softest way to dress up. Try Velvet Vino in rich wine with tailored trousers or a long satin skirt. It feels luxe but still comfortable enough for a long dinner.
5. Metallic silver with a sequin or leather mini
If you want to be the shiniest person in the room, a metallic bustier like Silver Siren with a black leather-look or sequin mini skirt is the move. Keep jewellery simple and let the corset do the talking.
6. Pink sparkle for a fun night out
Not everything has to be red and green. Pink Shimmer with a satin skirt or straight-leg jeans is playful, flattering and perfect for after-work drinks.
7. An underbust corset over a party dress
Already have a dress you love? Belt it with an underbust corset like Midnight Cinch or Plum Velvet Cinch to define your waist and give an old favourite a new look.
Quick styling tips
- Balance shine with matte: pair sequin corsets with satin, wool or denim rather than more sequins.
- Mind the waistline: high-waisted skirts and trousers meet the corset hem for a smooth silhouette.
- Get the size right: check our corset size guide before you order.
