An absolute staple for this time of year is a pair of black or brown knee-high boots, heeled or flat, real leather or fake. Not only do they add a bit of warmth during these frosty months, but they also effortlessly glam up any outfit. Look to H&M for a more affordable pair, or Russell and Bromley have higher end pairs that may be more long-wearing. They’re incredibly classy, and can be paired with so many outfits, both casual and more dressed up. A personal favourite for casual winter attire is a black leather skirt, a roll neck jumper, tights, knee high boots and a classic black handbag. For extra warmth you could also chuck on a leather blazer or a fur jacket, and you’re good to go.
When the Christmas work parties rock around, it can be a task to find the perfect balance between casual and fancy. Instantly making the outfit more glam but not too fancy, a pair of knee high boots are a fabulous solution to this problem.
Despite sequins and glitter seeming like the obvious choice for festive party attire, alternatively you could go for the more subtle yet eye-catching metallic option. This Rezek two-piece's fire-like orange tone is very apt for this time of year, and the corset neckline adds a feminine and classy touch. You could dress it up with a pair of slinky heels, or platforms and a little handbag. What’s also fabulous about this two piece is that it is available to rent, which will be music to every university student’s ears!
Pair the sequin trousers with a matte top or blazer, and the contrast will create an aesthetically pleasing finish
To get in the festive spirit or kick off the new year to a sparkly start, you’ve got to bring out the sequins. Whether it’s a pair of sequined straight leg trousers paired with a little top and heels, or a sequined skirt, a blazer, or a dress, you cannot go wrong. Pair the sequin trousers with a matte top or blazer, and the contrast will create an aesthetically pleasing finish.
