What is party season without a touch (or a lot) of sparkle? From shimmering chainmail to all-over sequins, metallic finishes will ensure you quite literally shine on the dance floor – and few do it better than Rabanne. Part of an exclusive capsule for NET-A-PORTER designed by creative director Julien Dossenna, this sequined gold top, which perfectly captures the space-age feel synonymous with the iconic house, will see you through all the festivities filling your calendar between now and New Year’s Eve.

“Jeans and a nice top will always be a reliable go-to for a night out or dinner with friends, but this time of year calls for something extra special, and Rabanne’s top makes such a statement,” says NET-A-PORTER’s junior shopping editor Millie Parry. “When balanced with Agolde’s ’90s-inspired jeans and Saint Laurent’s newest It bag, the ‘Baby Icarino’ tote, it makes for the ultimate cool-girl combo,” she adds.

Whether you’re wearing a glamorous mini dress or dressed down in denim, a great blazer will make anything you pair it with infinitely chicer. “I love the idea of throwing a blazer over a casual tee and jeans as much as I do a party outfit, and Lanvin’s tuxedo style works perfectly with both,” says Parry. Impeccably tailored with a nipped-in waist that creates a flattering hourglass shape, she suggests wearing it buttoned up with a bralette just visible underneath and Christian Louboutin’s glossy ‘Miss Z’ mules. Match your manicure to those famous lacquered red soles and finish with David Yurman’s ‘Mini Chevron’ pinky ring – it’s dusted with pavé diamonds that shimmer beautifully as they catch the light.
