When the dress code calls for glamour and the weather requires something a little warmer, a full skirt and a cosy knit are a winning combination. Try a statement piece like this floral appliqué skirt with a simple knit and classic accessories.

These black satin trousers are a chic alternative to a dress or skirt. The wide leg and floor-skimming length add drama but are smart enough for any formal occasion. Embellished accessories and a decorative knit provide an extra festive finish.

This look lends itself to almost any occasion and each piece will work hard well beyond NYE. Whether you’re heading out for dinner or to an intimate gathering, winter whites paired with contrasting black accessories never fail to look chic.
