Sequin-free shimmer! FEMAIL selects the finest silk and satin for effortless style on New Year’s Eve

  • Amy Kester claims that it is time for the party season’s glittery discs 
  • She takes inspiration from Sarah Jessica Parker and Gugu Mbatha-Raw 
  • A selection of silk and satin items are selected by a UK fashion expert 










With even middle-class brand Boden now saying it is ditching eco-unfriendly sequins, time is most definitely up for party season’s sparkly discs. But, don’t worry, you can still shine bright this New Year’s Eve by dressing up in silks and satins instead. 

The attention-grabbing fabrics make a statement whether you’re out with friends or isolating indoors. Take inspiration from Valentino’s AW21 Haute Couture with Essentiel Antwerp’s pink ruffled dress. 

While Alice+Olivia’s pink statement blouse will turn tailored trousers into occasionwear. Or go for a dazzling accessory — from Lisou’s printed neck scarves to Camilla King’s handmade hair bows.
