We've found a plethora of top options—from sequins to sheer organza—cropping up on our feeds, all you need to do is add your fave jeans and shoes, and you're ready to go. So if you're looking for low-key party outfit inspo this year, scroll down to see and shop the best outfits around.
1. Sequins
Style Notes: Party season means one thing: sequins. Give an embellished top an edgy overhaul by styling it with classic blue denim, a clutch, and undone hair. Take it from Who What Wear's con, Monikh Dale.
Shop the Look:
You can get this pretty top in silver, too.
PAIGE's denim is so good.
This satin bag is perfect for parties.
I love how these mules subtly pick up on the sparkle of the top.
2. Bardot
Style Notes: Off-the-shoulder tops are the elegant style that keeps on giving. Keep things simple (and a little festive) this season by pairing yours with embellished jeans and ballet flats. A very French approach to party dressing.
Shop the Look:
This is the perfect shade of brown.
Everyday hoops.
I am *obsessed* with these new jeans from COS.
The square toe sets this pair apart.
2. Sheer
Style Notes: A-list-adored designer Nensi Dojaka is making sheer fabrics chic again. Camille Charrière is snapped here in one of the brand's tulle party tops paired perfectly with loose-fitting black jeans.
Shop the Look:
I love the subtle sparkle on this one.
The ideal oversized fit.
These are Kendall Jenner's go-to jeans.
Why wouldn't you add a pop of pink?
3. Bustier
Style Notes: Hark back to the noughties with the classic bustier top. Make like Sylvie Mus, and style yours with high-waisted jeans and kitten heels.
Shop the Look:
The embroidery makes this look so premium.
These are a cult favourite.
A creative take on hoops.
The pointed toe makes these look extra elevated.
4. Silk & Satin
Style Notes: Sometimes, less is more in the party-top stakes, and Marisa Martins makes a very good case for the cream satin blouse. Keep it low-key with a trench or, for a dressier look, opt for a classic black blazer.
Shop the Look:
This is very "quiet luxury."
These are such a good fit.
The suede next to the silk would look so good.
Because a coat is essential for a winter night out.
This brand makes such pretty party shoes.
5. Leopard
Style Notes: No one has a knack for giving outfits a sultry spin quite like Anne-Laure Mais does. Make like the French It girl by wearing a fitted leopard top with fitted jeans, slingback heels and leather outerwear.
Shop the Look:
Reformation has so many tempting party tops right now, and this one is top of the wish list.
So sleek.
Slim leg black jeans can be the base for so many cool party outfits.
The classy heels that I can't stop thinking about.
An investment-worthy bag.
