Rather than buying a shiny or sequinned dress for the upcoming party season, it might be better to buy a dress that can be worn again once the Christmas decorations have come down. This 50s Cocktail Dress from French Connection is perfect as it is dressy enough for parties but simple enough for daytime.
Its cap sleeves and slash neckline make this more demure than the prom dresses currently dominating the high street and make it suitable for day wear too, but it has a scooped back that saves it from being too ordinary.
It costs £120 and can be bought online from ASOS.
