If ‘jeans and a nice top’ is your go-to outfit formula for dressy-but-not-too-dressy evening events, then Marks & Spencer has nailed your brief just in time for party season.
The high-street brand has dropped the perfect Christmas party top made of black velvet with an embellished neckline. It’s long-sleeved, meaning you won’t freeze on chilly nights, and its string of faux pearls gives it an elegant look that adds a suitably festive touch.
Best of all, this hero style has a very affordable price tag of just £35, despite looking much more expensive. It comes in sizes 6 to 24 but is quickly selling out, with a few of those already going out of stock, so don’t hang about if you love it!
It seems that M&S designed its new ‘going out’ top with a denim pairing in mind, as that’s exactly what the model is seen in on the website, stylishly accessorised with a silver bag, oversized earrings and black slingback heels.
Not only good for a ‘jeans and a nice top’ look, we’ll also be styling ours with leather or satin trousers when denim is deemed too casual, finished with a red lip for a pop of colour.
