Shine Bright: How to Accessorise Your Dress for Christmas Parties

Shine Bright: How to Accessorise Your Dress for Christmas Parties

There’s always something a little special about getting ready for Christmas parties. Maybe it’s the warm night air. Maybe it’s the lights around the house. Or maybe it’s just the feeling of winding down the year with people you love. Once you’ve found the dress for Christmas that feels like “the one,” everything else becomes a lot more fun. The right accessories can change the whole mood of your outfit, sometimes more than the dress itself.

If you’re still looking, you can browse our Dresses Collection or wander through the Clearance Sale in case something catches your eye.

But once you have the dress, these little touches help you shine even more.

Let the Dress for Christmas Do Some of the Work

I tend to start with a dress that already feels festive in its own way. The Holly Frill Midi Dress is one of those pieces. The red is bright and warm, the skirt has a soft sway, and the frill details bring a bit of cheer without feeling too much.

If you prefer something more relaxed, the Merry Tie Detail Short Dress has that easy summer feel. The neckline gives you space to play with jewellery, which makes accessorising simple.

The Noelle Cotton Midi Dress is another favourite. The red-and-white stripes feel like a gentle nod to the holiday season. Light, breathable cotton makes it an easy dress for Christmas, especially if your gathering stretches through the afternoon.

How to Choose Earrings for Your Dress for Christmas

Earrings are such an easy way to brighten your outfit. They don’t need to be bold. Even small pieces can bring light to your face.

A few lovely options:

  • Mistletoe Earrings in Pearl or Diamante
    Soft, feminine, and perfect with cotton or linen.Mistletoe Diamante earrings
  • Holly Earrings in Gold, Silver, or Pearl
    These feel a bit more playful. Gold looks beautiful with red dresses.Holly earrings in gold and silver
  • Pearl Mistletoe Earrings

If your dress for Christmas has frills or a detailed neckline, earrings are often the simplest accessory to balance everything.

How to Style Bracelets With Your Dress for Christmas

A bracelet or cuff can bring the whole outfit together. The Dolce Cuff is a piece I reach for a lot. It has a soft shine and a delicate dotted detail that feels feminine without being overpowering.

It looks especially pretty with sleeveless or short-sleeved dresses like the Holly Frill Midi or the Noelle Midi. One bracelet is often enough when the rest of your look is already doing the work.

How to Add a Festive Touch With Hats for Your Dress for Christmas

Since Christmas here is warm and sunny, a hat becomes both lovely and practical for daytime events.

The Martha’s Pearl Sun Hat is such a sweet piece. The scattered pearls add a gentle festive feel. It pairs beautifully with cotton dresses in red, white, or soft neutrals. A simple way to finish off a daytime dress for Christmas without adding too much sparkle elsewhere.

How to Play With Colour When Dressing Up for Christmas

You don’t need to stick to the usual Christmas colours. Some of the most beautiful outfits come from unexpected shades.

The Flame Linen Maxi Dress in teal is perfect for evening gatherings. The colour stands out on its own, so you can keep your accessories light and simple.

If you love the classic red, the Holly Frill Midi Dress already carries so much festive energy. A soft pair of earrings and a cuff is often all you need.

Choose Accessories That Feel Like You

The best Christmas looks always feel natural. Start with the dress for Christmas that already makes you feel comfortable and confident. Then add the accessories that make sense for you — a little shine, a soft touch of gold, or something playful for a sunny lunch.

Christmas styling should feel joyful, easy, and a little sparkly.
