Well hello party season! How we do love you! This time of year often gives us the opportunity to get a bit dressed up – whether we have a party to go to or not – as it is the season where we can add a touch of glamour and shimmer even if we are on the school run, nipping to the shops, or having a quick coffee catch up with our friends! This is particularly true this year, with the autumn / winter catwalks showing lots of ways to dress up the everyday outfit, and as ever the catwalk trends have made their way to our local shops.
So what does this party season look like?
Enter the party in style:
Capes are not only bang on trend this season, they easy slip over whatever your outfit. This cape from Joules (available from your local Next) not only ticks the checks trend, also the faux fur trend this season.

This season the key outerwear accessories are colourful gloves. These gorgeous and super soft leather gloves from John Lewis come in a wide range of colours – so there is bound to be one that suits you!
