THE Christmas party season is well underway.

But if you're still searching for your perfect party outfit, look no further than the high street.

There is plenty to choose from, whether you want a casual-smart mini dress or a strapless show-stopper.

If it's an office do, try picking something that can work from day to night.

Look for a black or navy dress, for example, with embellishment, like this knitted dress from Monsoon.

Add jewellery and a pair of heels to a plain outfit, like this red T-shirt dress by Marisota.

If you're going to a special dinner or planning a night out with your friends, why not go all out?

The festive season is the best time to pull out all the stops - try a strapless prom dress with intricate details or a stunning midi dress.

Of course there's also the option of going for a trouser suit and there is plenty to choose from.

But a dress can take the pressure off finding a whole outfit - just pair it with a trusty pair of shoes and a clutch bag and you're good to go.

If all else fails try a sequin or jacquard style dress to really get you into the festive spirit.

Finally, when it comes to your face don't forgot the glitter. Christmas is a time for over indulgence, so take the same approach to your make-up.

Try some glitter round your eyes and a shimmery lipstick to glow.
