The gift of stealing the show
Party season is coming, and our in-store personal stylists know the looks to get ahead. Cue plush velvet from Amanda Wakeley and eye-catching glamour from new brand ALIGNE. Say yes to sparkle with Swarovski jewellery and special sequined dresses that light up the night. Put simply, these are the RSVP-yes outfits for every event.
“The ultimate party suit, crafted in a rich, weighty velvet but still elegant and feminine. Pair it with slim-strap sandals and light-catching jewellery to achieve a polished, confident finish.”
– Mahsa, Personal Stylist, John Lewis Brent Cross
“Tailoring is a stylish alternative to traditional partywear, and few do it better than Amanda Wakeley. A low-heeled shoe with a pointed toe keeps the silhouette modern.”
– Anita, Personal Stylist, John Lewis White City
“Sweeping, glamorous, and universally flattering, this floor-length shape can be kept minimal or dressed up with heavy-duty jewellery.”
– Lydia, Personal Stylist, John Lewis Norwich
