Almost as soon as summer is over, we start looking towards the next most wonderful time of year: the so-called 'festive season', that begins as soon as the first autumn leaf falls and continues just past New Year's Eve (or until last man standing, in our books at least). It's the time to eat, drink, be merry, and flit between the endless parties and events – and all in your most fabulously extravagant outfits, of course.
A jam-packed calendar means a lot of looks, and while we'll definitely be making the most of all the great fashion rental platforms out there (both wallet- and planet-friendly), there's always room for a glitzy new piece or two... And the new exclusive Mytheresa capsule collection from Self-Portrait is making it just that much more difficult to resist.
Welcome to your festive season party wardrobe of dreams, featuring frothy feathers, crystal details, statement embellishments, bows, slinky satins, intricate lace, bejewelled handbags and more – all in a bold palette of pink, red, blue and orange to help get you seriously in the mood. And there are some chic black and white, red and green pieces too, for those with a penchant for the more classic (but no less fabulous) festive hues.

As for the accessories? More is definitely more when it comes to festive party dressing, so up the ante with towering, sky-high heels, statement earrings and some serious sass to boot.
