My festive fashion formula? Make it all about the party skirt | Jess Cartner-Morley

You get more bang for your buck if you go for sparkle on your skirt rather than your top, because it feels that bit extra

Where jeans and a nice top lets us down as a formula, I find, is that for it to look sufficiently glam it requires displaying quite a bit of skin – and there is nothing chic about goosebumps, people. But any gathering not mapped out by a formal table placement – from going to the pub to a mince pie pop-in with friends – is an opportunity for turning your outfit on its head. I’m not going to give you any shopping suggestions here, because I honestly think we’ve all had enough of buying stuff for a bit, and also because this is the kind of style recipe that can be tweaked to use up whatever is in your store cupboard.
