Porte & Paire is a brilliant mid-price shoe brand to know. Wear these satin pumps with velvet suits or slip skirts for an elegant low-key look. 

Finding a cover-up that enhances your outfit can be tricky. This cropped sequin jacket will give new life to your favourite black dress or a silk shirt and trouser combination. 

The clever placement of fringing gives this mini a playful sense of movement, while the sequins catch the light for high-octane dazzle. 

The combination of velvet and deep red makes this bag supremely festive. Wear it on your shoulder or remove the chain strap and use it as a clutch. 

COS is a great destination for cocktail jewellery that feels contemporary and timeless, like these mismatched crystal drop earrings. 

The trick to mastering velvet is to look for plush piles with a non-shiny finish, and Reiss always gets it right. This tux-inspired blazer will amp up black cocktail trousers or layer over a silky dress. 

A pair of Grenson boots will last you a lifetime, and this glossy style is just the ticket to dress down party pieces for smart/casual dress codes. 

The generous mesh covering makes this bag look far more luxe than its price tag. Plus, it’s a good size for holding all your evening essentials. 

A quick, easy and effective way to elevate a simple ponytail for cocktail hour. 

The simple silhouette of this piece means it’s never going to look dated. Add a belt or wear it loose.
