What top are you wearing to your festive nights out?

If you're wearing a top rather than a dress or jumpsuit to Christmas / NYE parties, what have you gone for? Something sequiny, metallic or more subtle? Need inspiration!

I'm wearing a gold fine knit sweater.

I bought it online and It's longer than I anticipated so I'll either wear it tucked into a skirt as originally planned or possibly loose over some satin trousers.

Love the colour of this. Not too brassy gold and not silver either.

Ooh sounds interesting, where is it from?

Ebay - originally Simply Be but I'd looked on there first so it's not this year. But there are loads out there if you search under gold fine knit.

That's lovely!

@StCharlotte your jumper sounds lovely too! I recently bought a gold coat on eBay... I'm not sure if it's possible to overdo the gold/sparkles at Christmas!! Grin

I bought this sequin top from H & M before lock down and I've never worn it, so it's coming out this Christmas!

@mintandgold I love that top!

lindyloo57 · 20/11/2021 17:13

Love the French connection top, only size 10 and under left, how is the sizing in that brand.

mintandgold · 20/11/2021 20:45

@lindyloo57 in my opinion the sizing isn't very generous and the top isn't stretchy, I'd say a 10 would be better for 8-10 rather than 10-12 if that makes sense?

mintandgold · 20/11/2021 20:46

@Rina66 that is fabulous! Love it!

mintandgold · 20/11/2021 20:48

@SingleHandSue I have a black H&M midi I wear with a simple black cami from ASOS tucked in and it works really well. Could add a sparkly bag?

mintandgold · 20/11/2021 20:58

@Rina66 That is completely fabulous. I love it!

I noticed a sequin top in Tesco as I walked through yesterday. A pale rose gold. It looked fab on the hanger.

Have a look on vinted, if you don't mind second hand, or my local charity shop has also put together a sparkly rail

I'm watching this because I can't find a simple copper sequinned top with a scoop neck.....

@yan79 LOVE the 2nd dress Smile

@wantanotherdog there's a copper sequin outfit on whistles. At least I think it is copper coloured!

Not a scoop neck but this is quite simple.

What sort of sleeves are you after?

nanbread · 22/11/2021 21:31

I've bought a gold long sleeve wrap top and a green silk top on Vinted so fingers crossed one of them looks ok!
