We know it's a little early, but with party season just around the corner, we've compiled a list of the essential statement pieces guaranteed to make an impact at any Christmas 'do'.

1: Phillip Lim's pleated swing tank in either a burnt orange or a classic black. We love the gold beaded neckline. Just pair back with streamlined and tailored trousers.

2. Stella McCartney's hot fuchsia dress with its delicate ruffle trim, perfect for swishing around with a cocktail in hand.

3. David Szeto's slinky black lame dress, named after our very own Brix.

4. Karen Walker's lurex v-neck dress, with drop waist and pleat skirt, a nod to this season's ice skating trend.

5. Vanessa Bruno's black woollen dress with chiffon sleeves, the ideal little black dress that will carry on even after the party's over.
