@lucywilliams02Style Notes: Choose fuss-free silhouettes in comfortable fabrics like Lucy did—a dinner party is a perfect opportunity to try out the silk midi skirt trend.

@chloepierreldnStyle Notes: You want to feel relaxed at your host's table, and nothing takes your peace like the realisation that you should've worn another layer. A knitted dress is the perfect solution, promising to keep you cosy while still looking polished. Plus, they're so easy to dress up for the evening.
Look to Mango for chic knitted dresses in a variety of shapes and sizes.
I love Chloe's neutral style, but for something bolder, opt for a striking blue shade.

@sabinasocolStyle Notes: Jeans and a nice top. It doesn't get easier than this age-old combination, and the idea can be jazzed up to feel more dinner-party friendly: Simply layer a cardigan over a cami and add earrings.
You can also buy this cashmere cardi in gray, navy, lilac, red, and black.
These high-rise, wide-leg jeans are an all-around winner.

@emmarosestyleStyle Notes: There's not an occasion in your calendar that a little black dress won't work for. Just add some gold-toned jewellery and strappy heels.
A whatever-the-weather, whatever-the-occasion dress you can always rely on.
This feels very Parisian—which, of course, means we love it.

@lenafarlStyle Notes: You'll be spending much of your evening seated at a table, so think about what's happening with the top half of your outfit. Perhaps it's time to rock the statement-sleeve blouse you've been thinking about.
This blouse will no doubt get a lot of wear as we head into the festive period.

@greceghanemStyle Notes: A loose-fitting suit is the fashion world's answer to just about every outfit conundrum. Go with trainers for low-key get-togethers and pointed-toe boots or heeled mules for smarter gatherings.
In my humble opinion, COS makes the best tailored trousers of any high-street brand.

@bubblyaquariusStyle Notes: There are tons of matching sets on the marketplace that look luxe but feel like pj's. This feather-trimmed Sleeper co-ord just needs a pair of low heels to make it outside appropriate.
An evening involving feathers will always be fun.
These slingbacks will work hard for you throughout the party season and beyond.

@emilisindlevStyle Notes: If your besties are coming around to chez toi, make the most of the wardrobe at hand and use this as a testing ground for the brave sequin-adorned look you're not quite sure the bus stop can handle yet.

@charlottekuhrtStyle Notes: Choosing to wear a jumpsuit doesn't have to feel fussy or OTT—see how simple Charlotte Kuhrt's all-in-one is?
Layer a cardigan on top if your host's home is chilly.
