The festive season is upon us, and the high street bars and restaurants are adorned with sequins, sparkles, and festive jumpers. If you’re still hunting for that perfect outfit for your work’s Christmas party or a seasonal gathering, Whistles’ sale is currently on, and we’ve spotted a dazzling co-ord that will turn heads – and keep your bank balance happy.
The black sparkle knitted trousers, now £87.20 down from £109, offer a subtle festive touch with their metallic thread and glittery finish, but they can be worn all year round for any occasion. You can also buy the matching glittery shirt, reduced to £79.20 from £99; but it’s selling out fast. Sizes large and extra large are low in stock; however, there’s still good availability in extra small, small and medium sizes.
The trousers have a flattering wide leg and ‘exude elegance with a touch of shimmer’. They’re made from black jersey-knit, making them super comfortable, cosy, and warm. Plus, they come with an elasticated waistband for all-day comfort without compromising on style. They’d also make the ultimate Christmas Day trousers with enough stretch for that roast dinner food baby, reports the Manchester Evening News.
Available in sizes four to 20, the trousers measure 75cm in full length and would pair well with your favourite sparkly heels – we love these Black Adella Diamante Slip On Mules (now £103.20 from £129) – or trainers for a smart casual look. The trousers pair perfectly with their matching sparkle knit shirt, which features the same metallic finish but with a more sheer look.
The shirt, complete with a revere collar and button-down fastening, can be stylishly paired with a black triangle bra underneath for a chic outfit. Complement the ensemble with the Black Luz Gem Mini Bag, now reduced to £108 from £135, for a coordinated and dazzling party look.
Both the trousers and the shirt have received five-star reviews, indicating their high quality. While no specific comments were left, we’re confident these pieces were a hit. One potential downside to consider (based on experience with metallic, glittery knits of this style) is that they could be slightly itchy, although the soft jersey material may alleviate this issue.
