How to Accessorise for the Festive Party Season
By Emily Huxtable - 10th December 2025
Accessories have always been a cornerstone of fashion, helping us express our personalities without saying a word. This festive season, the challenge lies in staying true to ourselves whilst embracing the Christmas spirit. We've given an extensive breakdown in this post, detailing everything you'll need to create a look that is both personal and party-ready to dazzle under the lights this Christmas.
What are this year's festive jewellery trends?
Colour is key
This Christmas - more than ever before - is all about going big, bold, bright, and bursting with nostalgia. Christmas trees are filled with brightly-coloured metallics and kitsch characters, reflecting the unchartered Christmases from the 80s and 90s. This trend can be seen carried through to fashion and accessories, with deep reds, pops of pink, and chunky, oversized pieces taking the spotlight. While metallics will always shine, pairing colourful pieces with mixed metals is a great way to create an effortlessly fun, seasonal look. This Red Beaded Heart Charm Necklace ticks all the boxes - chunky, glossy, and packed with colour and fun.
Make an impact with maximalism
Charms are bigger than ever this year, and have spanned every season of 2025 so far. They're a great way to add a personal touch to an everyday piece, and can be easily dressed up for sparkle season by adding crystals or Christmas charms. Another great aspect of charm jewellery is the ability to oversize and maximise impact. There's no rule for how many charms you can adorn, so when it comes to hitting a maximalism trend, wearing a bracelet or necklace covered in charms of different shapes, colours, and sizes is perfect. Our Stainless Steel Chunky Charm Bracelet and Necklace offer this gloriously grand eccentricity, allowing you to nail the maximalist trend through every day of December and beyond.
Splashes of sparkles
Sparkly jewellery will always be a staple for the Christmas party season. It goes without saying that under twinkling fairy lights, sparkling crystal jewellery will always reign supreme. It is, however, much easier to wear and style for evenings or occasions than in the daytime, so keeping your sparkly pieces more lowkey for everyday wear might be the best way to go. These Crystal Star Ear Climbers in Gold are small and subtle, and ideal for adding to a crystal-themed curated ear. For those who like to go big, bold, and sparkles galore, our Double Star Crystal Large Earrings in Gold are perfect - statement, stylish, and covered in crystals.
How to incorporate festive symbols into your accessories
Not everyone loves to rock a Christmas motif, but if you're going all out with your Christmas party jewellery, adding a nod to the magic of the season to your accessories is a great way to feel fun and festive. We've got so many exciting jewellery pieces packed with playful Christmas emblems. We've given a rundown of some of our festive favourites and the symbols they represent, so you can pick the perfect one for you.
☆ Stars: Sparkly star designs are a great choice that can still be worn all year round, meaning you aren't limited to wearing the jewellery at one time of year. Our Chunky Star Huggie Hoop Earrings in Gold are the perfect understated choice for adding a sweet, starry motif to your look without overpowering with Christmas themes.
❆ Winter: Snowflakes, snowmen or silver metals are perfect for winter-themed jewellery. Keep an eye out for shimmering crystals to capture the beauty of frosty mornings. Try our Snowflake and Star Chain Drop Earrings in Silver for a fun, frost-themed addition to your daytime or evening outfit.
↟ Nature: Trees, holly and mistletoe are iconic emblems that are sure to bring an elegant and festive charm to your outfit. This Enamel Holly Festive Pendant Necklace in Gold is a pretty nod to Christmas and incorporates the pops of colour from a sprig of holly.
𓃴 Wintry creatures: Adorable animal symbols like reindeer, robins, or polar bears are a fun way for kids and adults alike to embrace the merry season in style. Why not add these Enamel Robin Stud Earrings to your stack as a sweet but subtle nod to the season?
🜲 Sweet Treats: What is more festive than embracing Christmas treats? Think gingerbread men, candy canes and Christmas puddings to add a sweet touch. These Rainbow Enamel Twist Hoop Earrings in Gold are a much more subtle nod to a candy cane without overpowering your look with Christmas themes.
ꔫ Decorations: Just like in 2024, bows are big this year, and as they're also pretty, cute, and adored all year round, they're one of the easiest symbols to involve in your look. This Pearl and Red Beaded Bow Pendant Necklace provides a pop of festive red but is dainty and subtle enough for styling all through the season. For more festive decorative themes, try baubles, tinsels, or bell emblems so you're just as dressed up as your Christmas tree!
How can I incorporate festive jewellery into every occasion?
Jewellery for Christmas parties
Whether it's a formal work 'do, or just a festive social with your colleagues, it's important to strike the right balance between festive and professional. For a more classic and refined look, opt for an accessory that gives a gentle nod to the season without overpowering, such as this Crystal Star Pendant Necklace in Gold. If you're more keen to let your accessories dazzle, aim for something a little more showstopping like these Stainless Steel Angel Wing Drop Earrings in Gold, perfect for elevating even the most simple of outfits.
Accessories for the Christmas Eve countdown
If it's a Christmas Eve party you're attending, the same rules apply when it comes to accessorising. If, however, it's more of a simple social or just an evening in, you can still give gentle nods to Christmas in your jewellery. Curating an ear stack and adding some splashes of sparkle is a great way to show you're in the party season mood without needing to go all out. These Crystal Flower Burst Earrings in Gold aren't necessarily Christmas-themed, but add the right amount of sparkle to get you in the spirit. Pair them with our Stainless Steel Pearl Bow Stud Earrings in Gold for a cute, curated look that very subtly says ‘it’s Christmas!'.
Jewellery to dazzle on Christmas Day itself
For many, Christmas Day is all about comfort, warmth and spending time with loved ones. Choose jewellery that is lightweight but still festive to ensure you're on-brand but not adorned with heavy, irritating pieces while you're tucking into your Christmas dinner. Our novelty stud earrings are tiny but mighty, with motifs such as Christmas Trees and Reindeers for a playful pinch of festive nostalgia.
Accessories to adorn for New Year Celebrations
The most dazzling night of the year calls for bold, sparkling jewellery that reflects the excitement of a huge turning point for many. Our Shooting Star and Moon Crystal Drop Earrings in Gold are perfect for sparkling under twinkly lights, and this Sterling Silver Crystal Clover Beaded Bracelet is both seasonal and elegant, perfect for wearing on New Years Eve and through to the chilly months of January!
What cosy accessories are great for gearing up for Christmas?
Accessorising for the season doesn't always have to be about the jewellery. If you're not an earring wearer, or you just prefer your accessories to be more functional than fashionable, it might be worth considering a cosy, wintry accessory or two to get you feeling extra festive. Hats, scarves, and gloves are all pieces packed with practicality, but they can also make great fashion statements, too.
Hats
Great for covering up a bad hair day, staying warm while you're out and about, or just looking cool while you're doing fun, festive activities, beanies, bobble hats, and bucket hats can come in so many varieties this time of year. Our Burgundy or Mocha Beanies are sleek, simple, but make a great winter-themed statement to help elevate your everyday outfit this season.
Gloves
If you're not one for adorning a chic leather glove or snuggling in to a cosy mitten, consider a functional and fashionable hand warmer for maximum warmth and 100% style. Available in the same colours as our beanies, our hand warmers are machine-knitted in soft yarn, and will keep your hands warm during all your festive adventures. Explore the Burgundy or the Mocha varieties.
Scarves
Always a showstopper this time of year, it doesn't matter whether you go for a sleek, thinner scarf, or max out with a weighty blanket variety, our fantastic range of cosy winter scarves have a colour and pattern perfect for everyone. This Pink and Red Wavy Checkerboard Winter Scarf provides the perfect colour pop for those who love to hit the maximalist trend, but also keep cosy enough to protect from those harsh wintry winds.
We hope this fun, festive breakdown has provided you with enough inspiration to get you geared up for party mode, but if you're on the hunt for more sparkles, shine, and Christmas cheer, explore our Christmas shop for a wonderful range of accessories guaranteed to make you shine this season.
