If you’re looking for a dress that exudes confidence and class, a silk dress is perfect for formal day events such as family gatherings, dinners and weddings. Silk is a soft, refined material that will stand out in any setting, providing you with a dress you can rely on. Our gorgeous Edie full skirt shirt dress is a staple of our autumn/winter collection, with its glossy silk properties and comfortable feel creating a designer dress that ticks all the boxes. You can match this bag with our equally elegant Celia multi strap bag for an eye-catching colour combination.

Wrap dresses are a classic design that creates a slimmer silhouette at the waistline to add curves and help you feel confident. They’re a great option for day and evening looks, with designer options available to blend in beautifully with formal settings. Our Betty cotton wrap dresses are a great choice for creating a sophisticated silhouette at a daytime festive gathering, available in a lovely blue to add a pop of colour to your wardrobe.

Our Blythe full skirt shirt dress is an essential choice for any wardrobe; our brown option presents darker tones perfect for the winter months, and can pair wonderfully with our Dahlia three-section cross body bag to complete the look.

When we think of Christmas, we often associate it with bright, festive colours such as red, green and gold. When it comes to our festive outfits, there are no set rules as to which colours we can and cannot wear.

Red and green are both classic colours at Christmas time, and are guaranteed to blend in with the festive surroundings, but can still make a statement at formal occasions and even on Christmas day. Our red Edie silk full skirt shirt dress is an opulent choice for Christmas, with its bright finish and soft fabric making it a great option when celebrating the festivities. If you would prefer a green dress this Christmas and New Year, our Bonne A-line swing dress has a detachable belt for complete comfort, and can be matched with our black Darcey saddle bag.

Purple also creates an opulent, regal Christmas palette alongside Darker tones such as chocolates. These work well as they tie in with the winter months and can create a classic silhouette. Our Celia silk full skirt shirt dress in purple creates a rich and stylish look that can be worn throughout the festive season to daytime events. All of our designer silk Celia dresses are the perfect option for sophistication and versatility, but our purple option provides a touch of extra colour to your day.

Although adding bright colours to your Christmas outfits is a great choice, black is still a classic, timeless option that will never go out of style. Black matches with any setting, and can provide a powerful, elegant look for Christmas and New Year’s Day, and into 2024. Our luxurious Eve silk-blend velvet shirt dress is a great option for dazzling your guests and making a true statement this winter, with warm materials to help you feel comfortable too. Match this dress with our black or red Celia chain strap bags to add an extra touch of charm.

During the daytime, most of us will need a stylish handbag to accompany our new designer daytime dresses. Our designer handbags at Jasper Conran London are perfectly designed to match with our collection of daytime dresses, ensuring you can cultivate a look you can be proud of.

If you need a perfectly sized shoulder bag that can comfortably fit your essentials, our new Darcey leather hobo bag is a great choice, with an external compartment for extra storage too. Match this bag with our white Esme cord full skirt shirt dress to create a contrast of colours that look chic and elegant. This dress also looks good when paired with the tan Darcey hobo bag if you want to add a warmer colour to your ensemble.

If you’re aiming for a classic, all-black look, our Darcey dome cross body bag matches perfectly with our Blythe full skirt shirt dress in black to present a time-honoured look that can serve you at a number of occasions, day or evening. All of our black bags can pair with our black dresses to create a timeless ensemble that will look the part at Christmas, New Year and at any formal occasion throughout the year.
