Where to shop for Christmas party outfits in Belgravia

Whether’s it’s a black tie bash, cosy kitchen supper or the annual office Christmas gathering, Belgravia’s boutiques are the perfect place to find the best sequins and sparkles this festive season. From new openings like Cefinn, Coco de Mer and Penelope Chilvers - to trusty neighbourhood favourites like Beulah, ME+EM and Egg. There’s even frills and bow ties for children and pampered pets, thanks to gorgeous shops like Pepa London and Mungo and Maud. So whatever member of the family needs a wardrobe refresh, Belgravia is the place to shop for Christmas party outfits this year.

Cefinn

Explore one of Elizabeth Street’s newest openings with a visit to Samantha Cameron’s Cefinn flagship. There you’ll find going out options galore - from sparkly lurex knitwear and a gold sequin jumpsuit to a velvet maxi dress with maximum shoulder power. But to really turn up the Christmas volume, opt for the brand’s new iridescent lamé dress, a silk-blend gown that was made to own the dance floor.

ME+EM

Whether you’re looking for a tailored look to take you from work straight to an event, a colour popping two-piece, sequin swing dress or velvet blazer, ME+EM is the place to shop it all. Best of all? The brand’s silhouettes are more timeless than trend-led, so you’ll be able to wear them for seasons to come. 

Beulah

Make a mindful purchase at Elizabeth Street boutique Beulah. The ethical womenswear brand’s signature floral prints and easy-to-wear dresses are notoriously simple to style. Wear them with boots or ballet pumps during the day, or a pair of heels for a more formal occasion. This Autumn/Winter there’s tartan, polka dots and corduroy too.

Penelope Chilvers

Invest in a pair of shoes with soul, designed and built to last at Penelope Chilvers. The brand’s metallic Stornoway shearling boots are cosy yet playful and perfect for winter weather. Or for entertaining at home, the brand’s SUJÁN smoking slipper is an elegant choice, with 10 per cent of each sale going directly to tiger conservation projects. 

Labeca

Their resortwear is the stuff of dreams, but did you know Motcomb Street newbie Labeca carry cashmere, wool, outerwear and tailoring? It’s the place to go to stock up on staples, like a Christmassy red cashmere crop top and classic black wool blazer, that could be whisked from day to night with a pair of heels and a dash of lip colour. 

Tissa Fontaneda

With the outfit sorted, don’t forget to accessorise. With slow fashion brand Tissa Fontaneda’s new Swarovski collaboration, you’ll shine bright like a diamond. The Spanish fashion house’s one-of-a-kind collection of handmade bags and belts are embellished with Swarovski crystals, and would add that much needed party sparkle to any LBD.

With Nothing Underneath

Whilst With Nothing Underneath’s signature cotton Boyfriend and Weekend shirts look killer with a simple white tee and pair of jeans, for party season we’d be picking one of the brand’s buttery silk satin garments. Layer over a slip dress or pair with a skirt and heels for an effortless party look. Handily, the silk Boyfriend comes in fabulously festive shades of Onyx, Emerald green and a ruby red Garnet.

Pepa London

Ensure the youngest members of the family are impeccably turned out, with a handsmocked dress or tartan two-piece from heritage childrenswear brand Pepa London. Designed in Britain and made in Spain, Papa’s garments are designed and made to be passed down to the next generation, and worn for many years to come.

Coco de Mer

Put yourself firmly on the naughty list with a sexy set of lingerie from the Coco de Mer boutique on Motcomb Street. If it’s a treat for someone else and some guidance is needed, personal shopping services are available to make the experience extra smooth.

Egg

Founded by the late designer Maureen Doherty, Egg is a hidden shopping gem on Belgravia’s pretty Kinnerton Street. Retailing simple yet elegant and timeless separates in natural tones and block colours, a purchase from Egg is for life, not just for Christmas.

Mungo and Maud

Belgravians love their dogs, so there will certainly be many handsome hounds on show this Christmas. Ensure your pup scrubs up, with a cashmere cable knit, smart leather collar or a quilted jacket from luxury dog and cat outfitters Mungo and Maud.

Salt Boutique

Browse both established brands and up-and-coming designers at Salt, a new addition to Motcomb Street selling a carefully curated edit of brands from Zimmerman and Xirena, to Eres and Ella Johnson. Known for their resortwear, the store carries cashmere and coats too, perfect for cooler months.

NRBY

NRBY's partywear collection is designed to take you from relaxed gatherings to glamorous celebrations with ease: think statement shirts, sleek silk silhouettes, and the perfect touch of velvet. Buy versatile pieces that will shine now and for seasons to come. 

The boutique is also selling jewellery that's perfect for Christmas gifts or party season, including vibrant beads, freshwater pearls and semi-precious glass charms on 22-carat gold-plated brass.
