The Party Edit

Goodbye spooky season, hello sparkly styling.

The most magical time of year is creeping in.. the festive parties have arrived!

Whether it’s friends, neighbours, family, or a work-do, most of us will have a party or two coming up (or even more if you’re really lucky). If you’re anything like us, you will have already been eyeing up your fave picks to put together the perfect outfits. No matter which trends you’ve been favouring this season, we’ve created a little style guide to take some of the pressure off and give you one less thing to think about this Christmas time. You’re welcome!

Bags for the Occasion

If you love dressing up for an occasion and are after something understated that adds a touch of glam, then we have some real contenders for you. The Knightsbridge nods to simplicity and classic style: less is truly more. With its’ gold, narrow chain link strap, discreet magnetic clasp design, and the sophisticated option to use it as a clutch bag, this bag will no doubt uplift any outfit with ease. 

The Kensington bag is available in Black or Stone (shout out to all the neutral lovers), making it easy to match with almost any colour in your wardrobe! You can choose from a wide range of straps, including the brand new Marble Link & Black Link Gold Chain straps - both of which would bring a splash of glamour to any outfit. For a classic look, you can opt for the included chain strap - or you could also style it as a clutch and make use of the leather wrist strap! Did someone say ‘affordable luxury’?

Stand Out From the Crowd

An easy way to add a pop of personality to your outfit is with metallics. Although a perfect excuse to wear something sparkly everyday, they are especially on brand for the festive party months. These bags will brighten up any look with their textured shine! See below: City Mini in Silver, Mayfair Mini in Bronze, & Mayfair Mini in Gold.

Available in silver, gold or bronze; offering all the tones you could ever need to match the colour palette of your choice. Silver pairs beautifully with any cool neutrals, white, blue or red palettes. Gold compliments green tones, tan, chestnut, lighter neutrals, or slate grey. Last but far from least, our newest shade, bronze; perfect with brown tones, rich blues, or burgundy.

If we’re entirely honest, you could very much pair any of these with burgundy; which is a delightful occurrence since all of our wardrobes will likely be full of it by the time the year draws to a close. No complaints over here! 

If you are in search of a bag that you will get plenty of use out of, through to Christmas and NYE - even beyond - then you may have found the one! These may be ‘out there’ but can be incredibly versatile when it comes to coordinating your outfits, and can truly be dressed up or down depending on your mood.

Extra Special with an Edge

Ending on a much subtler note.. This is one for those who want something special but not too occasion-specific. Versatility is a must - we want to make the most use out of our investment accessories! The Mayfair Lattice Bag in Soft Beige and the Mayfair Croc Bag in Wine are both great bags to make a statement. Both available in our core City style too, these are designed for anyone who wants a premium quality handbag that can infuse some variety into their outfit – that can be dressed up or down and worn in every season.

Here at Pom Pom London, we believe that there is power in personalisation - here is a perfect opportunity to take full advantage of the two straps that you choose! Whilst all our leather bags come with a matching leather strap included, by adding a Vanilla Weave Gold Chain to the Mayfair Lattice, or a Gold Chain to the Mayfair Croc, you can effortlessly make it your own and create a head-turning look.

Whilst the excitement builds, we all know how overwhelming this time of year can get; party season is approaching and the calendar quickly fills to the brim! If we’ve done our jobs well, then hopefully you know what style you’re leaning towards and feel inspired. Get a head start on your festive celebrations today – shop our collection now!
