Birthday Party

Whether it's your birthday, your best friend's big day, or simply a reason to be overdressed, these are the outfits that make getting ready half the fun. Add a pearl or rhinestone accessory to finish the look.

How to pick your birthday dress

Start with where you're celebrating. A birthday dinner calls for a midi or a sleek maxi, something like a rhinestone dress that sparkles without being too much for a restaurant. A club or house party is mini-dress territory: bodycon, sequins, or a backless dress that's made for the dance floor. A beach or Goa birthday works best in lighter pieces: pearl tops, shell details and flowing skirts.

Then think about photos. Birthdays are the most photographed night of the year, so pick a colour that stands out against the crowd: white, silver, purple or a rich jewel tone. Rhinestones and sequins catch the camera flash, and backless details look great in candid shots.

Birthday looks by occasion

Birthday dinner: a rhinestone midi or a maxi dress with heels and minimal jewellery.

Club night: a sequin or rhinestone mini, such as the black rhinestone bodycon dress, with strappy heels.

Your milestone birthday (21st, 25th, 30th): go all in with the rhinestone backless statement dress or the purple butterfly backless dress, our most-loved birthday dress.

Winter birthday: a long-sleeve or full-length dress, or a sequin skirt with a knit top and boots.

Birthday brunch or lunch: the embroidered white lace top or a co-ord set.

Your best friend's birthday: stay a notch below the birthday girl in a pearl top and skirt, or a simple black dress with one statement piece.
