There are few brands that deliver on affordable yet expensive-looking pieces season after season, but Reiss is definitely one of them. Its dazzling concoction of elevated classics and wearable, trend-led pieces is worthy of a place in anyone’s wardrobe, and the brand has really held its own even when up against the biggest designers.
Along with timeless wardrobe heroes, the brand is also well-known and loved for its occasionwear, with everything from sleek separates to flattering dresses and versatile tops in its partywear roster.
This year, the festive season as we once knew it is back. That being said, you don’t need to have fabulous plans in order to dress up, because in our books, every moment is an occasion worth celebrating. Whether your calendar is booked up with social gatherings, festive dinner dates or even cosy nights in, joy can be had in finding a new piece that you’ll love for years to come.
Enter Reiss’s new party collection, which has a distinct ’70s feel thanks to glamorous touches like subtle flashes of sparkle, hints of gemstone colours and luxe fabrics like satin and velvet. The whole Who What Wear team has our eye on plenty of new-in pieces, including an embellished co-ord with a comfy elasticated waist, a chic tuxedo-style blazer and minidresses that were made for the dance floor.
Feeling festive yet? Scroll on to discover the collection and all the ways we’ll be wearing our favourite pieces this season and beyond.
You can’t go wrong with an amazing black top. This is perfect for those days (and nights) when you just don’t know what to wear.
This sequin mini is one of our favourite pieces from the collection thanks to its incredible cape sleeve. Keep the rest of your look simple to make sure the dress takes centre stage.
One part of the co-ord we can’t stop thinking about…
And the second half! The elasticated waist means this is a great option for Christmas Day, too, as it’s both comfy and stylish.
A jumpsuit is always a fail-safe option. Just add some statement earrings and your favourite heels.
White in winter just looks so chic. These trousers are part of a three-piece suit that would be an amazing party or dinner-date outfit.
This blazer will work hard in your wardrobe. Wear it as part of the suit, with jeans or over a slip dress.
Waistcoats have been all over our Instagram feeds this season.
Not into sequins? This tuxedo-style mini is a great choice if you’d rather opt for an LBD this festive season.
Reiss has a great selection of tops this year, too. Wear this metallic blouse with wide-leg trousers or even leather, and add ankle boots for a smart yet subtle party look.
Just dreamy. Pair this with the matching trousers, or wear it with jeans for a more casual take.
These amazing knee-high boots have just the right amount of height to them.
Cut-out details are really having a moment. This black one-shoulder top is a great way to try the trend.
A pair of tailored trousers will serve you well year-round.
It wouldn’t be the festive season without some red velvet, would it?
More is more when it comes to party dressing…
These flared trousers come in both regular and petite lengths.
There are tons of statement dresses in the brand’s latest drop. This shimmery gold style screams NYE.
A sequin pencil skirt is surprisingly versatile. Wear this to a cosy pub lunch with a chunky knit and knee-high boots.
We can’t resist a pop of pink, especially if the rest of your look is pretty paired back.
A silk shirt is a wardrobe staple you’ll love forever.
Trying to avoid black? A deep navy like the above is a great option.
Bandeaus are proving to be the fashion girl’s neckline of choice this year.
A bodysuit-and-jeans look is a fab choice if you’re heading for an after-work drink or dinner with friends.
Trousers don’t get much more glam than a sequined, split-hem pair.
