Helen Skelton's sequin trousers with a simple black top is the easy festive outfit inspiration you might just need right now
We're so ready to make sequins the centre of our festive outfits
If you want a simple, classic and comfortable outfit for the festive season that still provides some serious dazzle, you might want to take inspiration from Helen Skelton's sequin trousers look.
We're very vocal about the fact Helen Skelton is one of our fashion heroes. She pushes us to try unusual outfit combinations - we'd never thought to pair a cool co-ord velvet suit in teal with pink heels, but you can guarantee we are now. Hot pink and cherry red are colours we also never thought we'd love on the same dress, but once again, Helen's red and pink gown had us looking for one of our very own.
Now, with many people looking for stylish Christmas party outfit ideas, Helen has stepped up and provided us with all the inspiration we need. But while it wasn't actually winter when Helen wore her shimmering trousers and simplistic black top combination, we're so ready to replicate it for our December nights out.

In the snapshot that Helen shared on Instagram after a Beyonce concert back in May 2023, she can be seen shimmering in her silver sequin wide leg trousers.
Helen paired the glitzy bottoms with a super simple option on top, going for a delicate black cami with sophisticated lace detailing - and kept the rest of the outfit a little more lowkey, too.
Helen wore her hair loose and flowing in a sleek middle parting, proving that a statement glittery piece can do all the talking when it comes to dressing up - but we will certainly never be opposed to really going for it with your hair when it's party season.
