As the end of term closes in, students everywhere are beginning to look for their perfect Christmas ball outfit.


Whether you’re searching for your perfect ball gown, a Y2K style slip dress or a striking suit, this guide will give you all the ideas you need.


The classic ball gown


For those who prefer a timeless look, a classic ball gown silhouette is probably what you’re looking for.


Finding a gown with a fun twist is a great way to uplift the look of a classic maxi dress.

Make it Y2K

Just by searching ‘vintage maxi dresses’ or ‘Y2K ballgowns’ you’ll find a variation of fairy-like gowns, but here’s a look at some of the best on there at the moment.
