The one item that will transform your party season wardrobe – and you can wear it for all events and stay comfortable
GET your rhinestones at the ready as sparkly jeans are back for this festive season.
If you’re after a little Christmas sparkle but don’t want anything too in your face, then a pair of embellished jeans might be the piece that is missing from your wardrobe.
They’re perfect for dressing up with some heels and a ‘going out’ top or keeping more casual for everyday wear with that added bit of glam that's perfect for this time of year.
Here, our Fabulous Fashion team show how they’d style their favourite pair of sparkly jeans - from Fashion Assistant Emily Regan showing how to keep them looking laid back, to Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale dressing hers up for an evening out, there are loads of options on the high street to suit all budgets.

I live in jeans, so wearing them for a big night out is a no-brainer for me.
I love the juxtaposition of 'hi-lo' dressing, especially when it comes to evening wear.

The bling on these Zara jeans elevates them and gives them a designer feel.
Add in a blouse that brings all the high drama of a couture piece at a high-street price and that's a Christmas night at the pub sorted for me!
I'm not big on jewellery so, the only thing I would add is a red lip to make the look really pop.

I’m never too far away from denim, be it a shirt or trousers, so if I can wear a pair for party season, I’m delighted!
I love this pair from Zara - they’re not too glitzy, but the small studs catch the light and glisten in a nice subtle way.
I’ll be wearing mine with a belted blazer to add definition to my silhouette, all while still being in sync with the androgynous and oversized look of the jeans.
All I need is a pair of black heels and matching accessories, like this balloon-like bag - which I love and know I'll use year after year.

A pair of sparkly jeans is the perfect smart-casual piece for your wardrobe.
Wear them in the day dressed down with trainers and a jumper or dress them up for evening.
I wanted a pair that are wide leg and add just a hint of Christmas sparkle, rather than a full-on overload.
I’ve kept the top quite neutral with this asymmetric number from H&M and added some statement earrings for extra glam.
Finish the look off with some sparkly heels and a navy bow bag - I don’t often conform to ‘colour rules’ so grey jeans, black shoes and a navy bag works for me!

This petite pair of embellished jeans are right up my street - I’m a big fan of River Island denim and its petite section is ace!
The floral diamante detailing sets this pair apart from the other rhinestone jeans on the high street, and makes for a great daytime to evening staple.
If, like me, comfort is your priority, this would make a great Christmas Day outfit, casual with a touch of bling.
My family have an annual Christmas Day dog walk, so I've paired my jeans with a gorgeous red scarf and this chic jacket from Reserved to keep me wrapped up warm.

And the floral detail makes this pair of jeans super trans-seasonal. I'll be dressing them up with some sandals and a white tee in the summer when it's time for an evening in the pub garden!
