Shoulder duster earrings from £5, designer dupe necklaces from M&S and OTT rings: How to wow guests from the waist-up

This is my favourite time of year, and I love nothing better than a big blowout Christmas meal: turkey with all the trimmings, pulling crackers, telling silly jokes – and all the while surrounded by loved ones at the family table. Coming a close second is maxing out my festive fashion choices by letting my strategic statement accessories be the talk of the table.

From showstopping earrings to designer-esque bags, this is the perfect time to go OTT and let yourself be the shining Christmas star – whatever the occasion. I love Karen Millen’s jewelled clutch bag (£59), perfect for chic evening invitations over Twixmas. Or for a versatile option in this season’s hottest hue, burgundy, there’s Dune’s luxe clutch (£95), which also comes with an optional chain strap.

And if you fancy some gilt-edged glamour, then this gold clutch (£20) is from Primark’s collaboration with Rita Ora, as are the jewel-encrusted earrings, which are a steal at £5. Or if you’ve had your eye on Prada’s crystal embellished bucket bag but don’t want to fork out £2,400, why not opt for this John Lewis version (£45) that looks just as good.

Marks & Spencer has the most dazzling array of jewels. The delicate petal-drop earrings (£16.50) are a fabulous take on a sold-out Zara pair the Princess of Wales wore last year. After a pop of colour? M&S’s beaded drop earrings in a cheery seasonal red (£16.50) are just gorgeous.

Or if you’re wanting the fun and futuristic look of Rabanne, M&S’s chain-link necklace (£20) will accomplish precisely that. Asos has vamped up its look with an oversized knot chain bracelet, dazzling with crystals – and a bargain at only £10.
