Calendar notification: party season begins.

The RSVPs have stacked up and the social battery is on full charge… Now, how’s your late-night closet looking?

With access to the world’s best partywear, Borderfree’s Shopping Editors have curated the ultimate dresses for 5 iconic party personalities. And the best part? They’re all on sale.

From Studio 54 sequins to slinky Bond-villain silks, scroll on for your perfect late-night edit.

Sequins

Swish, swish, swish… the guest list will know you’ve arrived long before they see you in a fully sequinned look. With liquid-metallic finishes and sculptural 3D paillettes, it’s basically Studio 54 reincarnated. Take the dancefloor back to disco’s glory days in a contemporary sparkler.

Color Pop

Like the Tajín rim on a spicy margarita, color-pop brights bring instant zest to every function. And, as any good bartender knows, balance is everything — which is why we’ve grounded this characterful palette with modern, statuesque silhouettes. Now that’s a well-rounded kick.

Black

Timeless silhouettes with a retro nod. From street-cool Stone Island and Sporty & Rich, to simple classics by &Sons and Malford of London, these are the wardrobe foundations every modern closet needs.
