As the holiday season rapidly approaches, filling diaries with Christmas markets, pantomimes, and parties, one British fashion brand is stepping up to meet the demand for festive style. FatFace has officially launched its Autumn/Winter 2025 collection, presenting a carefully curated range of pieces designed to see you through the entire party season.
Standout Occasionwear for Winter Celebrations
For those seeking a show-stopping ensemble, FatFace's exclusive Copper & Black party collection delivers. The undisputed highlight is the Liza Bronze Regular Cowl Neck Maxi Dress, priced at £85. Crafted from a soft, breathable fabric with a heavy draped satin feel, the dress is designed to flow and move elegantly. Its body-skimming silhouette and cowl neck are complemented by an asymmetric seam detail, setting it apart from more affordable high-street alternatives. The dress is ideally suited for winter weddings and formal gatherings, though it is only available in short and regular lengths, with no tall option offered.
Adding a touch of whimsical romance to the collection is the Violet Gold Prom Tulle Skirt for £89. This piece channels a similar aesthetic to outfits worn by Claudia Winkleman on *The Celebrity Traitors*. Its versatility allows it to be paired with ruffly blouses for a feminine look or styled with boots and leather for an edgier vibe. Like the Liza dress, it is currently only available in short and regular lengths.
Cosy Knits with a Charitable Cause
For those prioritising comfort without compromising on style, FatFace has once again partnered with homelessness charity Shelter for a sixth consecutive year. The result is the Ivory Shelter Knitted Fairisle Crew Neck Jumper, retailing for £58. This alpine-inspired knit features a classic fairisle pattern, making it a timeless addition to any winter wardrobe. Best of all, FatFace will donate 10% of the sale price from each jumper sold to Shelter, allowing shoppers to support a vital cause while updating their festive knitwear.
Elevated Menswear and Coordinated Looks
The AW25 collection also introduces sophisticated options for men, perfect for gifting or creating a cohesive couple's look for December gatherings. The Rust Brown Long Sleeve Dogtooth Shirt for £55 is a key piece. Made from 100% cotton in a slightly heavier weight, it's ideal for layering in colder months. The rust-brown dogtooth print offers a smart, heritage feel, and its tones are designed to complement the Liza dress perfectly. The shirt boasts an inclusive size range, available from XS to 4XL in regular and M to 4XL in tall.
While FatFace leads with these distinctive pieces, other high-street retailers are also vying for attention this season. River Island's collection is packed with sequins and velvet, currently offering 15% off orders over £65 for new customers with the code HEY15 until December 28. Meanwhile, Aligne has launched a denim co-ord set featuring diamante details, providing sparkle suitable for the festive period.
