I’m 28 and my mum is 59 – we tried on all the best party pieces at your local supermarket and here’s what we thought…

SENIOR Stylist Abby McHale, 28, and her mum Julie Whiteley, 59, share the best Christmas party pieces from the supermarket.

F&F AT TESCO

Julie – Dress, £25; F&F at Tesco; heels, £69, Charles & Keith; earrings, £27.99, Pilgrim… Abby – Bodysuit; £15, skirt, £19.50, both F&F Tesco; heels, £18, Tu at Sainsbury’sFab Daily

Abby says: Animal print never goes out of style and my bodysuit from F&F has had a party makeover, with an extra bit of shimmer added in.

Paired with this champagne satin skirt, I certainly feel glamorous, plus both items are less than £20.

Julie says: I love the print on this dress, with the empire line cut being good for my body shape.

I would get my wear out of this time and time again, lasting me way past party season.

NUTMEG AT MORRISONS

Julie – Jumpsuit, £22, Nutmeg at Morrisons; heels, £39.50, M&S; necklace, £25, Orelia.. Abby – Top, £15, skirt, £20, both Nutmeg at Morrisons; shoes, £45, NextFab Daily

Abby says: If you’re looking for something shimmery this party season, head to Nutmeg at Morrisons. So many of its products have that extra bit of sparkly spread running through like this top here, which also comes with a necklace.

This sequin skirt is elasticated and lined so makes for a comfy wear. Plus, if you want to go full-sparkle, it comes with a matching top.

Julie says: I normally shy away from anything belted but this jumpsuit is an exception. This belt adds extra shape.

The fabric is stretchy which means it’s not restricting, and for only £22, it’s a bargain.

GEORGE AT ASDA

Julie – Dress, £28, George at Asda; necklace, £12, Next; earrings, £8, Boohoo.com; heels, £39.50, M&S… Abby – Jumpsuit, £22, George at Asda; heels, £50, Dorothy PerkinsFab Daily

Abby says: Jewel tones are always a winner at this time of year and this pink jumpsuit from George is not only super-flattering, with the tie waist and wide leg, but the colour really pops.

Julie says: The ruched detailing on the front of this dress and the V-neckline make this dress extra-flattering.

I also really like the shade of blue, and the satin feel.

Plus, the mullet hemline makes it easier to move, which is great if you want to hit the dancefloor this party season.

MARKS & SPENCER

Julie – Jumper, £35, skirt, £25, both M&S; boots, £39.99, New Look; earrings, £10, Claire’s… Abby – Top, £29.50, trousers, £49.50, both M&S; heels, £49, NextFab Daily

Abby says: Step into M&S this season and it’s full of sparkle.

This dark-green co-ord screams Christmas but the sequins aren’t too in your face. Plus, you can mix and match to create more outfits over the festive period.

Julie says: Miniskirts don’t just have to be for the younger generation, I’m 60 in a couple of weeks and still love wearing them with tights.

This sequin skirt adds a touch of sparkle to my look, paired with a bright knit for a cosy yet festive look.

TU AT SAINSBURY’S

Julie – Suit jacket, £28, cami, £12, trousers, £20, all Tu at Sainsbury’s; heels, £32, Asos; earrings, £8, Claire’s… Abby – Dress, £26, Tu at Sainsbury’s; earrings, £8.99, New Look; heels, £55, River IslandFab Daily

Abby says: Tiered dresses are always a favourite of mine as they still give shape but are loose-fitting and comfortable.

This velvet number from Tu can either be dressed up like I’ve done here with killer heels and earrings, or dressed down with some boots and tights.

Julie says: I love this velvet suit, it looks super-smart and I would never in a million years think both pieces would come in at under £50.

At 5ft 7in and with long legs, I sometimes struggle to get trousers to fit me but this pair have hit the mark and fit like a glove.
