October is when the Christmas invitations start appearing. There’s the work party to organise, dinner with friends and all those end-of-year get-togethers that seem to fill the diary at once. Then comes the familiar question: what to wear?
If you’re not particularly keen on buying another dress for a single evening, a statement shirt is worth considering. Wear it with trousers you already own, add your favourite shoes and you have an outfit that works for a night out without feeling overdone.
At Yuniku London, we design shirts for women who enjoy wearing something a little different. Here are a few styles to consider as the festive season approaches.
A little sparkle for the evening
Sequins have their place at Christmas, but they don't have to mean a full-on party outfit. A shirt with some sparkle can be just enough, especially when worn with simple trousers or a skirt.
The Modern Teal Sequins Shirt is an option for an evening when you want something more interesting than your usual going-out top. Pair it with black trousers and heels, or dress it down with dark denim for dinner with friends.
For something more playful, take a look at the Camel Polka Dot Sequins Shirt. The pattern gives it a different character, while the sparkle makes it suitable for festive plans.
Keep the rest of your outfit simple and let the shirt stand out.
A Christmas party doesn't have to mean a dress
Some of the best evening outfits start with a good pair of trousers. Add a shirt with an interesting collar, a little embellishment or an unusual finish, and you’re ready for dinner, drinks or the office party.
The Navy Crystal Bow Shirt is worth a look if you prefer a more understated approach to evening dressing.
Wear it with tailored trousers for a work event, or try it with a skirt when you want to dress it up a little more. You can also bring it back into your everyday wardrobe after Christmas, rather than putting it away until the next party.
What will you wear it with after Christmas?
This is always worth thinking about before buying something new.
Could you wear the shirt with jeans for lunch on the weekend? Would it work with trousers for a dinner out? Could you style it differently for another event?
A good shirt gives you options. You might wear it with heels one evening and flats the next, or change the whole look simply by swapping your trousers for a skirt.

Small collections, individual pieces
We produce our collections in small batches. Some designs are available in just a handful of pieces, and occasionally we create a one-off.
So if you come across a shirt you love, it's worth checking the available sizes rather than assuming every style will be restocked.
Can't find your size? Get in touch before ruling it out. Depending on the design and the fabric available at the time, we may be able to discuss a made-to-measure option. This depends on the style being suitable, as well as fabric availability.
You can contact us on WhatsApp to ask about a particular shirt, sizing or a made-to-measure enquiry.

Whether you have a diary full of festive plans or just one evening you're looking forward to, start with something you know you'll enjoy wearing.
