Remember, remember the fifth of November! Bonfire Night is swiftly approaching, and if like me, you’ve been stumped on what to wear, you’re in luck. Whether your Bonfire Night will consist of a trip to the pub and watching a firework display from a comfortable seat, or if you’ll be treking up a hill for a chilly evening under the stars, I’ve collated outfits that will see you through the evening in both warmth and style. Tapping into some of the season’s favourite trends, the below easy outfit ideas will have you looking as you chic as you possibly can for an evening of neck-craning merriment.
Read on to shop my Bonfire Night outfit ideas, comprised of picks from high-street favourites as well as a few designer goodies.
1. A CHIC, SEATED EVENING
Style Notes: Throw on a long-sleeved dress and pack on the warm layers for a chic ensemble that will have you feeling put-together and cosy. Leather knee-high boots will help you retain the heat, and a good wool scarf won’t go amiss on a November evening.
