10 Standout Pieces from Phase Eight’s Limited Partywear Capsule—Perfect for Any Occasion
From bubble-hem maxi dresses to elevated LBDs


As a seasoned fashion writer, I am often asked about the best time to start looking for party season outfits. And although Halloween and Bonfire Night are still forthcoming, I can happily advocate that October is a great time to start looking.
And although there are evening festivities all year round, a pro tip is always to keep an eye out during this time of year, as one thing's for sure: your favourite retailers are gearing up and beginning to launch stunning eveningwear that will see you through Christmas, winter weddings, and dare I say, even Valentine's Day.
And this season, Phase Eight’s limited capsule collection is one not to miss. It features a range of premium looks showcasing refined silhouettes and statement finishes, with a focus on exquisitely crafted, timeless eveningwear. Offering a more directional vision for the brand, expect minimalist dresses with sleek bubble hems, diamante appliqués, and a polished take on seasonal favourites like velvet and sparkling fabrics. Combining minimalist designs with a contemporary edge, it’s no surprise these are already among the brand’s most standout pieces for the new season.
So, if you, like me, are on the lookout for formal pieces to wear time and time again, here are the pieces from Phase Eight’s limited capsule that are cementing themselves at the top of my wish list.
