Party Time with 16Arlington
30th October, '25
At 16Arlington, even the quintessential Little Black Dress gets the ultimate treatment, this season finished with an opulent feather-trimmed hem line and cuffs. For this has long been a brand synonymous with giving it your all, for those ready to party and look on point whilst doing so. The brand’s AW25 collection nods to the 80s – a decade of excess that translates into feathers, sequins and striking silhouettes (yes, minimalists, look away). Here’s a peek at our favourite pieces from Marco Capaldo’s newest collection and the low down on how we’ll be wearing them for party season.
Leaning into the era’s powerful influence from music, fashion and film, 16Arlington AW25 is bold, captivating and absolutely not made for staying in. Their Electra Silver Gown – a full length sequin encrusted dress that will turn heads and stop traffic is the party dress of the season. For an edgy take, pair the dress with long leather gloves, and bold calf skin boots from Jude.
If you like your dresses shorter, their feather trimmed mini dress falls effortlessly in a luxurious and weighty black georgette fabric – a winning look paired with Coperni’s Embellished Star Cut-out Pumps.
For the ultimate disco-ready edge, the Ovica Sequin Top paired with matching Delta Midi Skirt fuses lady-like hem and necklines with party-primed textured silver sequins. Feeling the chill? Layer with LVIR’s Shearling Collarless Jacket.
The appeal of 16Arlington’s designs lie not just in their fun-filled details but also in their wearability. Capaldo balances a liberal use of sequins with timeless cuts and silhouettes, ensuring these are pieces you can wear again and again – essential for any party-season closet. And when the party’s over? They’re naturally ready to work with layering. Try cosy knitwear layered over the Electra Silver Gown paired with sneakers or the brand’s Burgundy Loida Sequin Top with crisp pale denim for casual contrast. Now, who’s ready to go out?
