If you are all geared to attend parties in the new year, you need to know how to dress for the occasion in an eye-catching manner. Most parties are festive and a little wild, and your style needs to reflect that. To leave a lasting impression, choose a daring, glitzy outfit and appropriate shoes and accessories. Finish your look by highlighting your best facial features with dramatic makeup.
STYLE ‘X’
Nothing embellishes party dressing better than metallics! A classic sheath silhouette with peplum detail gives off the perfect 50s vibe…and yet has a ladylike feel. This year the best style statement would be to add the sparkle factor a little further and layer your dress with a statement neckpiece and a sweet metallic belt - to define and flatter your waistline. Wearing the right outerwear is key to maintaining your look, and also helps you stay warm without sacrificing style. Pastels have been a trend this fall/winter and they look so fresh when mixed with metallic, to give you that chic look. Finish with a classic pump in a gunmetal finish, and a metallic box clutch.
STYLE ‘Y’
The new little black dress is the little black jumpsuit! This piece has been gaining popularity amongst fashion ‘it’ girls and on red carpets. It’s because this style is just so easy to wear – just like a dress, it takes the guesswork out of co-ordinating an outfit, and you can easily dress it up or down. The structural peplum detail defines the waist but flatters the tummy, making it the perfect piece for evening parties. In terms of accessories, go for a beaded clutch with a fun tribal pattern, and team it with an almost sporty black and white strappy pump.
STYLE ‘Z’
If you haven’t already, it’s time to strike out black and blue from your list of fashion faux pas! This colour combination is a winner for a dramatic look. Skirts of all lengths and silhouettes have been trending recently. So, for a glam look this year, don’t hesitate to try a style that is a little more covered up but curve hugging - like the floor-grazing option of the long black skirt. Add some edgy accessories like a studded metallic clutch and cutout booties. To finish the look, layer it with a striking blue satin jacket – which lends a little bit of a menswear twist.
Remember, in 2015 you are going to be dancing, and you want to be flirty and fun, but most of all you want to be the best dressed. So sparkle with colour, be festive, style X to Z…and stand out.
