Party Outfit Must-Haves: Women
With the party season drawing near, it's time to think about those outfit essentials that will keep you sparkling through to the New Year. Whether you're having a family get together or looking for that something special for your work's Christmas party, you'll find style inspiration for every occasion right here!
A Drop of Oxblood
Call it oxblood, call it burgundy, call it wine– this shade by any name is still the season’s hottest. Falling somewhere on the colour spectrum between red and black, it’s perfect for footwear and accessories, delicate party dresses or staple denim. We love this iconic Saint Laurent Monogram bag in oxblood, which will compliment any outfit and fit all those everyday essentials.
A Touch of Tweed
When it comes to festive party wear, forget the outdated tweed that your college professor wore and instead channel Chanel’s iconic bouclé look. Toss a luxe boxy blazer over anything from party dresses to jeans. We adore this tweed jacket by Salvatore Ferragamo, which is a timeless piece and not only great for parties, but also an investment for that everyday stylish yet casual look.
Matte Lips
Make your evening make-up stand apart with a bright lippie. Wear a matte finish with minimal eye makeup and loose hair for a glamorous look without seeming to try-hard. Try this infamous NARS matte lipstick with a highly pigmented matte, non-drying formula that provides a longwearing finish.
A Touch of Velvet
Velvet has been one of the biggest trend of 2015 and it looks amazing in deep colours: red, blue, green, black, AND in blazers. Velvet blazers? Now THAT is something new that will look incredibly cool. We are adding this Dolce & Gabbana Velvet blazer in emerald green to our wish list!
Wrap Up Your Party Look
A statement coat will finish off your party outfit perfectly. This longline faux fur coat will look amazing over a sparkling maxi dress or a classic jumpsuit, and will keep the chill off your shoulders - so it's practical too! Team with a pair of strappy high heels and a glittery clutch bag, and you'll have a look that's both elegant and edgy.
Dress to Impress
A sparkling dress is a sure-fire must have for every Christmas party season. Even if you're not one for wearing dresses every day, the festive season is the perfect time to push your style boundaries and add a little sparkle to your wardrobe.
