Choosing a party outfit you can wear all year round
Christmas and New Year parties are coming up, and choosing an outfit is always a bit of a tricky business. In addition, it’s not always easy to wear these kinds of items again, and our glittery clothes often lie dormant in the wardrobe for the rest of the year. Here is our advice for party outfits that are easy to wear again, by adding an original touch to your everyday outfits.
A gold or silver top with a pair of jeans
We love gold or silver tops! Be careful to wear this chic top with a plainer item to avoid looking like a disco ball and to help you stay on trend. A pair of stonewashed jeans is your best ally in this situation!
This winning and festive jean/top combo also works with a silky or shiny shirt. Don’t forget a pair of high heels or boots for an ultra-feminine look (a trendy pair of trainers will do the job just as well!).
A velvet suit and trainers
A velvet suit is the ultra-trendy feminine outfit that is being worn by all the fashionistas right now. We love the range of colours available: black, burgundy or dark green. The must when you wear it in the daytime: slip on a white t-shirt and a pair of white leather trainers. This trendy feminine look is also perfect as eveningwear.
A silky skirt and an XXL pullover
Have you opted for a long, silky skirt for New Year’s Eve? Give it a second life by wearing it with a long XXL pullover that subtly reveals your shoulder. A casual chic outfit that is easy to wear with a pair of smart shoes or trainers for a more streetwear look. We particularly love the pleated silky skirt with a soft oversize pullover for the winter.
Have you got a sequined skirt? The same idea applies: wear an open weave pullover in a similar shade and a pair of high-heeled boots for an ultra-feminine look.
A metallic dress and a turtleneck
Metallic dresses are very trendy items that we are currently seeing all over the catwalks. Don’t be afraid to wear it for a shopping trip out with your friends, along with a turtleneck pullover. This adds a lowkey touch to offset a strappy metallic dress and allows you to wear it throughout the winter.
A gold jacket and a pair of jeans
Have you got a gold jacket with sequins, and you only ever think to get it out for New Year’s Eve? What a waste! This is another item that will go perfectly with a pair of jeans and gives a more basic outfit a welcome boost. Wear it with a pair of sneakers or ankle boots and don’t add too many larger accessories, to help avoid too much of a “bling-bling” look.
A tulle skirt and a sweater
The tulle skirt is the ideal romantic item. It’s impossible not to think of Carrie Bradshaw, the fashion icon from Sex and the City, who really had things sussed in terms of style!
For a trendy and stylish look like our idol, it can be worn simply along with a pair of sneakers and a sweater.
A black dress and a pair of cowboy boots
We’ve all got a little black party dress (or even several actually) that we would love to wear in other situations without knowing how to pull it off. It’s easy! This year, cowboy boots are making a big comeback, so you should pick out a nice black pair to go with a leather jacket or a smart blazer. This is a great way to recycle your slip dress with style.
Party accessories and basic outfits
Belt, shoes, jewellery, bags, clutch bags… we all have accessories that we bought specially to personalise our party outfits!
For daywear, feel free to get these accessories out of the closet and match them with more basic looks to pep them up a bit. The details are key though! This is the best way of asserting your style and your personality.
Have you got a pair of silver boots? They will go perfectly with a pair of black slim jeans!
Clutch bags, party bags and rhinestone belts can easily be recycled to go with an outfit for going out to dinner and partying during the week or at the weekend.
