It’s Party time!
W00 hoo.
Whether it’s Christmas drinks or a New Year’s Eve celebration it’s time to get out of those sweat pants and those practical dad sandals ( yes, I am talking to you!) and into something glamorous and festive.

OMG : What to wear

It’s easy:
You need black. You need white. You need silver.
Then mix it up with a sprinkle of metallics, gold and sequins.
Glitter and paillettes were a huge trend on the runways ( see below).
Meaning?
The trend is here to stay: It’s time to go cray, cray and invest in anything sparkly and shiny.
And it’s nice to know you’ll get more than one season of wear.

You don’t necessarily always need a new dress or top ( don’t worry I have found some fab dresses below) but instead invest in a few sensational standout accessories.

These accessories are not just for Christmas. Perfect all year round. Which means you’re not just buying something that’s a one off; this is investment dressing and excellent cost per wear.

Styling tips:

Stick to minimal classic colours – black, white , navy is always sophisticated – but update them into new modern shapes ( that means an LBD that is LONG, slouchy pants, tops with big sleeves and jumpsuits.)
With black make sure it has texture shine or embellishments: velvet, sequins, leather.
Mix up gold and silver : it’s the modern way to dress.
But matching a gold bag with gold earrings and cuff ? Totally fine.
If you don’t want to buy new shoes just pull out your white summer heels and add major earrings and a clutch bag. Done.
With accessories it’s best to keep one single piece the centre of attention. Major earrings OR a major necklace. Never both. If you have too much going on it just confuses the eye and it actually waters down the effect.
Oh and you look a mess. (You might be feeling a mess but you don’t want to look it !)
You are not a Christmas tree.
When in doubt put on wide white pants – instead of grabbing black pants – so much more modern.
I have picked out lots of heels here but a chic metallic flat is totally modern with slouchy pants and halter top: Add sparkle earrings and a silver clutch and it’s low key relaxed dressing.
Remember keep it simple, look effortless and FEEL chic !
