Picking a party dress
Print Edition
The festive season is upon us and that means a new party dress and dazzling accessories are in order. Whether it’s sequins, feather trims or sculptural draping, think outlandish and invest in the most eye-catching creations to ensure you are the best-dressed guest at your Christmas 2014 bash.
Tamara Ralph of couture eveningwear label Ralph & Russo once said “If in doubt, go long.” It’s better to be overdressed than underdressed and a stunning gown always looks elegant. The look gives the impression of a classic and elegant woman with endless glamor. Carry the romantic aesthetics down to your feet with bejeweled heels.
But remember there are no rules.
Draw inspiration from catwalk trends and the latest designer collections. Look for Patrizia Pepe’s fall/winter collection, a hint of sexiness makes the look feel modern and youthful. Versatile feminine pieces such as lace dresses, cool slim fit trousers, short skirts with cool details, or versatile tunics all add a cool vibe to a party look.
When choosing colors, rich burgundy and hot red are great for the season, especially in velvet fabrics. It’s also hard to go wrong with black, which exudes sophistication and elegance.
However, the key is balance. If you slip into a vibrant, dazzling gown, keep your accessories to a minimum and match a sleek clutch. If you opt for a simpler outfit, have statement pieces and glittery party makeup.
The best thing about your look is how versatile it is. Each part is interchangeable so find the right combination for you and feel confident in the knowledge that you look fabulous. Throw on a faux fur shawl or dashing coat before you go out.
This fall is about deep, rich makeup — even better if you double-dip on nails and lips. Use stronger pigments and luminous textures to keep it modern.
