As the nights draw in
and the leaves start to turn the countdown to Christmas begins. The social
calendar also starts to fill up - from formal work parties to casual Christmas
drinks with friends.Deciding what to wear can be a little stressful to
say the least.Here are some helpful hints and tips to combine practical
winter clothing with looking glamorous throughout the festive season.
Keep it Classic
Clothes with a flattering
A-line silhouette look great on all body shapes. An A-line dress is a perfect
example of these classic lines which are not only flattering but is a look that
transitions from day to night by swapping pretty daytime pumps for evening
court shoes. Keeping a statement A-line dress in your wardrobe is
essential.Updating your look from season to season with statement
jewellery and a well designed and
tailored
dress will help you to stay on trend.
Glitz and Sparkle.
Christmas is the
season for a little bit of sparkle in your wardrobe. Try and limit your outfit
to one sparkly item, for example, a sequinned top with plain black trousers or
a black or oxblood red clutch with a some sparkle which will go with most
outfits.
Make it Work
With lots of social
events to attend this season you’d be forgiven for thinking that you’d have to
wear a different outfit to each party.It is, however, possible to put
together a Christmas wardrobe utilising a few key pieces.A statement
dress as well as well-cut smart trousers can be mixed and matched with pretty
tops. Keeping a consistent palette colour across your wardrobe also helps for
example, neutral tones or black, brown and deep reds. Accessorising an outfit
is a great re-style option. A belt, statement heel or jewellery can make a real
difference.
Keeping the cold at
bay doesn't necessarily mean lots of layers or an impractical large coat. Faux
fur is a classic way of adding warmth but not bulk to an outfit, whilst keeping
ultra chic. Fur collars, trimmed gloves and luxurious scarves will all keep you
warm without ruining a sleek, carefully put together look underneath.
Pattern Me Pretty
Patterned prints have
very much stayed on trend from summer to autumn/winter ‘13. Colourful peg
leg trousers match perfectly with leather brogues and a neutral
top.Bright prints don’t have to mean pastel palettes, warm colours like
oranges, pinks and blues work well this season.
Vanessa G’s latest collection combines classic
lines and colourful patterns to create stunning pieces which will surely be a
hit at any Christmas function.
