There are so many get-togethers during the year worth getting dressed up for, such as birthdays, engagements, anniversaries, and many more. However, now we’re in the biggest party season of all – the Christmas party season – determining the most appropriate attire for a party can be stressful and confusing.
Furthermore, even when the dress code is stated explicitly, the vocabulary might be difficult to understand. So you will be pleased to know you have come to the right place if you want the best outfits for the party season.
Here are some tips to ensure you stand out at each party you attend.
90s Fashion Trends
Nostalgia is in the air, and it is here to stay. If you examine the 90s’ fashion era, you will see that it was all about colours, slip dresses, mom jeans, chokers, crop tops, and plaid skirts, which are still a trending hot topic.
Go for a 90s theme outfit if you want to stay on trend. A combination of these items is simple to wear and match.
For example, you can combine High Waisted 90s Fit Dad Jeans with a classic 90s crop top and accessories. Or a sequin 90s slip dress will be sure to turn heads.
Formal Party Dress
Sometimes, it can be easier to dress for a formal party compared to other events, especially if you have the right outfit. A classic draped velvet dress, heels, and clutch is a combination that is simple and elegant.
On the other hand, you could also opt for a chiffon skirt that offers elegance to any formal party and are a girl’s favourite. Ball gown-styled formal dresses are also a great way to give a royal look for your formal event. They also look amazing on every body shape.
This royal blue off-the-shoulder pleated tulle gown would look stunning for many formal occasions, not just Christmas.
For a stylish yet sexy look which screams Christmas, check out this red bow front dress sure to make you shine at any cocktail party.
Accessories are one of the factors that ensure that your party outfit maintains its fashionable appearance while fitting in with the theme of the party. Try this stunning faux pearl-embellished lamé clutch bag. Or some disco fringe gold-plated and silver crystal statement earrings by Pearl Octopussy.
Skinny Jeans and a Sexy Top
For a more casual party setting, a sexy top with skinny jeans is another fashion favourite. The combination is cute yet flirtatious at the same time. And it makes sure you’re staying on trend.
A sequin cami ticks the trend box for sequins and 90s style and will elevate simple jeans and heels as well as velvet or leather trousers.
This one-shoulder embellished paneled satin and crepe top by Loewe is just gorgeous and ever so simple.
Jeans and a top would look great with some standout party shoes and a sparkly clutch bag.
Sequins
Sequins and the festive party season go hand in hand. It’s fun to dress extravagantly, especially during the days leading up to Christmas.
Nothing is as eye-catching as a glittery sequin dress. A tip is to keep the accessories as simple as possible because a sequin dress can be striking and attention-grabbing.
You can try out this beautiful v-neck Sequin dress paired with high-heel platform sandals with rhinestones and mixed stone drop earrings.
For a flirty mini, there is nothing more decadent than an outfit from The Vampire’s Wife, particularly this gorgeous sequinned mini dress in a range of colours.
Don’t fancy wearing a dress? Then try this high-necked sequin top from Whistles with some jeans or tailored trousers for a comfortable, stylish yet on-trend look.
Velvet
Velvet is linked with elegance, femininity, and luxury. Dress colours that would look amazing in velvet are amethyst, black diamond, emerald, ruby, and sapphire. If you feel confident, try this velvet mini dress, otherwise, a blue, long-sleeved velvet midi dress ticks all the boxes if you want to stay warm, yet stylish.
Try some high-heeled platforms to go with the velvet. They are seriously on trend and you don’t have to spend a fortune such as these block-heeled Mary Janes or edgy studded shoes. However, these Mach & Mach beauties are to die for and so classic you’ll bring them out again and again.
If you don’t fancy wearing a dress but want something elegant and understated, then try this velvet jumpsuit. Match it with the right shoes and go big on accessories and you’ll have the perfect party outfit.
Final Thoughts
Feeling confident in your looks does not require you to fulfil social standards, it is all about you and only you. Dress up if it makes you feel confident and beautiful. And most of all, have fun!
