  • Festive outfit ideas

    Festive outfit ideas

    WE are in the season of parties again despite the challenges of a pandemic. There are so many celebrations to attend during this festive period.

    Most Christmas holidays are reserved for parties, family outings, dinners, get-togethers with friends and associates, dates, clubbing, cocktails, birthdays and so on. These events often require heavy dressing and different dress codes.

    Below are some ideas on what to wear from sequins party dresses, high heels to trendy accessories. We have got some style inspirations for a stylish celebration.

    Dinner party

    The ideal outfit would be chic, comfortable, polished and warm. Go for golden glamour in a shimmer dress. Keep your look sparkly and fun with studded heels, along with a faux fur trimmed blazers, shrug or bolero jacket.

    Just make sure that whatever you choose, you manage to look sophisticated and elegant. Pair this outfit with strappy heels and a clutch or small purse to complete the look.

    Office party

    You cannot go wrong with a black little dress or knee-length dress. You can throw on a nicely cut blazer in red or green to embrace the season’s spirit. Finish off with trendy well-balanced pumps, if you feel up to it and a cute clutch purse.

    Casual chic

    Just rock whatever makes you feel comfortable — since there is no dress code. This look is about dressing and feeling comfortable and sophisticated at the same time. Therefore, pick shoes with small heels.

  • Nail this season’s hottest trend

    Nail this season’s hottest trend

    RED is one of the traditional colours of Christmas and this season, it’s always in full display.  There are numerous ways in which you could rock the red look without looking like Santa Claus.

    You could to go for a mono-dress or two-piece matching hues; or mix things up with a blouse or trouser that is a little darker or brighter than the other wear.

    Celebrities like Juliet Ibrahim and Venita Akpofure are taking the red carpet to new heights by donning stylish frocks in the show-stopping hue.

    Take a cue from these celebs and ditch those Little Black Dresses for Little Red Dresses. For the wow effect, go for a frock in true red, the more vibrant the better.

    Dresses with textural details like frills, ruffles, pleats or velvet panels add interest to the look without taking away from the hue’s brilliance.

    When picking your accessories, beware of clashing colours. Remember, this is not a dress you want your shoes or purse to compete with. Top the look off with smoky eyes and a nude lip, or if you are feeling daring, try a red lip and just make sure the shade matches your dress.

    Two-piece trends are one of the ways to rock the scene this season. One interesting thing about fashion items is that they have a way of bouncing back again and again.

    With endless choices and different combos, two-piece sets will keep you looking stylish and classy. You can rock the same pattern two-piece set together or mix and match with neutral hues to add a subtle and sexy appeal to your look.
