Seasonal Styling

Well it is the season of sparkliness, so I thought I’d offer you some top tips on Seasonal Party styling.  You may find yourself attending a few more social events this year than we were allowed last year, so here are some tips for choosing your party outfits.

Firstly, where possible, recycle outfits you’ve worn before – this is the most sustainable way of dressing this party season!!  You could even think about renting your outfit from somewhere like Hurr Collective, HireStreet, By Rotation or My Wardrobe HQ.

Think about comfort as well as style – basically you are going to be eating, standing and dancing in it, so what your outfit needs is equal proportions of glamour, comfort and seasonal sass!

Tempting though it is to wear sequins from top to toe, this may not be the best choice for your shape or style personality – if you do want to sparkle, think about mixing sequins with other materials such as velvet, or feathers for a cool and interesting look. Maybe a skirt or jacket, or top with sequins, not all 3!

                                              

Remember that sparkles draw attention so wear them on parts of your body that you want to show off!

Don’t overlook your accessories either – the right necklace or earrings can really set off your outfit and this is the time of year when your bag can also be a statement piece – your handbag can bring your whole outfit together, so don’t make it an afterthought!

Finally – wear realistic shoes that wont crush your feet and will allow you to stand and dance comfortably – a comfortable wedge, or block heel are bang on trend and will give your feet more support than vertiginous heels!
