The holidays
are a time when we become one with our inner diva and confidentially wear all
the glitz our beings can handle. This season,
evening wear trends take a turn for the different. This might be the year you
invest in a few new party pieces in your winter wardrobe. Here are some trend
notions to get you started shopping.
This season,
look for a little fringe and feathers.
The feel of these details is instant luxury. A hot look is a-symmetrical
fringe. Dresses with feathers at the
hemline, lace dresses finished with long fringe, even car wash fringe is making
a big come back. Because these styles are such a statement in and of
themselves, go simple on your shoe and accessory choices. With makeup, perhaps
a bold lip will be all you need.
The A-Line
dress, which of course is juxtaposed with the pencil dress, are the sought
after silhouettes of this holiday season. The A-line dress is one that looks
great on everyone. Timeless and elegant. Of course, because fashion is a story
of opposites, the other hot silhouette is a pencil dress. This form fitting dress is most trendy this
season when it is longer, a midi length. Know which cut is best for your
figure. Try these styles with a peep toe evening shoe bootie!
Holiday
means metallic; this season the hot metallic hue is champagne. It’s not beige, it’s not pink, and it’s a
little goldish with silver. This metallic is great for any skin tone because it
encompasses both warm and cool undertones. Other great colors for party attire
this season include deep purple and ruby red to marsala. To balance the color
is an abundance of black and white styles from high-end fashion houses. Head to
toe black and head to toe winter white is what the chicest of fashionistas will
wear this season.
70’s
inspiration is seen in fashion this season, evening and party wear is no
exception. 70’s vibe color combinations done in sequins ala Dance Fever. Think disco. Deep necklines, long blouson
sleeves and very short hemlines all harken back to when Saturday Night Fever
was a way of life. This look should be done with hair and makeup that balances
the strong look of this style. Simple hair, beachy waves might be best. With
makeup, a soft lip with strong cat-eye may be a great look for you.
Try plaid
with metallic threads. Plaid is everywhere this season, so of course holiday
collections will include a little plaid done with metallic threads. The
metallic feel will offer a glimpse of formality, while the plaid still carries
the weight of something more casual. Plaid might be a great choice for more
casual affairs on your calendars; office parties, neighborhood get together,
kids holiday programs at school. Plaid can be revved up easily with paired with
leather. Try plaid jacket with leather leggings and a peep toe shoe-boot.
Whatever your social calendar dictates this season, don’t be afraid to infuse a little new-trend into your holiday wardrobe. These styles aren’t going out of style soon, so embrace a “new after-5 you”, and invest in yourself! And remember my rule of thumb in trying a new style, “If you put it on and wonder if its right, the answer is no. If you put it on and instantly stand up straighter and feel like you have more swing in your hip…then the answer is YES!”
