It’s the festive season and that means end of year catch up drinks, Summer bbq’s, work drinks and parties, Christmas Day and New Years Eve celebrations but what do you wear for all of these occasions? Well, it is quite easy!
The humble dress is a one-stop for a stylish, easy start with a simple add of gorgeous shoes and a clutch or handbag and you are done.
We have created five outfits for you to cover every occasion this silly season:
Christmas Drinks or Dinner
A floral dress can provide understated elegance without being too over the top. The Atmos&Here Nerissa panel dress is incredibly mock wrap skirt. A classic black bag can take you anywhere and this gorgeous bag by Tony Bianco offers a stylish, practical bag with feature gold fixtures which is perfect for all occasions. Black feature heels elongate the leg and the strap detail offer a stylish modern twist on a classic heel.
Clockwise: Atmos&Here Erika Wrap Dress, Tony Bianco Kettle handbag and Billini Pippa heels.
Work Lunch
A simple red dress is sophisticated and stylish for work but will also look Christmasy for lunch out. We love the Dorothy Perkins Manipulated Crepe Front dress for it’s classic work outfit styling with a twist. The feature emphasises the waist but the draped material hides a tummy. A tote is a must-have for a working woman. The Oroton tote has enough room to add a small laptop or tablet and everything else we need for the working day. A classic pair of black heels is an essential in any woman’s wardrobe and we love this beautiful pair from Nine West.
Clockwise: Dorothy Perkins Manipulated Crepe Frill Front Dress, Oroton Estate Tote and Nine West Nora Heels.
Holiday BBQ’s
You can’t go past a gorgeous, comfortable maxi for a relaxed bbq or get together with friends. We love the comfortable sandles and gorgeous tan bag. What does together better than blue and tan?
Clockwise: Atmos&Here Evita Maxi Dress, Tony Bianco Meister handbag and SPURR Elise Block Heel Sandal.
Christmas Day
A pretty elastic waist dress hides a lunch tummy and is casual but dressy enough for a restaurant lunch. Team with beautiful and comfortable block sandals. The gold detail offers a Chrismassy feel. The bag adds a statement element to any outfit.
Clockwise: Forever New Eva Midi Dress, Ted Baker Kieraa bag and Spurr Amelia Block Heels.
New Years Eve
A New Years Eve outfit calls for some sparkle and fun. The pretty, flirty lace detail dress is the perfect New Years Eve dress with added glamour from gold heels and a matching clutch is a must. How cute is this clutch?
