IN PARTNERSHIP WITH BROWN THOMAS
The festive season calls for glamour and the right party pieces will ensure you own the room …
There’s never been a better time to embrace the art of dressing up. At Brown Thomas, the array of partywear includes dazzling dresses, sleek silhouettes and sparkling accessories, all of which have a timeless sense of elegance. For those who love the enduring appeal of a statement dress we’re gravitating towards burgundy embellished styles from Erdem, while Self-Portrait and Staud lead the charge in terms of the LBD. For minimalists, Khaite and Stella McCartney offer a masterclass in contemporary eveningwear. As for tailoring? New York designer Nili Lotan inspires us with cropped velvet black dinner jackets that nod to 1970s bohemia, while Victoria Beckham’s black blazer is the kind of wear-forever structured jacket that is heavy on appeal. Look to Australian brand Posse’s refined black tailored trousers which come with decadent bow detailing. The right accessories will ensure you stand out. Right now, we’re coveting the nostalgia of Miu Miu’s mini hobo bag which is drenched in black sequins. Liven up a classic look with sparkling shoes: seek out gold and silver embellished tones at Jimmy Choo, Christian Louboutin and KG by Kurt Geiger. Lastly, a faux fur or shearling jacket will add texture to you look. Look to brands like Zadig & Voltaire: its cropped black jacket imbues any party outfit with a cool-girl edge.
