Cocktail Party Pieces (Perfect Together, Fabulous Alone)


It may be a little on the early side to start penning a Christmas List, but my love of sparkly things has me dreaming of festive cocktail party- worthy attire. As glitter, sequins, jewel- tones and metallics come out in full force for the holiday season, in fashion journals and fall/winter collections alike, I’m finding myself inspired. With this in mind, I’ve compiled a list of some of the most covetable pieces that we’ll be seeing this holiday season. 





 Tuxedo Jacket: A sharply tailored black blazer anchors the wildest of Christmas bling, while a metallic or jewel- toned one is a go- to statement piece that will elevate any ensemble.

Lace: It’s sexy and pretty and adds just the right touch of softness peeking out from under a menswear- inspired blazer.









 Red: Studies have repeatedly found that men are most attracted to women clad in red, but that should come as no to surprise to those of us who’ve already made shades of crimson a part of our regular rotation.  Leave the LBD at home, step out in a red cocktail dress, and conduct your own survey.






Wild Accessories:  Gold python bracelets that snake up the wrist, shoulder- skimming earrings in all types and colours of feathers and gemstones, oversized belts adorned with sequins and glitter, and hosiery in cheetah, paisley, and open lace patterns add the kind of unexpected flare that takes an outfit to the next level.










 


Sequins and Sparkle and Glitter (oh My): Whether adorning a top, be it close fitting or flowing; a dress, whether shift or A- Line… you get the idea. The holiday season gives us an excuse to bust out the sparkly things, and so long as it’s kept to a reasonable limit shine is a must- have element in festive dressing.
J Lo demonstrates the versatility of the look with five very different approaches that take the festive stuff from wearable workwear to nighttime drama.



And…


For the casual family affair: Embellished/ Patterned tights with an oversized cable knit sweater and booties. Simple perfection.
