Striking Silhouette
Following a fabric to fit formula can do wonders in making your outfit look sleek. The fabric to fit formula follows two basic principles. The first rule is that simple fabrics should be fitted or tailored to your body. The second rule is that more unique fabrics should be looser. For example, your gorgeous crushed red velvet jumpsuit should be fitted, while your latest lamé dress in silver metallic would look much better if it weren’t skin tight.
Take a look at this stunning tailored little black dress—it flairs and tappers in all the right places. The short black Duchesse is a one-shoulder dress fitted on the body with an exaggerated skirt. It features a hand-stitched rose on the waist and draped bodice with tonal micro sequin accents. Finally, it has a typical zip closure on the center back. This piece certainly follows the fit formula rule.
Be Individual
During the holidays, it can be easy to gravitate towards the status quo style. If you want to refresh your winter wardrobe, choose clothes that stand out from the crowd. We love the idea of women reaching for a long formal dress in silk or some bold color for special events. Why do we just love maxi options this season? Not only is it a way more comfortable choice, but the unique style is far more intriguing than yet another sequin bodycon dress.
Other unique and relaxed garments could be a ruby velvet jumpsuit or a Peony Kimono Dress.
Pick a Focal Point
Sometimes we see women who try to fit everything glamorous into one look, but it turns out excessive. This could be an outfit of sparkly makeup, a sequin dress, glittery shoes, and stacks of jewelry. A look like this can feel overdone. If you want to look balanced, pick one focal point to stand out. For example, if you want to wear a silver sparkly dress, opt for nude heels and light makeup, no jewelry, and a simple bag. This creates an effortless juxtaposition as opposed to an overstated look.
On the other hand, say you have the perfect little black dress set aside for your New Year’s Eve outfit. Then, your accessory can be the standout piece. You can have quite a bit of fun with accessories since there are many different avenues to take. You could wear a glittery bag, decorative earrings, or standout shoes to give you an idea. But remember, it is important to only choose one focal piece, even with just accessories, to avoid an overdone appearance.
Welcome Movement
It is important to include movement in a balanced party outfit, and we aren’t talking about going for a run beforehand. If you’re wondering what to wear for New Year’s Eve, choosing a clothing item with feathers, fringe, or flow is sure to glitter and shine on the dance floor. Try opting for a fringe suede jacket or a dress with feather accents.
Like choosing a focal point, you can follow this tip if you want to add movement to your outfit. Instead of getting movement in each piece, you can select one item to do the ‘dancing.’ Perhaps you will choose boots with fringe accents or a dress with feather trim. The movement trend is fun and allows you to express yourself while making a fashion statement.
And of Course, Sparkles
What says New Year’s Eve outfits better than sparkles? An embellished mini cocktail dress is a perfect choice for any occasion on December 31st. The key here is not to go overboard with accessories or shoes and make the dress center stage. You’ll want to grab some blush heels, nude lipstick, and a rose purse to complete your party look.
There are some other ways you can incorporate sparkles into your New Year’s Eve party outfits. Perhaps you want to look a bit cooler and more understated. You can opt for a shimmering eyeshadow to compliment a sleek black tuxedo. Or, grab some sequin pants for an unusual twist on the glittery holiday trend.
