Luxury Fashion Looks For Christmas Party Season
The Christmas party season is about to begin, with ladies and gents all over the country
preparing to glam themselves up for their annual festive night out over the next few
weeks.
While hair, make-up, tan and nails are all important to the overall look, if the dress isn’t
right, it all falls apart. This is why women spend so long carefully considering what they
will wear on their sophisticated evening out with their colleagues.
Here are some of the latest fashion trends that will look perfect on a Christmas night
out.
1) Winter florals
Festive attire is typically all about sequins, but this year, winter florals are a huge trend.
Bold large flower prints were all over the catwalk earlier in 2023, with the look having a
Gothic edge to it.
Vogue noted: “Gently grungy at Burberry, they were remixed with black lace at Paco
Rabanne, and were positively otherworld at Noir Kei Ninomiya.”
Erdem, Christopher Kane, Jill Sander, Louis Vuitton, and Carolina Herrera were all big
fans of the look at the Autumn/Winter 2023 fashion shows, so you know they’ll be huge
in the lead-up to Christmas.
2) Corporate suits
Just because you’re going to a Christmas party, it doesn’t mean you have to wear a
dress. In fact, tuxedos are going to become a very popular choice of formal wear among
women this season, with corporate fashion already a big trend.
A smart suit is a great way to go from the boardroom to the bar, swapping a crisp white
shirt for something a bit more glitzy, and switching boots for stilettos.
If you’re looking for suit inspiration, you’ll find plenty these days, as countless designers
showcased corporate fashion on the runway, including Saint Laurent, Louis Vuitton,
Christian Dior, and Valentino.
There are also ways to still be glamorous while wearing a suit. For a start, you could opt
for a tuxedo in a bright colour, such as red or gold. It is also worth getting one with
some sparkle for the festive season.
Choose a jacket with a single button if you want a plunging neckline, and bootcuts are
the style of the day when it comes to trousers, as these look great with a pair of pointy
heels.
3) Black coat
As well as deciding what dress or suit you are going to wear, pay attention to your
choice of coat as well.
This season is all about a tailored black coat, if the catwalks are anything to go by.
Victoria Beckham, Dolce & Gabbana, and Balenciaga all featured long oversized coats in
their collections, making it the perfect choice to wear on top of your glitzy gown.
Black coats look great with everything, but especially a classic little black dress (LBD),
which Diamond & Dresses is so well-known for.
You can’t go wrong with a LBD, and you can guarantee they’ll be a staple in every
Christmas party till the end of time.
The great thing about LBDs, other than being timeless, is that they are super flattering,
so you don’t have to worry about indulging in the festive menu too much, as black hides
everything.
4) Luxurious materials
Christmas party fashion wouldn’t be the same if it didn’t include gowns, playsuits and
jackets in luxurious materials.
This is the season when velvets, silks, chiffons, lace and glitter come out to play, so
don’t be afraid of having texture in your outfit.
Not only do these materials catch the light brilliantly, making you sparkle, but they add
glitz and glamour to what may otherwise be a simple design.
This year, fashion is even more extravagant, with feathers, sequins and skirt fringes
being seen in high street stores, as well as on the catwalks.
This isn’t the season to play it safe though, so be as brave as you want to. Although
plenty of Brits end up embarrassing themselves at their Christmas party, with one-third
doing so on the dancefloor alone, nobody seems to get ashamed about a bold outfit
choice.
You needn’t worry if you think your dress is ‘too much’ during the party season, as there
is no such thing as ‘too much’ when it comes to Christmas fashion!
