The festive season can fly by in a flurry of shopping, decorating, family gatherings and parties. It’s a busy time but there’s no reason why you shouldn’t take some time for yourself to look and feel your best. No matter what your social calendar has in store this Christmas, Kaleidoscope has the perfect outfit for every occasion.
Christmas Market
Venturing out in the cold to your nearest Christmas market to browse the stalls and sip mulled wine is an exercise in clever layering to wrap up against the elements. Don’t let that stop you from injecting a little Christmas sparkle into your look, however. A pair of statement boots, a cosy faux-fur trim wrap or an embellished scarf will keep you looking festive even when you’re wrapped up in your most snug winter warmers.
Office Party
A work Christmas party can vary from a few drinks at the office to a formal company do. If your party is going to be a cheap and cheerful affair which doesn’t call for a full wardrobe change, simply upgrade your work wear with a sequin jacket and some glitzy accessories. If you’re lucky enough to be heading to a more sophisticated affair, however, avoid short hemlines and low necklines – sticking to cuts and shapes you class as ‘office appropriate’ is a good rule of thumb. But don’t hold back on the glamour; sequins and shine are most definitely in order here.
Family Time
Whether you’re hosting or planning a day out and about, at a family gathering you’re sure to be called upon to lend a hand with cooking, travel, drinks or children, so take that into account when planning your outfit. A top and trousers combination, or a dress that has some movement and give to it are practical options that won’t cramp your seasonal style. A statement coat that’s warm is a smart choice for layering style and comfort.
Cocktail Party
A sophisticated cocktail party is an opportunity to get dressed up to the nines and pull on a show stopping gown. Opulent detailing, rich fabrics and sweeping lines will set the tone of a dramatic look. For maximum impact, style your outfit with shimmering accessories which reflect and accentuate the elegant details of your dress.
