Christmas party outfits: Top five bodycon dresses

By Andrea Petrou on December 15th, 2011

If you want to make an entrance at that New Year’s Eve or Christmas party then look no further than the bodycon frock.

Inspired by Herve Leger’s bandage dress, this style is as versatile as they come and the highstreet is covered in a range of different styles.

Go for this year’s panelled look or keep it festive with a red or green hue. Add some lace for a gothic feel or stick to a simple black dress in this style for a classic yet modern look.

Those feeling extra Christmassy can also opt for sequins ensuring they sparkle at this year’s parties.

Designer Christmas party hair inspiration: The updo

By Andrea Petrou on December 8th, 2011

Updos are always a hot look around the AW season, especially in December when the Christmas and New Year’s eve parties are in full swing.

This season this traditional look has been revamped and interpreted into a modern look, which gives a nod to the ballet trend as well as the 80s.

Simple, yet intricate neat buns  were hot on the YSL and Donna Karen catwalks, whilst low ponytails made an appearance at Gucci. 80s sleek chic was also a trend showcased at Fendi and Missoni.

With so many styles to choose from this season, we guarantee you’ll look hot at that party.

See the gallery below for designer hair inspiration.

Top five metallic dresses for the Christmas party season

By Andrea Petrou on December 7th, 2011

As we pointed out in our last post, metallics were hot on the AW 2011 catwalks. Balmain bought us the blazer, while Stella McCartney showed metallic pieces in sporty silhouettes, which is great news for the ladies who aren’t as girly as some.

And of course the highstreet is packed full of these sparkly lovelies, which brighten up any style, just in time for the Christmas party season.

Go for a simple tunic dress for a casual work party or go all out with a fierce bodycon number. If you’re not too keen on showing off those pins then there’s also a great range of metallic tees, which look great teamed up with shinny jeans.

See our top five picks in the gallery below.
