Festive Fashion – Dressing With A Difference

Different options for the party season

Cathy Donohue

Festive fashion is typically viewed as indulging your inner glitter girl…sparkles, spangles and metallic shades are par for the course.

However, dressing like a human Christmas tree isn’t for everyone and there are alternative options.

Instead of full-on sequins, try some of the muted metallics that are popular this season.

Buying staple pieces that will withstand the test of time tends to work better than just following the current trends, chances are they won’t be fashionable by the time February rolls around.

The gallery above features separated pieces that can be mixed and worn with items already in your wardrobe.

Less effort and less stress resulting in a relaxed but chic look… this is dressing we can get on board with.

Pair the denim shorts featured with a baggy knit and opaque tights for an off-duty casual look.

High tops and a jumpsuit is laid-back style personified, perfect for spontaneous Christmas drinks.

Rather than attempting to wear those skyscraper heels for the third night in a row, take a break and team your pencil skirt with a simple t-shirt, flats and a blazer.

We love getting dressed up but there’s no harm in taking a night off every once in a while…
