There is no
denying it now, the winter Christmas crazy party season is just around the
corner…diaries will soon be booked up with nights out, office get togethers,
dinners, drinks…you name it…all needing a fabulous outfit to wow your peers
with. BUT…that age old problem will rear its ugly head when it comes to flimsy party dresses…how do you keep warm!!
Now, while
there are some of us who live and die by the winter rule of cab to club,
meaning that they don’t enter the outside world at all on a night out. Instead
opting to jump from a taxi into a venue with the minimum amount of time
outside. The majority of us however are forced to step outside to get from a to
b and there are a few simple tricks that you can follow to look AMAZING in your
skimpy dress but also keep yourself warm while in transit.
First
up…tights…now I know, these are not the most attractive accessories to have in
your closet but in winter they are a must have. Depending on what dress you
choose to wear, I would highly recommend having the appropriate coloured tights
to match. That’s why I think black is a great choice for winter nights out, as
you can pair with plain or patterned black tights that not only look good but
keep your legs cosy and warm. Skin coloured tights don’t really look that great
and are also by nature quite thin so won’t keep you as warm as their black
counterparts.
Anyway, black is always a more dramatic and
sexy vibe for wild nights out!
Or, if
you're a brave mini dress lover and it's hard for you to give
it up even in the cold winter, a pair of knee high boot is also a good defence
against the cold. But NEVER try to match the boots with your knee length skirt,
believe me, this may not make your sexy legs look that long.
Next trick
is to invest in a serious winter coat to keep as much heat in as possible when
out and about. Definitely choose a long floor length number here. Adds to the
flamboyance of your look
and keeps not only your body but your ankles warm as well! I would go for a
fitted number when picking out a coat. This means you can make you outerwear
part of your look by adding on a matching belt to cinch in your waist and
complete your night time silhouette.
If you are
a hat person, then by all means this is your time to shine. Hats can add a fun
and functional element to your look and can complete an outfit and up your
style stakes while still keeping you warm. Berets are a great choice for the
Christmas party season, as they seem to remain timeless and elegant and are
super snug.
Finally
don’t forget some gloves….black leather…always a good choice. So gorgeous and a
really high end, classy, finishing touch to any look. You could go for a
vibrant colour either like a dramatic bright neon pink or a Christmassy red.
Just don’t pick a woollen pair for night time…stick with the more expensive
looking style of glove. Remember, you need to have your look in equal parts
night owl and snug as a bug!
So nice and interesting post!
