While deadlines grow increasingly closer remember that the end of term and Christmas parties are in sight! With countless dinners and events to attend at the end of term and during the Christmas holidays, here are some suggestions to help to choose what to wear:
Classic Designs
At this time of the term it is unlikely that your student budget will stretch for a new outfit for every formal so invest in classic designs which can be accessorised to create a different look. Your choice of jewellery is a great way to dress an outfit up or down. Next in particular has a great range for the party season featuring a selection of chic dresses in classic styles.
Colour
Jewel colours such as emerald green or ruby red look fantastic this time of year. It may also be sensible to choose a darker coloured dress for Christmas dinners as red wine can be a hazard for white dresses.
Dress Codes
Though an event says that the dress code is black tie, it doesn’t mean you have to wear a long dress and heels, a shorter dress or a play suit can look just as appropriate.
A Touch of Sparkle
As it is Christmas a touch of sparkle is highly recommended to get into the festive spirit. Whether it be a pair of shoes, a bag or a dress, metallics and sparkly embellishment are always a winning addition to create a party look. Topshop as usual has countless sparkly items to take you through the festive season.
Velvet and Sequins
Dresses made out of velvet or sequins perfectly suits this time of year. As it can be quite a statement, the rest of your outfit can be effortless in regards to makeup and accessories, making a sequinned dress an effortless option. Urban Outfitters often has a large range of velvet dresses perfect for a stand out look.
Accessories
Though at university you become used to partying in trainers, formal dresses often look better and more finished when teamed with a pair of heels. Choose colours such as black, silver or nude as they are versatile and can be worn time and time again. You can also accessorise your formal outfit with a jacket or blazer. Faux fur can also be a great addition to any outfit.
