Broadcast: Glitzy Glamourous Holiday Dressing

Samantha Lim — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 17:42:24 +0000

Decadence is synonymous with the holidays (and no, it’s not too early to start thinking about the December holidays!). From trees covered in lights, tinsel, and baubles to dinner spreads so huge you end up eating the remainders as leftover’s until the New Year, this time of year is about going all out– and fashion is no exception. ‘Tis the season to get dressed up and this year designers have not held back; think glitz, glamour, shimmer and shine. Here are the top three lustiest dress trends of the season and how to wear them. For more styling tips and a simply vast array of dresses visit House of Fraser dresses online.

Metallic bodycon dresses

Metallics are absolutely everywhere this season. From shoes to scarves and everything in between fashion has come over very futuristic. Shimmering silvers and golds, sequins and embellishment take your dress from drab to fab. Ramp it up even further with a bodycon dress; this will definitely get you noticed.

How to wear?

Styling details to keep you on point can include one-shoulder straps, studding and embellishment as well as bust cups and contrasting metallic belts. Keep the metallic trend going in your shoes and jewellery. Give the look a bit of an eighties vibe with wrist cuffs, black and gold envelope style clutch bags and chandelier earrings.

Lacy LBDs

The little black dress never fails to impress, but this season you need to spruce it up a little if you want to compete with all those shimmering metallic-clad ladies. The only way to do that this season is with lace, and plenty of it. Whether bodycon, shift, a-line or skater, lace adds a sultry, sexy touch to an otherwise average black dress.

How to wear?

Lace on the arms, around the neck or layered over the dress are the most fashionable ways to work lace into your outfit, but don’t be afraid to break the mould with lace hemlines and cut-out detailing. Work the grunge trend and go for black from head to toe with colour-matching accessories.

Bright, bold, asymmetric dresses

The colour block trend from the summer is reinvented with richer, autumnal hues such as burgundy, plum, mustard and emerald green.

How to wear?

A favourite style for these eye-catching dresses is asymmetric hemlines accompanied by one-shoulder detailing. Corsages, Grecian-style drapes and pleats all add glamour and style and give a nod to the disco fashions of the 1970s. Accessorise in contrasting colours and keep jewellery, shoes and jackets larger than life.

Flip Flops - an ugly word for anyone who takes public transportation. When you wear all-around open shoes in New York City, you run the risk of getting garbage, creatures, gum, dirt, spit and other various sticky substances adhered to your toes. Gross! Most of the time, we keep these sandals reserved for grabbing a bagel in our respective neighborhoods and strolling the boardwalk on a sunny beach. But we know how hot and lazy summer can be, and there are some open sandals so cute that we’ll make an exception to the rule. Here are 10 fashionable flip flops that won’t get you arrested by the street feet police.
