FOR BLACK-TIE DRESS CODES
For special soirées or festive galas, Marchesa Notte’s divine tulle dress is a showstopping choice for nailing modern, evening dress codes. Meanwhile classic, strappy dresses in timeless silhouettes by Hervé Léger or Retrofête are styles you’ll turn to for years to come. Elevate your look further with dazzling details, such as Rosantica’s cascading crystal earrings or embellished sandals by Stuart Weitzman. Lastly, a perennially chic bag is the ultimate finishing touch – consider Sara Battaglia’s‘ Lady Me’ box clutch in classic satin, filled with just the essentials.Â
FOR FESTIVITIES WITH FRIENDS
Nights out with friends call for memorable designs you’ll cherish for years – and it doesn’t get more striking than wearing head-to-toe color. Choose a bold blazer such as Jacquemus’ ‘Fresa’ style in bubblegum pink and power up the look with coordinating pink pants by Stand Studio. Finish off with the perfect party pumps by Sergio Rossi, and Vanina’s beaded shoulder bag, crafted from upcycled materials.Â
FOR NEW YEAR’S EVE CELEBRATIONS
Kick off 2024 in style by going all out in sequins, metallics, and more glittering finishes. No matter what your evening plans entail, nothing says ‘let’s celebrate’ quite like Retrofête’s beautifully adorned dresses. The brand’s signature ‘Flora’ metallic wrap dress and Alice + Olivia’s tinsel jacket make a flawless pairing for hitting the dancefloor. To complete the look, choose scintillating accessories – a quartz and siamite® ring by considered brand Cornelia Webb and elegant crystal-embellished suede mules by Veronica Beard will perfectly offset your outfit.Â
