Party season is all about that effortless razzle-dazzle. The sound of heavy, shimmering sequins. The gentle tickle of a feather trim.
The balancing act between a sleek clutch bag and a glass of fizz. You can hear the Eighties disco tunes already. It's a time to go all out on the fashion front.
Sparkle is non-negotiable, naturally, but one can also opt for a classic LBD or tuxedo and still command attention at any after-hours shindig. Velvet is your flirty, touchable friend, and metallics? They’re the icing on this sartorial cake. As for shoewear , the more extra, the better.
Think Y2K butterfly adornments, spiralling straps that lengthen the leg and 90s kitten heels, primed for dancing the night away. To rehash the words of Marilyn Monroe with a smidgen of creative license, give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer party season. Partywear browsing is undoubtedly the most fun area of shopping.
Thankfully, several brands have built their DNA upon partywear, making the search for your dream show-stopping outfits that much easier. Rabanne and Versace head up the party attire on the luxury end of the scale, while 16Arlington, The Attico and Area have got cool-girl charisma covered. Blumarine serves up Noughties nostalgia by the butterfly-clad bucketload, Annie’s Ibiza is a treasure trove of sartorial gems and Fanci Club has something for all who favour kittenish design to sequinned opulence.
