How to Shine through the Party Season
However we celebrate Christmas, it's always a pleasure
to dress up for the occasion and bring some colour and
sparkle into the darker days. Colours and sequins are key
this year so make sure you choose your most fabulous colours
and choose the right sequin pieces for you so that you will
dazzle all through the festive season!
Red: this season's hottest colour
Red is perfect at this time of year as it brings energy and
glamour to your winter wardrobe. A red dress makes a bold
statement so if you like to be understated, it’s not for you. It is,
without a doubt, this season’s favourite colour.
Which shade?
There is a shade of red for every colouring. Darker colourings
can wear deep scarlet, a lighter geranium red works well for
blondes, redheads can wear warm tomato red. Choose cool blue
-reds for grey to white hair tones.
Gray & Osbourn have the perfect velvet cocktail dress to
cover all festive occasions. The asymmetric full length dress
at Next is a real showstopper.
Teal: a flattering shade for everyone
Teal can look particularly striking if it’s in the right shade for you
and in a good fabric. Under the teal family you also have the
beautiful Chinese blues and aquas which are flattering on many
complexions. Wear them as dark or as light as your colouring will allow.
Which shade?
Darker colourings need a deeper shade but should choose satin
or add some sparkle to lift it. It is very flattering on redheads, in
any fabric. Find lighter shades if you are fair or grey/white;
keep the fabric light too.

keep the fabric light too.
Teal becomes a real ‘wow’ colour in satin like this Geri Halliwell
full length dress at Next. If all over chiffon is too much for you,
find something with a sheer overlay or sleeve like this tunic
dress at Fashion Union
Purple: opulent and fun
There is something about purple that says luxury. It also projects
confidence and a bit of creativity. Wear it in sumptuous
satin or rich velvet for opulent glamour. This colour also has a shade
for everyone although the deeper tones are a great alternative to
black as they have the same slimming effect.
Which shade?
Deep purple to aubergine for darker colourings, medium shades
for redheads, violet and light periwinkles are best for blondes.
Cool shades from purple to icy violet look fabulous against white/
grey hair.
Add interest with a jacquard texture in satin like the Kaliko dress
opposite. The dramatic Pierce 11 Fionda purple tiered maxi
dress at Debenhams oozes red carpet elegance.
Sequins: a winter must-have
Sequins are like little rays of sunshine in the winter but how much
of them you want to wear will depend on your personal preferences
and what suits you.
All over sequin
If you are going to invest in a sequin dress then you need to be
confident that you look good in it. Choose the right style and an
appropriate length. Smaller sequins are easier to wear and less
rigid on curvy figures than the bigger paillettes. The Republic
Miso dress is high glam but the long sleeves keep it elegant.
Separates and embellishment
You want the sequins to set off your outfit so you might choose a
simple top, a little shrug or find something with embellishment on it.
Do remember that sequins will be the most eye-catching part of
your outfit so be sure to wear them on a flattering part of your body!
The Gray & Osbourn black sequin top is simple but effective.
Which shade?
Consider your skin tone: warmer skin tones are better with gold, bronze
and copper shades. Cool, pinkish skin tones look better in silver, white
or black. Alternatively, find sequins in one of your best colours.
