There is no denying it now, the winter Christmas crazy party season is just around the
corner…diaries will soon be booked up with nights out, office get togethers, dinners,
drinks…you name it…all needing a fabulous outfit to wow your peers with. BUT…that age
old problem will rear its ugly head when it comes to
flimsy party dresses…how do you keep
warm!!
Now, while there are some of us who live and die by the winter rule of cab to club, meaning
that they don’t enter the outside world at all on a night out. Instead opting to jump from a
taxi into a venue with the minimum amount of time outside. The majority of us however are
forced to step outside to get from a to b and there are a few simple tricks that you can
follow to look AMAZING in your skimpy dress but also keep yourself warm while in transit.
First up…tights…now I know, these are not the most attractive accessories to have in your
closet but in winter they are a must have. Depending on what dress you choose to wear, I
would highly recommend having the appropriate coloured tights to match. That’s why I
think black is a great choice for winter nights out, as you can pair with plain or patterned
black tights that not only look good but keep your legs cosy and warm. Skin coloured tights
don’t really look that great and are also by nature quite thin so won’t keep you as warm as
their black counterparts.
Anyway, black is always a more dramatic and sexy vibe for wild nights out!
Or, if you're a brave
sexy mini dress lover and it's hard for you to give it up even in the cold
winter, a pair of knee high boot is also a good defence against the cold. But NEVER try to
match the boots with your knee length skirt, believe me, this may not make your sexy legs
look that long.
Next trick is to invest in a serious winter
coat to keep as much heat in as possible when out
and about. Definitely choose a long floor length number here. Adds to the flamboyance of
your look and keeps not only your body but your ankles warm as well! I would go for a fitted
number when picking out a coat. This means you can make you outerwear part of your look
by adding on a matching belt to cinch in your waist and complete your night time silhouette.
If you are a hat person, then by all means this is your time to shine. Hats can add a fun and
functional element to your look and can complete an outfit and up your style stakes while
still keeping you warm. Berets are a great choice for the Christmas party season, as they
seem to remain timeless and elegant and are super snug.
Finally don’t forget some gloves….black leather…always a good choice. So gorgeous and a
really high end, classy, finishing touch to any look. You could go for a vibrant colour either
like a dramatic bright neon pink or a Christmassy red. Just don’t pick a woollen pair for night
time…stick with the more expensive looking style of glove. Remember, you need to have
your look in equal parts night owl and snug as a bug!
