Dressing for events past 6 o'clock has never been more important than during the festive season. Christmas holidays bring a plethora of dinners, dances, parties and other social gatherings. The not to distant cry of "I have nothing to wear" has been uttered from the mouth of even the most travelled fashionista. When it comes to post 6pm dining the relaxed comfort of a jumper and some jeans does not cut it among the bright lights of the season.
To skirt being under dressed there are few guidelines to be observed, above the waist is where all the action takes place. Embellished necklines, jewelled tops, sequinned skirts, statement necklaces, and jewel toned nails.
"Dresses that will spend three -quarters of their evening submerges beneath the tables should have a pretty neckline (measured by elegance, not décolletage or be elegantly bestowed with a cluster of precious jewels. Nothing rivals the flattery of a ravishing cocktail blouse , adding instant dress- up to black trousers or white denim.
If looking towards full glamour a red lip is always in style." Emma Elwick-Bates for Vogue January 2013.
