If a private party looks to be where you’ll be popping corks then it’s the perfect opportunity to go all out. It’s not often you get to dress to the nines so why not make the most of it!? It’s also one of the few times during winter that you’ll be able to strip away some layers and flaunt what yo’ mamma gave you. Embrace the theatrics of Roberto Cavalli, showcase some up-to-the-minute bows and ruffles in Moschino, or sparkle in lavish embellishments and thigh-high slits à la Giambattista Valli… anything that makes sure everyone at the party knows you’re the best-dressed in attendance.
If fireworks and sub-zero temperatures are on the cards then you’re going to need a damn good-looking overcoat to keep you as toasty as you are stylish. A good fur screams timeless elegance, and there’s plenty of faux options out there which look just as good – think vintage Gaultier or Lanvin, or check out British faux-fur connoisseurs, Shrimps, for some quirkier, colour-popping options.
If you’re entertaining at home you may also have to entertain the idea of spending the first day of the year cleaning – but on the plus side you can essentially wear whatever the hell you want. This is the perfect opportunity to put comfort first, and after a few glasses of bubbly we reckon you’ll appreciate it. Of course, as the host you still want to look chic, so a tailored wide-leg trouser or culottes and shirt combo is failsafe. 2016 was all about ease, oversizing and wearability so you’re in luck here. Why not opt for the sleek, sharp and dinner table-friendly designs of Issey Miyake or go for the look Im sporting below.
