Holiday season sparkle!

The festive season has arrived and parties are in full swing – so is sparkle!

No one can have missed that glitter and sparkle is everywhere this holiday season – not just on Christmas trees. The key to this look is not to wear sparkle head to toe, as this can be overwhelming. Instead, select a piece of clothing – say a top or trousers – and let this one item create your sparkly look. If you are more conservative but still want to appear on trend, why not go for a sparkly bag or shoes? Even a sparkly headpiece can create the wow factor.

A very bad investment for your wardrobe

Fashion occasionally attempts to sell us a ‘must have’, and this season it is pyjamas – for going out! If ever there was a bad investment for your wardrobe, this is surely it. This is not one of those items like the bomber jacket that will be here for a few seasons – this is one that will be here today, and gone tomorrow. It has been spotted on many celebrities on the red carpet, often costing ridiculous prices. Some of our TV hosts have tried (and failed) to wear just the pyjama top and were, unsurprisingly, ridiculed. No matter how comfortable they are, pyjamas should remain inside the home. Not a good look for any party – unless, of course, it’s a pyjama party!

Christmas jumpers have become ‘must have’ items

The Christmas jumper used to be the family joke for the, usually, unlucky recipient. Nowadays it has become a ‘must have’ and the selection on offer is truly amazing – something for every member of the family, as well as in every price range. Good memories are made from silly jumpers and now they have gone mainstream, why not indulge in some fun by choosing jumpers with a motif you know the wearer will enjoy.

This is a look that is comfortable and can be dressed up or down – great for when we have over-indulged but would prefer nobody knew! A good jumper can hide a multitude of sins – after all, we can go back to watching our diet in the New Year.

Fun fashion options for men

For the men, who would have thought there are some wonderful velvet jackets for those who dare to wear them? The cut is very different from the old smoking jacket image, and can look amazing with well cut plain trousers or even jeans. If he wants to go all out, why not pair with some great velvet loafers? And if you really want to splash the cash, consider having a pair of customised velvet loafers made sporting their initials, club logo or other personal mark – the choice is endless and it’s about time men had some more fun fashion options.

Velvet type leather slippers are everywhere and can jazz up any trouser outfit for us girls, plus provide some comfort for feet that have been dancing the night away in killer heels. I often give what I call ‘the gift of comfort’ – a pair of ballerina type flats that fold into a little purse. You can bring them on a night out and you know your feet will thank you when you kick off your heels to walk home. This really is a gift that keeps on giving and you will be remembered every time they are slipped on.

Whatever you wear to celebrate this special time of year, enjoy it – fashion should be fun. Happy Holidays!
