4 Easy Party Outfit Formulas you can use to shop your wardrobe

Dress up, show up and be confident this party season

Your diary is probably looking a little busier this year with some festive events planned. It is always tempting to splurge on a new outfit that gets worn once and then discarded to the back of the wardrobe. Here are 4 easy party outfit ideas that you can use as a basis to shop your wardrobe.

Outfit 1 –

Wide legged trousers + statement top + heels + clutch

Wide legged trousers have been around a while and continue to be a key shape so you may have invested in some. If not, this formula will work with any smart trousers in your wardrobe just add a jazzy top, heels, clutch and some statement earrings.

Outfit 2 –

Pleather/leather skirt + camisole + velvet blazer + heels

If you don’t own a pleather/leather skirt this will work with a slip skirt or a denim or pencil skirt. A normal blazer will also work in place of a velvet one just add a camisole and heels and some sparkly accessories.

Outfit 3 –

Jeans + sequin top + heels/fancy flats

You can never go wrong with a fancy top and jeans. Don’t forget fancy flats can look just as elegant as heels.

Outfit 4 –

Black dress + bold accessories

Most people own an LBD or a black jumpsuit or a black top and skirt. Just add some bold accessories to be party ready. As well as a bold colour such as red you could also choose animal print, silver or gold accessories. 

If you are keen to buy something new make sure you invest in a key staple  that will last you such as those described above i.e. a velvet blazer, a leather/pleather skirt, a sequin top/statement top. 

Finally, if you want a budget friendly way to dress up for party season try a red lipstick. The Rouge Cherie shade by Lancôme suits most skin tones.
