What colours are trending for Christmas and New Year party dresses?

The 2024 holiday season brings a mix of classic and imaginative colour combinations. Traditional Christmas tones such as rich reds, emerald greens and icy whites continue to dominate, but we are also seeing a rise in metallics like gold, silver and rose gold, which have a special way of capturing the festive glow of lights and decorations.


Choosing the right length and cut for your party dress this Christmas and New Year

Selecting the correct length and cut for your party dress depends on the formality of the event and your comfort. Short party dresses, like Alise and Anniken, which feature hanging beaded details and multi-coloured sequins, are perfect for semi-formal events and late-night celebrations where dancing and mingling are essential. These dresses make for great conversation starters with their intricate designs, while still offering ease of movement throughout the night.

For more refined and formal occasions, dresses with longer hemlines or more structured silhouettes may be appropriate. However, short dresses with luxurious fabrics and detailed craftsmanship, such as the Gina dress, still hold their own even at black tie events. Comfort is key, as many people prefer a more breathable and relaxed fit, even in formal settings.


How to adapt party dresses to different types of events?

Choosing the right dress starts by considering the formality of the event. 

For informal gatherings or festive dinners, a quirky, fun dress such as Anniken or Alise can be the go-to choice. Since each of these dresses can be customized to your liking, you can modify the details to ensure that your outfit suits the specific atmosphere, whether you want something playful or more understated.

For formal events like Christmas galas or New Year’s Eve extravaganzas, dresses like Gina and Lisbeth allow you to embrace a more polished and luxurious look. Their intricate beadwork, crystal embellishments, and structured silhouettes make them perfect for sophisticated celebrations.

What are the best accessories to complete your party outfit for Christmas and New Year?

Accessories can often take your outfit to the next level. When choosing accessories for a bold dress like Gina, balance is essential. Lean toward more minimalistic jewellery and neutral-toned shoes. 

Pair the Lisbeth dress with simple, elegant earrings or a sleek clutch to ensure that the unique elements of the dress, such as the feather-lined hem, remain at the forefront of your look.

For a chic and edgy contrast, consider pairing a jumpsuit like Suta with statement earrings, an eye-catching clutch, or metallic heels to accentuate its glamorous details.
