We’ve arrived at the season for celebration, and it’s the best possible time to go big with your outfits: Gold, silver, sparkles, and dazzling color are all welcome antidotes to the gray days, long nights and chilly weather. But styling around attention-grabbing party essentials can sometimes be a tricky endeavor, and we’re here to help. We’ve collected and answered your most pressing questions so you can put your best foot forward for all of Winter’s festivities.
Q: What shoes do I pair with a sequined skirt?
A: Nothing says the holidays like sequins—and don’t be afraid to double down on the glitz and glamour by pairing them with metallics. An opulent purple skirt, for example, is perfectly complimented by the Luna, a burnished, soft gold slingback that evokes old-world Hollywood. Best of all, the block heel is the ultimate in comfort, so you can maximize your party-mingling time to the fullest effect.
A: Head-to-toe tonal dressing is a sophisticated way to play with color, and the hue of the season is vibrant cherry red. To add interest, you can experiment with texture and form within the same color family; the high gloss patent leather and looped leather detail of our Aurora silhouette nicely contrasts with the ease and softness of a relaxed pantsuit set.
Q: How do I incorporate a shoe with sparkle into my outfit?
A: With joie de vivre! We’re firm believers in the value of a little glitter, and particularly love it as an accent on a pale ivory or blush-hued shoe like the Livia or the Sofia. Used strategically, sparkle is the equivalent of a neutral and can enliven pared-down and colorful outfits alike.
Q: What’s the best way to jazz up an LBD?
A: Think of your little black dress as an elegant blank canvas: it can stand on its own merit, but it also gives your accessories their moment to truly stand out. Bright pops of color are highlighted especially beautifully against black. This oversized sequin dress is plenty jazzy all on its own, but the whole look comes to life when you add seductive red kitten heels like the Greta.
