How to dress up for the New Year: Styling Tips
There are two weeks left until New Year so, it's time to think about what you will meet this holiday. To determine which things are worth paying attention to, we asked the stylists about the trends of the autumn-winter season, among which there are options for both grandiose parties and for a family dinner.
Holiday outfit can be a great gift to yourself, and if you are not ready to invest in it - you just have to dig in the closet. Surely it will be clothes or accessories, which you managed to forget. What brands can be sources of inspiration in drawing up a New Year's image, what to focus on, where to look for budget options, and where expensive ones are, stylists tell.
When choosing a dress in this, as in any other year, you should consider comfort. If you are going to a party with the intention to break away all night, do not need to wear uncomfortable studs or too narrow skirt. Parties are created to relax, but not to constantly fix the dress or dream of throwing off my embarrassed shoes.
One of the main trends today is the 80s: dresses with asymmetrical sleeves, over-volume, flounces, shiny skin - all this is perfect for celebrating the New Year. For inspiration, you can see the autumn-winter collections of Saint Laurent or Isabel Marant. Velvet clothes, such as a pantsuit, will help create a festive look. Accessories from this material are also relevant. Traditionally, a lot of things with sequins, which look spectacular, but also stand decently, if you buy quality ones.
I believe that by the New Year definitely worth buying outfit. A holiday is always an atmosphere, and clothing is an integral part of it. Spending big money on him is not at all necessary, it is unlikely that you will put on the same dress again - evening clothes often hang out in the closet after one exit for years. If there is no time to buy an outfit, it can always help out a combination dress that many have. Complement it with evening accessories or, for example, a jacket with sequins - and the image is ready.
I would pay attention to things from the mass market. By the New Year, so many glittering dresses, elegant tops and all kinds of things from Lurex appear in the shops, that you can go blind. Plus, the mass market in budget, however, there is always a risk to see these things on every second. Beautiful velvet dresses can be found in I AM Studio, and in 12storeez there is a whole New Year collection.
In the New Year, there must be accessories: it is not a pity to spend money on them and you can definitely wear them more than once. Classic pumps, evening clutch or catchy earrings. If we talk about my outfit, then, since on New Year's Eve I will be at the ocean, I will most likely choose a swimsuit. If I were in Moscow, then the choice would fall on an asymmetrical dress with one sleeve (for example, made of leather), long earrings and patent leather shoes.
The trends of this winter perfectly match the festive mood. I like gothic looks: black lipstick, pearls, dark draperies, as if from the next film by Tim Burton. Perfectly fit such fashionable things as jack boots or corsets. Ruffles, velvet, rich interior fabrics, similar to the upholstery of palace furniture, flowers, leopard and fuchsia that do not go out of fashion - all this will suit any mood and theme of the party.
The New Year is the night when you can run dry and dust yourself with sequins. On the other hand, a low-key image may compare favorably against the background of a holiday tree (take, for example, the recent appearance of Stella Tennant at the Fashion Awards). When the question arises, whether to buy a special outfit for the New Year, I reason this way: if it gives a great mood, then why not treat yourself? I would pay attention to the Tigran Avetysyan brand - she had the first women's collection for the red carpet, and she is perfect. And at Otocyon you can choose concise delicate dresses. It seems to me that this New Year's mandatory piece of clothing is cool pajamas, in which you run out in the morning to look for gifts under the Christmas tree.
For my outfit, I have several options: I will choose between a luxurious Asian-style costume (painted silk and brocade look festive), a princess outfit and a men's deuce as opposed to feminine models. You will take another scarlet dress combination, which, because of the color and material, will definitely not be ignored.
I always promote the principle of relevance: there is no universal outfit for a holiday or for the whole year. On the islands, in the mountains, in the city, of course, different dress codes.
I’m sure everyone will sparkle with sequins at the dance. Shops are inundated with worthy shiny things, and in order not to get lost at the New Year's party in the midst of flickering and blinking, I would choose another way. It is not interesting to look at dresses with sequins and chokers, but choker-bandanas in sequins are not copied by the mass market yet. The shiny triangle is the perfect accessory that will work with a combination dress, a white shirt, a sweater, and even a satin blazer.
As a dress I like a red dress from velvet Ellery from the Resort '17 collection. I respect this brand for working with form, trends and color. Another beautiful party dress, which can be worn all spring, was made of pink velvet by Monse designers. This brand has progressed incredibly quickly over the year since the first collection was shown. A new ironic interpretation of femininity with exaggerated or deconstructed elements now seems to me the most correct intonation.
I haven’t decided yet where I’ll have fun, but if I don’t need to dress up strongly, I’ll choose things for a relaxed look from the ADER error collection. Asymmetrical cut, unisex and oversized look the best option for an underground house party.
As for accessories, I am attracted to the finest, but therefore even more expressive silver jewelry Pêche Péché. Rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings that do not require a puncture in the nose and lip with inscriptions in italics benefit from the thickness of the metal. Against the background of universal insanity on brands that trade in brocade, embroidery and rhinestones, as well as accessories of fake sizes, this scale of products seems to me the most pleasant.
Each current trend is perfect for the New Year, be it bright colors (green, yellow, fuchsia) or unchanged velvet. Take at least the style of Hollywood: sequins, metallized fabrics and placers of crystals that adorn evening dresses. "Animal" prints, a combination of red and black, brocade, frills - whatever! On this day, you can bet on any of these decisions.
In my opinion, to meet this holiday in something new is beautiful. If you are thinking of investing, it is better to present yourself for the New Year. And buy an outfit so that it was convenient to jump, and dance, and have fun both at home and on the street, playing snowballs and firing fireworks. When choosing an image, you should not chase after the names, try to think of something your own: ask a friend to make a dream dress for you, find it in second-hand and experiment with it or walk around Moscow outlets. So you will not meet at the party anyone whose outfit would be similar to yours.
This year (as in the past and in the future) we should not forget that it is still winter outside and you should not neglect outerwear. In general, the feeling of celebration on this day can be created more likely not with things, but with accessories: a veil, large earrings, evening gloves, and, of course, the “same” pair of shoes.
The main stylistic rule of the New Year is very simple - dress up. Season trends contribute to this. Glitter, sequins, brocade, velvet - that's what all the shops are full of now. These trends and should pay attention. The main thing - do not overdo it: the harder the fabric, the easier the cut.
You can dress in red from head to toe, as astrologers advise. The fashionable today era of the 80s can become an inspiration for a New Year's dress: you should not recreate the series “Dynasty”, but Eddie Sliman’s latest collection for Saint Laurent is possible. If the dress in sequins or silver fabric for you, even on New Year's Eve taboo, add glitter at least to the makeup.
Lurex, sequins, silk, velvet, metallic materials - everything is possible on New Year's Eve. When choosing a dress for the New Year, I would advise you to pay attention to things with Lurex, for example, to dresses-shirts and Jacquemus tops, as if sewn from several things at once. Any Ashish thing will be a surefire option, be it a mini-dress with an ironic inscription, trousers strewn with mother-of-pearl sequins, or hoodie.
Translucent things also work great. For example, look at Y / Project. Here and baroque luxury, and a bit of Gothic, and the most fashionable cut. You can truly unburden yourself in shirts and dresses with multi-layered ruffles and ruffles that look more like dolls. Volumetric dress with frill is better to balance the collected hairstyle and concise shoes.
Do not ignore the dresses of noble knitwear of different colors, like those of Sibling, Courrèges and the same Jacquemus, this is not only beautiful, but also comfortable. Clothes in the linen style does not lose popularity over the past few seasons. A dress-dress or a pajama suit made of silk in combination with a fur scarf and eye-catching ornaments may seem like a beaten-up trick, but on New Year's Eve they will be very appropriate.
Shoes should pay attention to the options without studs: it can be a steady heel, like Amélie Pichard and Dorateymur, boots with a rough sole or sneakers, which you can not part with on New Year's Eve. This solemn option can be Fenty Puma by Rihanna creeper made of velvet, the most fashionable material of the season. Will fit literally everything.
For the free-spirited there is a second version of the New Year's attire - a cozy tracksuit. Luxurious outdoor clothing has become part of the wardrobe of every mod. I advise you to choose soft sports trousers and a sweatshirt for Off-White, A-Cold-Wall * or the same J.W.Anderson (yes, in the new season you can also wear sweatshirts). They can safely go to the best parties in the city or stay at home. The necessary level of shine can be achieved with glitter in make-up.
According to tradition, I myself always celebrate the New Year in something new - not necessarily expensive or luxurious. I plan to celebrate the coming year 2017 in the circle of relatives and friends in the new favorite Hoodie of the British brand A-Cold-Wall * in combination with the Ambush Choker.
