I’ve curated the ultimate holiday style guide to help you nail your party looks. Learn what to wear for every occasion on your party calendar – from work parties to cocktails, and Christmas Eve to a sunshine getaway for the holiday season.
Holiday Style Guide: Concerts & Cocktails
An ultra-sleek LBD is perfect for a cocktail party or Christmas concert. The Taller Marmo black fringe dress has a clean flattering silhouette that is playful yet appropriate for a cocktail. For a holiday concert, opera or ballet, opt for a classic design such as Rebeca Vallance embellished pencil skirt dress. If you are planning a disco night after your work dinner, pick something more playful such as Katie embellished mini dress accessorized with an extreme Aquazurra platform in dazzling emerald green.
One of my go-to hacks for styling a little black dress is to elevate the look with statement accessories. From velvet red heels to emerald drop earrings, colours will bring an unexpected accent to your party look.

Holiday Style Guide: Work Party
Want to quickly transform your look from desk to the dancefloor? Opt for separates and statement jewellery. Paco Rabanne’s silk top & chain necklace will dress up your work skirt in a second. Spice up the outfit with ALAIA’s heart leather bag & Manolo Blahnik mesh heels.
Holiday Style Guide: Christmas Dinner
Choosing bright colours that flatter your complexion will guarantee a showstopping entrance at any party. Victoria Beckham’s simplistic asymmetric orange dress, part of her VB Body collection, is perfect for ladies with warm skin tones. If you are not sure what colours or cuts suit you best, remember to book an online consultation with one of our stylists. To optimize the cost per wear, choose her green separates that sculpt the body and flatter the silhouette. Les revealing fitted dresses are best suited for work parties and daytime events.
The dopamine dressing trend will lift your mood and party spirit.

Holiday Style Guide: Dinner & Dance
When it comes to parties that involve a dancefloor, high-shine glamour is only appropriate. Embrace the sparkly in the form of glittered shoes and statement separates and embellished blazers.
Think of your outerwear as an extension of your look. A tailored coat or boxy blazer will elegantly finish off your party attire.

Holiday Style Guide: Sunshine Getaway
If you are spending the holiday season in the sunshine, plan your looks as a resort capsule. Zimmermann’s romantic and delectably feminine blouses can be mixed & matched with tailored shorts for both dressy and casual events. If you are after a show-stopping New Year’s eve outfit, think nothing less than embroidery, corset details and tulle skirts in the form of Zimmermann’s ‘High Tide’ dress. Don’t forget to pack versatile sparkly mules & a blush bag to go with all your looks.
