Take a look at our favourite vintage inspired party outfits that create show-stopping style for the party season.
Brave the Wiggle
The 1950s wiggle dress. I know what you are thinking, a very tight dress leaving little to the imagination. Well in some cases you would be right but choosing the right style could create the perfectly shaped silhouette you’ve been dreaming of. The wiggle dress or more modernly known as the ‘bodycon’ has become increasingly popular over the past few years with celebrities showing off their toned bodies at envy of us all. Now although many ladies will think they cannot pull of this body confident dress, there is a style for every shape.
By the very nature of the dress, it is aimed at ladies who are confident about their curves but it can also help ladies that would like to sculpt their shape by using clever colour combinations. Wiggle dresses lend themselves particularly to ladies who have hourglass figures but with the right panelling, a variety of shapes can achieve a great look.
Accessorising your wiggle dress is the key to creating a statement and eye-catching outfit. Heels are a fabulous choice of footwear for this style of dress as they elongate your legs and add height to your fabulous shape. Belts also add an element of interest if you have a block colour dress or want to give extra definition to your waist. The wiggle dress is a lovely addition to your wardrobe and with the right styling any lady can carry off this statement dress. Be bold and brave this fabulous 50s style!
Shine Bright like a Diamond
Just like the song, you should feel that you can stand out from the crowd in this season’s trend, Metallics. Shine, sparkles, sequin laden, anything that makes heads turn is a key element to this style.
80s and 90s inspired metallics are a big trend this Christmas. As you get into the festive spirit, it’s the perfect time to add a bit of glamour to your wardrobe in time for the Christmas party. The look can also be incorporated via subtle hints too with lots of vintage inspired accessories to compliment any outfit. Metallic pieces can be worn for a full on glitz effect or with key elements matched with more subtle tones for everyday wear. If you want to go for the casual look picking a metallic statement accessory will add a touch of sparkle without going overboard.
This trend gives great texture to an outfit and accentuates your figure perfectly and not to mention instantly makes you feel extra special. You may think that metallic is not for you but I dare you to give it a go and be amazed at the stylish outfits you can create this autumn/winter 2016.

Classic Monochrome
A simple and versatile evening wear colour choice is monochrome. Seen on the latest London Fashion Week AW16 catwalks, this trend is never going to go away. Black and white is simply one of the cleanest and freshest looks around and anything goes with this sophisticated yet funky style.
Every season sees different ways to interpret such a straightforward look but this trend still gives you the scope to create key on trend party outfits time and time again. Mixing it up with quirky prints and adding splashes of bold vibrant colours works wonders for a statement look.
Crazy prints, bold patterns or simple clean lines create an impressive yet versatile formula for a quick win in the style stakes. Everyone has something black and something white in their wardrobe, even if it may be just a skirt and shirt combo. Add a touch of interest with beautiful colourful jewels to create a subtle on trend mix.
For a glamorous party look, try simple 60’s styling with beautiful shift dresses and gorgeous heels, which balance your figure perfectly with black and white contrast contour panels. Accessories work well alongside monochrome styles as the choice is endless, choose modest, classic pieces for a chic look or go bold with vivacious tones to create the impeccable contrast style.
