Christmas Fashion Tips from an Expert
CLEMMIE Fieldsend, Fashion Editor at Fabulous, has shared her top tips for looking fabulous this Christmas.
AVOID: Christmas jumpers
No longer a novelty gag, they’re now gone back to being naff and have no place at a festive party.
By all means, go all in for Christmas Jumper Day for Save The Children, but never wear it before or after that day.
WEAR: Burgundy
You can’t escape burgundy at this time of year and it’s a luxury, deep and rich colour that is a welcome break from Santa-red at Christmas.
Opt for silky textures or velvet for extra style points.
AVOID: PJs
The trend of feather trimmed co-ords has had its day and is so dated.
Don’t pull out your hair plucked pair this year, and don’t get a new set, instead still go for the satin two-piece but just steer clear of the plumes.
WEAR: Sequin Dress
Try to switch up sequins slightly by wearing them with a different texture or colour, eg a sequin skirt with a sleek knit.
But when you’re really stuck on what to wear reach for the sequins, it is Christmas after all.
AVOID: Sequin blazer
Nothing worse than showing up to a festive do looking like the hired entertainment.
Leave the sequin blazer to magicians and Strictly judges, instead always reach for a classic tux style or velvet.
WEAR: Bling trousers
Last party season embellished jeans with diamante bling had a moment, and this year they’re going to be as much of a hit.
If you don’t want gemstones pinging off wherever you go then try metallic, PU trousers.
Another added: “Absolutely stunning.”
A third commented: “I’ll be on the hunt for this tomorrow morning, it’s stunning.”
Whilst someone else wrote: “I need it so bad.”
At the same time, another fashion fan penned: “I would never have thought of putting that jacket with jeans but wow it looks fantastic, thanks for that.”
Oriona’s yes or no to Autumn 2024 trends
FASHION pro Oriona Robb has shared her thoughts on this season’s trends….
Burgundy
We’ve seen burgundy hues take over the high-street and according to Oriona: “Burgundy is for everyone.
“Every shop on the high street has got something in burgundy. It pairs really nicely with different colours, it is super easy to wear,” she says.
Leopard print
Similarly with leopard print, Oriona is a big fan: “Leopard print is very in this season and there are lots of prints at Marks & Spencer and Primark.
“But you just have to know what to pair it with and a personality to carry this trend through.”
“I think leopard print is staying.”
Slingback heels
When it comes to slingbacks, Oriona says they’re a great investment.
“They look really good with a pair of jeans and elevate an outfit, especially if they are a little bit pointed.
“They are everywhere at the moment – definitely an item that should be in your shopping bag.”
Waistcoats
Oriona is also a huge fan of waistcoats which she says are here to stay.
“I love waistcoats, especially leather ones.
“They’ve been back for two years now, and I think they are staying, they are personally on my list. I think they are definitely one to look into if you don’t own one already.”
Peplums
But when it comes to peplums, which have recently been spotted in H&M, Oriona explains: “They have that feeling of being something we wore ten years ago, but they are definitely having a moment of come back.
“I even spotted peplum belts with an extra frill at the back but the look is too feminine for me. It’s quite girly and has a romantic feel about it.”
Ballet flats
Similarly with ballet flats, Oriona adds: “They’re classic. I know they’re gonna have a comeback, but at the moment there are more Mary Janes than ballets, or I would go for ballets that have got a slightly thicker, or maybe pointier kind of finish to it.
“If ballet flats are not done correctly, it can look quite dated.”
Bright coloured trainers
If you aren’t sure which trainers to nab this season, according to Oriona, it’s all about the colourful, vintage look with the Adidas Sambas.
She says: “Vintage look trainers are coming back, and that would be my addition in very bright colours.
“So from blue, red, yellow, just to spice up jeans and knitwear.”
