Party season is a highlight in any woman’s calendar. It’s a chance to dress up, make the most of your assets and wardrobe, and dial up the glamour in whatever way works for you, says Vogue magazine’s fashion features editor Laura Weir. Here, she talks us through the key looks
THE GLAMOUR PUSS
“Kate Moss is the ultimate pin-up for this look,” says Laura. “It’s all about vamping it up with a slick of red lipstick and tousled rock’n’roll hair – and there’s no end to the fringing, velvet, rich fabrics and mini-skirt hemlines. Less really is less when it comes to glamour”
Not confident in heels? The mini-skirt hem on
this 1960s shift elongates the silhouette,
flattering all leg shapes. Wear it with
pointed flats for endless pins

THE MODERN WOMAN
“This is all about a tailored, nipped-in silhouette, so a great pair of
trousers is key to the look. Whether you opt for a gold jacquard style,
tux trousers or some coated skinny jeans, your chosen piece should
translate to partywear, but you’ll also be able to team it with basics.
A black blazer is also really important”
A cool alternative to the LBD, this Limited
Edition jumpsuit creates an effortless
evening look. Dress it up with heels or
flats, depending on your mood
MAXIMUM IMPACT
The ultimate way to
make a statement this
season? An oversized
faux-fur coat.
Wear it with leather
leggings for a modern
texture clash

THE SOPHISTICATE
“This is a great look for those who aren’t into a dark palette. If you find winter tones quite sombre and lean more towards the fresh shades of summer, you can buy into chiffons and pale, pretty laces”
Decorate your décolletage
with a standout necklace.
It’s the perfect way to do
elegance with an edge
