What should I wear to my office Christmas party?

This recurring question has a simple and consistent answer: Wear something you feel comfortable in. It might seem obvious but unless you wear something you feel beautiful and like yourself in, nothing will feel right. When it comes to the rule book, though, keep an eye out for some design features that should meet a professional dress code: long sleeves, muted colours and a luxurious fabric.

What should I wear on New Years Eve?

Take the opportunity to wear something that will truly set the mood for the upcoming year ahead. Just like planning for the night itself, your outfit is best not overthought. Want to embrace colour and boost your confidence in the new year? Opt for a bold sequinned or embroidered dress. Keen to have a career focus over the next 12 months? Start as you mean to go on with a power suit and patent leather heels. Not a dress or suit kind of person? Try a jumpsuit, or a maxi skirt with luxe boots and a glittering top.
