Relaxed party dressing .
It’s about being chic, slightly dressed up but looking effortless. Feeling relaxed.
You don’t want to look too overdressed or too try hard !
This is not black tie but it’s not beach dressing either.
It might be drinks, BBQ, dinner or a New Year’s party .
The secret :
Table top dressing.
Which is how you dress from the waist up.
You want the attention and focus on top of the body (everything else is hidden under the table!)
Which is why I nabbed this fabulous Marant Etoile silver top from @netaporter (It’s on sale and I could not resist. )
Yes, it’s very dramatic with those huge shoulders (!) and the glamorous shimmery fabric BUT the shape is actually really just a relaxed simple tee shirt.
Because when you have rich luxe fabrics you don’t need frills, flounces or anything too tricky in the design. Keep it simple so there is only one element that is getting all the attention.
The trick with any sparkly statement top?
Dress it down with casual low key pants !
I’m talking jeans, cotton chinos or slouchy pants.
Think contrasts. It’s the DNA of effortless chic: tough with pretty, casual and dressy, with soft and hard. It’s the modern chic way to dress don’t you think?
So I decided to style this fabulous silver top @netaporter with white grey jeans. Then with grey jeans . I couldn’t decide!
Which one do you guys like ? Let me know !
Remember go for a baggy style slouchy jean then add black classic heels & a YSL clutch. Easy !
The good news : there are so many great party pieces right now @netaporter ( lots on sale!) so I have done all the hard work for you pulled together all my favorites from luxe to less.
