Festive dressing: Massimo Dutti

Today is Massimo Dutti’s turn. Classic, quality clothes and accessories. I am afraid a lot of black again, although this time, injected with a little red, pink and plum.

This gorgeous suit can be worn for the evening with high heels, a strappy camisole and an extravagant necklace. You can also wear it for the day with a t-shirt to make it trendy, with a shirt to make it elegant and classic and with a sweater to make it chic. You can also use the jacket and trousers separately.

Love this jumpsuit as well:

This dress is cute, at least it’s a colour other than black!

The next outfit is a mix of classic and unusual. Blouse, trousers and shoes  are simple and elegant, but, I would wear the necklace on the back and add this sheepskin sleeveless coat to make interesting…

If you prefer a little colour the above solution is for you.

A few more pairs of trousers to play with:

Festive dressing: &Other Stories

Second appointment with festive dressing. This time I have selected interesting pieces from & Other Stories, COS trendier cousin. I really had a lot of trouble choosing though, I loved just about everything! I think the match black and off white is fabulous and the jewellery too. I also love the leather trousers and skirts as an alternative to fabric ones. You will see…

 Let’s start with a “no-brainer” solution, although you do need to think about shoes… Speaking of which, I reckon, as evening wear goes, skirts and loose trousers need heels whilst skinny trousers are nice with flats as well.

If you prefer something more classic, here it is, to be worn with a classic shoe with a twist and sizeable earrings ( two for short hair but only one for long!)

I adore this jumpsuit!

What about leather? A pair of skinny trousers with a chic off white top and gorgeous stripy shoes…

or a leather skirt ..

I really think black and off white together are extremely chic

here’s the rest at random:

Actually, here’s a few more:

Festive dressing: COS

Whether you like it or not, it’s almost Christmas, you know, church service? lunch with parents and relatives, etc.etc. Following this family gathering, you may have also a New year’s eve do, hopefully with friends this time!!. What are you going to wear???

I already have posted plenty of clothes and accessories which could be suitable for these occasions. This is a new approach to “the problem” ( I wish all problems were like that!), one which is divided more into styles. I thought I would select the best there is from my favourite sites.

I am starting with COS. Very understated, minimal, almost all black and white.

I love the organza top, you will be able to wear it with jeans too.

This top is great to dress up and to use with a shirt/long sleeve top underneath for every day use.

 

All three will get plenty of use with both elegant clothes and not…

Ok, now some trousers:

Love, love, love them! When Yves Saint Laurent decided women could wear evening suits too, was one of the best moment in fashion ever!

And the trendier version..

But you may want to wear something more classic:

COS PLEATED SILK TROUSERS black

These ones are gorgeous, classic with a subtle twist:

A skirt?

which doesn’t need to be so classic, a leather one might make your outfit look more interesting…

Bye, bye.
