MIX UP YOUR DRESS UP
Our new favorite jumpsuits...and separates that rise to any occasion.
You love your closetful of dresses. We love your closetful of dresses. But every now and then, we need to mix up our dress-up. That’s where some of our favorite pieces come in: elegant alternatives to the evening gown that adapt beautifully to your individual character. We’ve put together the top 3 looks on our list, to file under: style that’s here to stay.
THE OCCASION JUMPSUIT
Why We Love It:
Because it’s poised, modern and elegant, and it can always go out at night. Whether you go for streamlined and straight, hand-beaded, a dramatic cape silhouette, or flowy and feminine shapes, we love that it’s a look you can make entirely your own.
How to Style It:
The best part of wearing a jumpsuit is you usually don’t have to do anything at all. You can, however, always add a statement necklace (as long as the jumpsuit isn’t intricately embellished at the neckline) a gorge pair of earrings or a simple bracelet. Then it’s all about the shoes. We love to pair our jumpsuits with strappy sandals or heels.
THE BALL SKIRT
Why We Love It:
Because it’s festive, fun, and eternally stylish. It also works as well for black tie galas as it does for cocktail hour, and the ball skirt is a completely charming twist on occasion dressing.
How to Style It:
Ball skirts are adaptable to so many different styles of evening tops, yet another reason why we love them. Hand-beaded, lace, and off-the-shoulder silhouettes all work beautifully to create a high-occasion look that’s both understated and irresistibly elegant.
BLACK TROUSERS + A GLITTERY TOP
Why we Love It:
There is no fashion dilemma that flowy black pants and a glittery top can’t solve. It’s a timeless, unmistakably chic look to reinvent again and again, depending on which top you choose—from soft metallic wraps to hand-beaded blouses.
How to Style It:
We love to elevate the perfect pair of black pants with something that sparkles. Pair them with a hand-sequined, soft metallic, or delicate lace top with touches of beadwork. Add a heel that steps it up, and a few pieces of understated jewelry to balance the sparkle.
