If the party season schedule is putting you at risk of spending more on outfits than time with friends and family, consider investing in one versatile dress you can accessorise for all occasions :-)

CocktailDress

The dress:

Roland Mouret, $1425

Team it with:

Lanvin necklace, $2811

Gianvito Rossi shoes, $775

Topshop jacket, $155

A black lace stiletto and muted embellishments make a simple dress after-five appropriate without looking overdone. Predominantly black accessories keep the look modern while downplaying the ‘glitz’ factor.

CocktailDress2

 

Team it with:

Country Road sandals, $99.95

Tree of Life necklace, $16

Aurelie Biderman ring, $235

Classy, yet casual and comfortable; add a pop of colour with a bright, flat sandal and statement neckpiece. Keep other accessories to a minimum and go for natural make-up and a simple up-do.

CocktailDress3

 

 

Team it with:

Dries Van Noten shoes, $875

Sportsgirl earrings, $12.95

Kenneth Jay Lane cuff, $164

The perfect excuse to get dressed up – go for gold with statement earrings and a bold cuff. Keep things interesting by adding a printed heel to the mix.

CocktailDress4

 

Team it with:

Mawi bracelet, $595

Dannijo earrings, $245

Marni clutch, $935

Unlike most other occasions, a New Year’s Eve celebration calls for extravagance. Don’t be afraid to mix metals and wear more than one statement piece – this is the night of nights and it’s your time to shine.

CocktailDress5

 

Team it with:

Erdem necklace, $1145

Topshop clutch, $130

Asos shoes, $80

Look for classic shapes with tasteful embellishments when dressing for corporate occasions. While after-hours events allow for a little more opulence, beware the temptation to get carried away.

“Less is more” is a good mantra to follow, so if you’re considering statement jewellery or an embellished clutch, play it safe with a simple, strappy heel.
