With NYE on the horizon and many thinking about what to wear, it’s a difficult balancing act of wanting that wow factor, but nothing so over the top there is no occasion to wear it again!
Top tips when it comes to NYE or occasion dressing is to go for a timeless look, something that won’t date over time. Opt for a great fabric or texture, luxurious velvets, soft satins or sparkling sequins. With wardrobe staples such as the little black dress, a great pair of tailored trousers or beautifully made blazer.
These outfits can then be loved for many years, with them being updated and worn in various different ways. Such as with a new piece of jewellery, a bold statement bag, shoes in a metallic or contrast colour.
Another great option new to John Lewis is our Fashion rental offering. A cost effective and sustainable fashion choice. This is a great way to rent an amazing outfit or accessory for a fraction of the price for your special event.
