Which dress for which occasion

• Office or formal work event: Go with maxi or midi sequin dresses like the Neve  — it reads dressy, sophisticated and winter-appropriate.
• Friends’ night out / club vibe: A bodycon or mini dress with sparkle  fits the energy perfectly.
• Family dinner / city cocktail bar: A midi sequin or a less dramatic dress works great — move in comfort, still look festive.

Colour + fabric & the Irish/UK winter

• Sequins, satin, metallics and velvet are big right now in party dresses (for good reason!).
• Classic festive colours — red, emerald/green, navy, black , silver / gold and Brown which is huge right now.
• Because it’s winter: layer cleverly. Pair your dress with a tailored wool coat link our coats), faux-fur stole or smart blazer.
• For Irish/UK weather: maybe add sheer tights and a sleek ankle boot if you’re outdoors or catching trains/taxis.

Styling tips

• Accessories: Let the dress shine — big sparkle? Keep bag, jewellery and shoes slightly more subtle.
• Shoes: Strappy heels, block heels or sling‐backs all work. If you’re on cobbled streets or late-night taxis in Dublin or London, consider comfort!
• Hair + make-up: A bold lip (berry or red) pairs beautifully for Christmas. Soft waves or a sleek bun keep the attention where you want it — your dress.
• Warmth: Layer a longline coat over your dress when you’re arriving or waiting outside. A clutch means you won’t be dragging a big handbag all night.
• Fit & length: Minis are fun but may need tights; Maxis make a statement but ensure you can walk comfortably.
