If you’re ready to party, the holiday season is certainly the time to bring out your favourite sparkly metallic frocks. With rich reds, sparkling fabrics and chic accents, there’s nothing quite like festive fashion to dial your style up a notch. Look to the runways to gather some creative inspiration, and put together a holiday outfit that would impress even the most seasoned fashionistas.

Oscar de la Renta

For those company functions where coverage is required, turn to Oscar de la Renta for your inspiration. Try slipping into a silky, sleeveless red blouse, accessorized with a pair of pleated matching straight trousers. For a finishing touch, strappy red heels, dangling earrings and an embellished clutch wrap up the overall outfit.

Carolina Herrera

At Carolina Herrera, pure elegance was the order of the day. We are admiring this short-sleeved silver frock, which features a dipping V-neckline and fluttery short sleeves. Meanwhile, the shimmering sequins and the tones of green, blue and silver create an ethereal, romantic effect.

Prabal Gurung

Prabal Gurung experimented with femininity, in the form of a burgundy velvet dress with billowing sleeves and a swirling hem. Knotting the dress with a slim black belt and adding a pair of pointed toe tall boots completed the overall outfit. If you’re looking for understated glam, this dress is a perfect example which can work for just about any holiday function.
