Going out
Yes, even in party season™, sometimes you just go out for dinner with mates. What to wear? Fashion has got this covered – see the return of 90s classic, the jeans and a fancy top. A staple of after-dark dressing around the time Mariah Carey released Heartbreaker and three inches of exposed stomach were de rigueur whatever the weather, it’s back this season, endorsed by Vogue and seen on the catwalk at Saint Laurent and Alexander McQueen.
Rest assured, no midriff is required these days. Instead, you’ll want a high-waisted mom jean, as seen on Victoria Beckham. She wore hers with a band T-shirt, but you can be a bit jazzier than that – it is nearly Christmas, after all. Think shiny fabric, a feather trim or, to really nod to the late 90s moment, a sequin cami and pair of wedge sandals. LC
