It’s not possible to disregard now, the festive season is right here, prefer it or not. I appear to have an unusually excessive variety of occasion invites already this 12 months, one thing that by no means usually occurs, is everybody considering of partying their technique to oblivion as all of us stare into the Brexit abyss? Pleasant although that is, inside my coronary heart groans on the considered having to decorate up. So I’m on the look out for a simple to put on, arduous working gown that may see me by means of.
Whereas whizzing by means of Selfridges this week I discovered myself within the Me + Em nook (it generally occurs). I like the way in which this model appears to be like grown up however in a contemporary, slouchy, don’t-really-care manner. There’s a crimson assortment on the rails which caught my eye and nothing says Christmas greater than purple, the color alone pronounces you’re in a festive temper. There’s a stunning pair of immensely glamorous, broad leg night trousers in thick, double sided crimson satin crepe, which you possibly can match with a type of beautiful shirts from Kitri I discussed final week.
However my coronary heart was misplaced to the night shirt gown, with its sporty satin sleeve stripe and zip entrance element. Staff it with some stylish trainers (maybe one thing a tad extra glam than these white ones) and also you’re good to go. It’s additionally machine cleanable (simply penning this makes me really feel like my mum, circa 1970 speaking about something purchased from M&S).
In order for you a bit extra leopard print, then Boden has this good festive gown that I predict would be the go-to quantity for a lot of this festive season (it’ll be all over the place in Barnes). I at all times just like the Boden partywear provide, which this 12 months is all Meghan-Markel-meets-The-Vampire’s-Spouse. The velvet is at all times good worth, I checked in to see if it was nonetheless doing the velvet trouser go well with in enjoyable colors, however this 12 months it is available in a bird-patterned printed velvet. Up to now, the purple gown wins. I’ll hold you posted if I discover something higher.
