Styling Advice A Stylist's Guide to Party Season Dressing

When we think of party season styling, we often picture rich red velvet, green bows and festive tights. While that may still ring true, party dressing is evolving, with experimental trends emerging and fresh interpretations of classic Christmas looks taking centre stage. We spoke to Fashion Stylist, Marina Didovich about the key 2025 party season trends, and how to make them work for every event in your festive calendar.

Feather Details

This season, feathers are everywhere, from soft, fluttering hems to statement capes that add instant flair. If you prefer a more understated approach, opt for subtle feather touches such as a little black dress or timeless silhouette finished with a delicate trim. If drama is more your style, embrace it fully with a feathered hem dress or cape for maximum effect. The Stardust Mini Dress offers an ideal balance, combining premium fabrics with textured contrast, for a look that’s striking without overwhelming. 

Modern Embellishment 

Nothing elevates eveningwear quite like embellishment. Look for classic silhouettes and refined fabrics, accented with just a hint of sparkle. This creates a polished finish that often means you can forgo jewellery altogether. The Naia Mini Dress captures this perfectly with its jewelled hem and clean neckline, drawing attention to the décolletage without the need for a necklace. 

Cape Revival 

For black-tie occasions, the cape silhouette is having a true revival. It brings a sense of poise and elegance to formal dressing, offering a structured yet fluid shape that photographs beautifully. The Adoring Maxi Dress delivers a striking contrast of tailored lines and graceful movement, a modern expression of femininity.
