Dream Outfit

My personal take on New Year’s eve dressing is all about classic, elegant style combined with accessories, that give your look the air of refinement and exclusivity. Starting with accessories, I admit that my choice of a Naledi clutch in this outfit is ever so slightly biased, but then again, it is a stunning clutch, bias or not :-)  It’s a timeless shape, perfect size for a night out, and it is so irresistibly precious in the beautiful ostrich. In black, it works with practically any outfit, adding just the right dash of luxe to whatever I wear.

As for the other parts of this outfit, I fell for the simple two-tone dress by Malene Birger, which is figure-flattering and perfect for dressing up or down. I can see myself using it on many occasions, which is practical. The choice of the cosmic high heels, on the other hand, can certainly not be called practical, but what they lack in practicality they make up in sheer unabashed decadence, perfectly in the spirit of the night! Even though I have absolutely no illusions about how long I will be able to stand in them (note also champagne, bottom left…), I will still enjoy every single moment of it. As for the jewelry, less is more is the best strategy for a classic look, so an understated Mayiet bracelet and a pair of intricate Alessandra di Tomasso earrings are just perfect to complete this outfit.

Have a special New Year’s Eve!

All the best,

Natalka

Egdy and flattering, stretch leather pants are fantastic for the colder days and can be incorporated into your wardrobe in lots of ways. For a smart and cool outfit, which will carry you from day to night, balance a pair of leather leggins with a simple loose t-shirt or knit and a classic blazer, like this one from Filippa K. For added cool, add a statement necklace – we love the heavy yet intricate Dannijo pieces like this chain and spike necklace in silver. Lift the look with a pair of pointy stilettos in a contrasting colour, like these gorgeous bordeaux Stuart Weitzman boots, and you are all set to rule the city in fabulous style! For night, bring in a chic clutch, like the Naledi NB11 in metallic ostrich (buy it here), and vamp up with Chanel’s Vamp nail polish, made iconic by Uma Thurman, who wore it in Pulp Fiction.

What would you wear, if money was no object? We reveal our own wishlist, and offer you tips and inspiration on how to wear your favourite Naledi pieces.

For a sophisticated, polished look, team up a figure-flattering tailored dress with a pair of classic stilettos and an elegant clutch, like our NB11 in ostrich (shop it here). We love this dark green Victoria Beckham dress, but you can find similar styles (have a look at yoox.com), which will cause less damage to your bank account. Toughen up the look with a chunky piece of jewelry, and keep your makeup and nails neutral. Try this next time when a special occasion comes up – better yet, create one!
