Our edit of the coolest party picks and tricks to tide you through holiday season:
Sultry Winters
The overarching theme for our exclusive party edition is dressing sexy and looking glamorous. Think peek-a-boo dresses, thigh high slits, ’80s silhouettes, and the colour red. If you want an androgynous take on this trend, try vinyl pants.

You need a pair of statement sunglasses at a party for many reasons. First, to use as a picture prop, then to avoid the paparazzi, and third to hide your puffy, hung-over eyes the morning after.
