The LAST CALL SALE is tempting enough, but SSENSE helps you get ready for 2011 in style. I know there are you people out there who still have no idea what you are putting together for the NYE shindig, but with these styles, it gives you great direction and a sure fire way to get yourself looking right.

Statement dresses

Its NYE! go big or go home for you? A statement dress is an obvious choice to stand out in a busy New Years Eve crowd. It doesn’t have to be limited as a statement with the print, but it can be added detail with sequins, studs and intricate fabric designs. However, it doesn’t have to stop there. Add a punch of statment with some jewellery. Load on the bracelets, throw on a chunky necklace or add some bling-out earrings!

Shimmer Shine

 NYE! Hello? When shouldn’t you be pure shimmer head to toe? Shimmery metalics are in right now and so are full sequined dresses, and well, just about anything that shines! The thing with shiny fabrics is that they looks great against harsh colours. I’m talking about black, white and red. Bring in 2011 in red hot shoes, a grey metallic dress and a leather jacket.

Party LBD

Last but not least. The infamous LBD. This is an all time favorite, and frnakly every woman should have a backup (or two) little black dresses that can work with any occassion. The fact that it’s black gives you endless possibilities. This gives you the opportunity to go all out with your jewellry, hair and shoes. Pops of colour really stand out against the black and throwing on a sequined accessory or two, or 5 just scream NYE!!

Don’t think I’ve forgotten about you gentlemen, but lets face it, you don’t want to stand up against your girl (or NYE kiss) with her looking like a million bucks and you don’t add compare. In this case, SSENSE has you covered. This first look is perfect for a NYE dinner or a house gathering. Layed back chic. It looks effortless without being too uptight.

Gentlemen, are you looking for something a little less formal and a little more fun? Bold Black is always appealing on any guy. When wearing a colour like black, detail can add so much to the outfit. Pair a black dress shirt with some tailored pants or jeans to keep it casual. Sure! even add a blazer or vest, and even add a punch of fun colour with a tie or bow tie!

Regardless of the choice, just make sure you bring in 2011 feeling like a million buck.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Be safe, and have fun!!! xo
