At last, people feel they can gather in groups and have a party. It has taken quite a while for people to regain their confidence after Covid. This is especially true for our age group. So maybe we won’t be gathering indoors in our hundreds. Perhaps pared-down Christmas parties will be more popular this year. Whatever everyone decides to do, it would still be nice to add a little sparkle to our wardrobe.
I have to admit that choosing partywear fills me with anxiety. It is very difficult to know how smart or casual you have to be. However, help is at hand at Hope Fashion. Earlier this week, I popped in to see Nayna, the founder and was blown away by the Hope Fashion partywear collection.
Firstly I was thrilled that they have chosen navy as their primary colour. Navy is so much softer than black. It can be worn with confidence to a Christmas day event. You won’t look out of place in navy, whereas black can sometimes look a little too dressy. Add to that crushed velvet, and Hope Fashion have a winning collection.
I was spoilt for choice as every item could be mixed and matched so that you could make many outfits out of the collection.
Apologies for the pictures of Annabel, as it was a dark, foggy afternoon, so we could only use studio lights.
Have a watch of the Instagram Reel I made with Nayna HERE, showing some of these outfits.
