Whether it’s Christmas dinner with your in-laws, lunch with friends or a black-tie work event, the festive season is a time to get dressed up and party.

If you have been prowling the boutiques for the perfect outfit, look no further.

Rock the red carpet in wild animal prints that have roared back on to the fashion scene of late and seem set to stay.

For a different, dramatic look, you can’t go wrong with a single shoulder.

They provide a coquettish glimpse of skin, but cover enough to keep you comfortable. Add a little petal power and you have the perfect mix of edgy, sexy, and sophisticated.

Corals and reds take their inspiration from the heady appeal of summer sunsets with an Indian slant.

Wearing these vibrant and exotic shades is certain to heat things up and add a touch of spice to any function.

This is “Club Tropicana” with languid liquid-like fabrics of soft chiffon and cool cotton knits.

Have some fun with the chic yet cheeky cocktail length all dressed up with a feather boa.

Finally flaunt a funky fashion trend and step out in a jumpsuit, take your pick of shorts with bright stripes or do your thing in a mix of black, white and bling. - The Mercury
