Greet the New Year with flair!

Uptown/Downtown gives you a few fashion ideas as well as timely tips to help you usher in the New Year in style!

Matte Metals

Add shine to the season with the use of matte silver, gold, copper or bronze. When wearing these eye-catching colors, however, it is best to counter the wattage with simple accessories.

Love that Lace!

Nothing says “feminine” like a lace dress. Choose either an all-lace item with a flesh-toned inner lining or opt for lace detail in a block color.

The All-Classic LBD

Who does not own a Little Black Dress? It is a must-have in every woman’s wardrobe. Maintain the classic look by pairing your frock with silver or gold accessories. Slip on a pair of black pumps, a simple minaudière and you are good to go!

Pretty in Prints

Animal prints that is! Mix these prints with metallic accessories to raise the sexiness level of your over-all look!

Go with the Gown

A classically-cut gown is a perfect choice for strictly formal affairs. Add drop earrings and a bracelet to complete the look. Be careful not to pile on too much jewelry if your gown already has a built-in accent piece.
