Wash and wear

Sick of the princessy frocks that have been floating around lately? Laundry by Shelli Segal offers an alternative to party wear this holiday season. Make your mark in scintillating suits, crafted in velvet, that add a bit of edge to your style. Rich, somber colors, like mauve and maroon, add a delightful contrast next to the bright lights and cheery Christmas décor. It’s a standout statement that every girl should consider at least once. The lean silhouette of the pantsuit flatters all shapes, adding length and slimming figures. Its masculine fit, juxtaposed against the sweet velvet fabric, is sexy on someone not afraid to hide some skin.

A jacket in ruffled leather is sweet and tough at the same time. It hugs the waist and torso in all the right spots and reveals a little skin in the most unexpected places. For those opting for the more feminine looks, a vintage-inspired top in cream edged with lace is perfect. It’s not too cloying and looks effortlessly chic.

While everyone’s tossing on frou-frou dresses in pink and pink, make your mark in stuff that's sure to dazzle in the most unlikely of shades. Black is definitely back, especially this Christmas.
