Celebrity fete club
MANILA, Philippines - This holiday season, look the part of your fave celeb — whether you’re hitting the company Christmas party or pounding the pavement on a Saturday night.
Cribbed from the oft-documented looks of Sienna Miller, Kate Moss and Whitney Port, Topshop’s high-fashion filter produces a selection that’s part bohemian, part glamrock, part club kitten. Faux fur jackets — so very in the spirit of the late-debuting Where the Wild Things Are — are mixed with slinky, liquid leggings.
Velvet dresses, lace tights and beaded shrugs spell luxurious, while leather jackets, sequined berets and studded tights add that necessary element of toughness.
Chuck Bass serves as Topman’s template this holiday season. Refined separates, such as fitted shirts with collars and embellished trim, are the hero of the ensemble. Start with that and you have the beginnings of a snappy outfit. Gravitate towards slim, tailored pieces, such as skinny jeans, superfit cardigans and blazers, and finish it with something a little offbeat, like a beanie or a V-neck sweater.
The key to looking hot this season is playfulness. Play with proportion and have fun with texture. It’s about being adventurous.
Tough rider: Take a cue from Grease and slip into some playful ensembles for date night. Play tough and pair Topshop’s mesh corded tunic dress and opaque tights with a studded faux leather biker jacket. Be prim and preppy with Topman’s slim textured jacket in navy, striped double cuff shirt and skinny trousers. Finish it with a checked bow tie and embossed belt in yellow.
Good luxe: Luxurious elements make that night out ensemble feel extra special. Topshop’s beaded rose shrug adds the right amount of preciousness to a laid-back outfit made up of a black lace tunic over a pixie vest and zipped jersey hotpants over textured striped footless tights. Turn up in urban gear. Topman’s bleached ripped Smartie jeans get the skater treatment with an all-over geometric print zipped hoody, Fluro tee and rock star print belt.
Velvet underground: Topshop heralds the return of velvet with a velvet bodycon dress. Pair with lace tights, a fan-shaped body bag and multi-buckle shoes for the perfect party ensemble of the season. Topman’s black knit waistcoat offers a dapper alternative to the blazer. Seen here with a striped gray shirt, striped scarf, gray Simeon Twister jeans and black canvas plimsolls, the look is distinctly dapper and definitely cool.
Sequins of events: Feel festive with some flashy sequins and a Bowie shirt. A knit dress gets some sass when cinched with a gold chain-embellished elastic belt and a sequined beret from Topshop. A Bowie tee adds a dash of rock ‘n’ roll to an otherwise preppy ensemble of skinny school blazer in navy, midnight spray-on skinny jeans and a Planet Terror belt from Topman.
Textbook: Turn heads at the Christmas party in studded leggings and a slinky tee with beaded sleeves paired with a leather elastic belt from Topshop. Topman’s Tiger Stroke crewneck shirt is a bold statement tee, especially when worn underneath a purpled checked zippered hoody and skinny Twister jeans.
Cool runnings: Capture that essential jetset cool with this season’s biggest trends. Topman’s cropped trench coat spells effortless chic, particularly when paired with a white checked trim shirt, slim gray trousers and a slim leather belt. Finish it with a woven plaid scarf for that continental cool. Kate Moss and Sienna Miller have been working the faux fur jacket as of late. Pair Topshop’s collarless faux fur coat with a sequined side shell blouse. Stretch leather leggings, peep-toe platforms and a carryall in black give the look a polished edge.
