L‘New Year’s dress: difficult to find the perfect model, very easy to end up relegated to a corner of the closet for the rest of the year. How to wear it every day? Whether it’s the classic sequin dress, a velvet mini dress or a sensual lace slip, the idea to recycle the party dress par excellence comes directly from the fashion shows.

Where we have seen it
Thanks to the Omicron variant, the New Year 2021/2022 saw most of us celebrate at home and surroundings: but after almost two years of fluctuating lockdown, the party look within its walls is cleared through customs. For those who nevertheless unleashed a riot of sequins on the night of December 31st, the good news is that that dress can also be used in 2022. The starting point for creating an outfit that is brilliant even in sunlight: a dress in black sequins, sheath dress model, sleeveless, short or tending to the micro, like the one spotted on the catwalk of Chanel Fall Winter 2021/2022. That is, the flagship garment of the Holidays for most of us, in a luxury or low cost version, which is currently growing on the last shelf of the wardrobe.

How to reuse the New Year’s dress all year round
A legacy from past New Years or from December 31, 2021, it doesn’t matter: what matters is knowing how to reuse it in the future. No, the occasion to celebrate is not necessary: the maison offers the opportunity to reinterpret the classic party dress. Everything is, as always, in the combinations: the simplest trick, replace the strappy sandals or the festive pumps with a pair of knee-high boots, like elegant riding boots. The suggestion to be grasped: the combination with a garment that we all have or should have in the wardrobe, the men’s striped shirt. Just wear it under your dress to tone down even the brightest sequins.
A recycling ploy that lends itself to making any daily evening dress. And to never stop shining, a metallic bag and a crystal choker are enough …
