Finding the perfect New Years Eve dress can be as difficult as finding ‘the perfect man.’
Never fear, its mission un-impossible for local designer Sofia Polak who’s got a few fashion insider tips to ensure a ‘frocking’ success.
Should we be rocking the minis or maxis this NYE?
Minis! the shorter the better, but keeping it classy of course. I have seen some great maxis around but I feel they should be more of a staple, casual garment.
Should we be looking at black, brights or prints?
Black is always a classic, but for this season there are some amazing acid colours around that would make a show stopper party dress. Mix both brights and bold prints for some 90’s fever.
What are the trends in accessories to finish a party look this summer?
I am loving stacked on bangles, cocktail rings and vintage clip on earrings – the chunkier the better.
Where should we start looking?
Online! I’ve recently discovered a great range of online stores which I’m constantly browsing. It’s a great way to find something unique that will stand out from the mainstream. For Canberra boutiques, try Wings of Desire in Manuka and Soho Dezigns, Canberra City.
What 3 things should we keep in our handbag to keep our look fresh all night/morning?
Gloss, mascara and rouge are must haves. These are crucial, so stuff them in your bag, no matter how small or thin your clutch may be!
