Style Guide

What women should wear to a party

A well-chosen satin slip dress or a sharp co-ord set with heels — one bold element, everything else clean. Below is the full formula our stylists use — the pieces, the footwear, the finishing touches — plus how to adjust it for your body shape and which colors will suit your skin tone.

The outfit formula

  • Satin slip dress, bodycon or tailored co-ord
  • Light layer (shrug or cropped jacket) if you want it
  • Footwear: Heels or dressy flats you can actually last the night in
  • Finish: Statement earrings OR a bold lip — pick one — and a sleek clutch.

Adjust it for your body shape

Hourglass shoulders and hips balanced, defined waist

Play up your waist — it's your best line, so never hide it. Pick fitted or wrap styles over anything boxy — let clothes follow your shape. Avoid: shapeless oversized fits that erase your waistline.

Pear hips wider than shoulders

Play up your upper body — draw the eye up. Brighter colours, boat necks and statement sleeves on top; keep bottoms darker and simpler. Avoid: tight, light-coloured bottoms with clingy short tops.

Apple fuller through the middle, slimmer legs

Play up your legs and neckline — both are assets. Empire waistlines, anarkalis and flowy A-line dresses skim the midsection gracefully. Avoid: clingy fabrics or thick belts right at the middle.

Rectangle fairly straight up and down

Play up created curves — your job is adding dimension. Peplums, ruffles, tiered lehengas and layering create the curves fabric can fake. Avoid: straight shift shapes head-to-toe that read flat.

Inverted triangle shoulders wider than hips

Play up your lower half — add volume below to balance the frame. Flared skirts, palazzos, wide-leg trousers and full lehengas balance strong shoulders. Avoid: puff sleeves, shoulder pads and wide boat necks.

Pick colors for your skin tone

The same outfit lands very differently in the right color. Find your exact palette in our skin-tone guides:
