Party outfits for under £100: The Little Black Dress and the Sharp Black Suit
Fri, 12/12/2008 - 5:30pm
These credit-crunchy times are worrying for us fashionistas – both male and female. There’s parties to attend but the ‘new outfit’ fund is looking a little short on pennies to say the least. The good news is that we’ve scoured the high street and cyberspace for the best dresses and suits under a measly one hundred quid.
Part 1: The Little Black Dress and the Sharp Black Suit.
These go-anywhere staples cannot be underestimated for their timeless style credentials, universal slimming qualities and resistance to booze spills and perspiration marks. Dark tones seem somehow fitting in these austere times, and with artful styling of accessories you can make them work from now until well into the New Year.
For the boys:
Military style jacket, Topman, £69 and super skinny trousers, Topman, £25.
Topman is always a sure bet for great design – this military style jacket has “I’m with the band” written all over it. Figuratively, not literally.
