Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year to take some time off to bond with family and friends. Host the perfect jolly holiday party and be the hostess with these handy tips and ideas from TANGS.
1. Setting a Dress Code. Frustrated when your guests conveniently ignores the “smart-casual” dress code imprinted on your invites? Most guests would be confused over this term hence leading to a lackluster desire to dress up. Use the term “cocktail-attire” instead. Sounds less daunting and easily understood.
2. Dress to Impress! The latest Autumn/ Winter collection off the runway largely depicts the colour grey. For the fashionable men, look out for this ultra chic two toned blazer from GREYHOUND (RM999). Ladies, it’s time to ditch the LBD and add a playful touch to your evening wears. Be the life of the party with this sequined grey dress from DANIEL YAM (RM299).
3. Put best foot forward! Wondering what’s hot in footwear this season? It’s ankle boots! Look out for ankle-length boots which gives your feet the best support without compromising on style. Ladies, vamp up the evening with this open-toe lace bootie from STUDIOTANGS(RM249) and men, try on the black leather HUDSON boot (RM999). These boots are also available in other colours.
4. Gift-exchange Faux Pas. The most exciting moment for any Christmas party is inevitably the gift-exchange. When it comes to exchanging gifts, there are thingsyou should avoid. Undergarments and impersonal gifts such as candles, mugs, napkin holders, picture frames etc should be avoided. A gift should exemplify how much you care and understand about that person. Plan your Christmas shopping early to avoid the mad-rush!
5. Bag it! Bags this season are either heavily embellished or decorated. A stylish masculine leather bag is a worthwhile investment piece to add to your wardrobe. Look out for the JOSH Horse Hair Messenger Bag (RM1399) availableat TANGS Pavilion. Add a touch of romance to your outfit with a lace shell clutch from STUDIOTANGS (RM139), suitable for ladies of all ages.
6. A trendy gift for men. Even the most fashion-proof will find a practical use for this season’s must have accessory. A scarf is a great but safe fashion piece to help enhance your man’s look. We love this one from DAVID MAYER NAMAN (RM369) from TANG+Co Men at TANGS Pavilion - which can be worn to complete a casual or formal outfit.
7. Love her? Pamper her. Girls love to be pampered! Treat your loved one to a personal spa experience with a body set by LOTHANTIQUE (RM157). Loosen up those tense muscles with therapeutic scents from this premium body and home product producers.
8. Ambience ambience ambience! The key to every successful party is the right ambience. Create and set the tone of the party with sparkly, festive decorations from the TANGS Christmas Trims Shop located at the TANGS Pavilion Atrium, L 2 from now till 2 Jan ’10 (Sun). Bask in this season’s bold, loud and metallic colours!
