The Christmas and New Year holidays are an opportunity for us to finally put on our most beautiful dresses waiting for a special occasion in the dressing room. But how to choose your dress for the end of year celebrations based on age, body shape and the height of the event? Find out in our little fashion guide dedicated to all of you – from 20 to 60 and beyond.

Let’s take the dresses out of the wardrobe – Christmas is coming

A red sweater dress for 20 year old girls

Happy are those in their twenties. Today, young people’s style is largely dictated by street fashion, which means that their clothes are becoming more and more casual. There is no longer any need to put on a long sequined dress for Christmas, nor to wear high heels. Many girls today opt for a style that is simple, comfortable and fun. The red sweater dress comes in multiple variations and gives a festive look, without superfluous pretension. Since we are ultimately speaking at a religious celebration, it is best to avoid lengths that are too short. Depending on the model, the collar can be more or less high, the sleeves – more or less flared, etc.

To still add interest to this rather sober outfit, focus on accessories, such as jewelry, a handbag, and a belt to emphasize the waist. The choice of shoes could also make a difference. If you want to give yourself a more formal look, chic heels would be a must. Otherwise, black or white thigh-high boots can also add plenty of appeal to your red sweater dress.

A glittery dress at 30

And since 30 years old is the second youth, you shouldn’t be afraid to shine. And by that, we don’t just mean the figurative sense. The sequinned dress would put you at the center of attention and festivities. You can indulge in all sorts of frivolities, such as going bare back for example. This would only accentuate your feminine side. Apart from the traditional red and worm, don’t hesitate to opt for a gold or silver sequined dress, which would still be excellent for celebrating the New Year.

Let’s be clear, however, this dress would only be suitable for celebrating a social and chic Christmas evening. If this is the case, you will also need to take care of all the details of your look from head to toe. The elegant heels, the clutch and the jewelry must be well matched. Don’t neglect the hairstyle either, but without going to extremes. If you have long hair, neat curls would be more than enough.

A practical, but chic dress at 40

No need to mention that at forty, you are not old, my dear ladies. On the contrary, this is the age when women are more beautiful and feminine than ever. Yet, this is still the age where we women are also busier than ever. It doesn’t matter if you are a mother or you are working on your career, there is no doubt that you want to combine comfort and elegance for the end of year celebrations. Opt for a dress with a straight or flared silhouette and simple, but festive designs.

The red velvet dress is ideal for those who want a rather elegant look and the traditional Scottish dress is our choice for a cozy family Christmas. Consider pairing the first with shoes with a rather low heel and the second – with over-the-knee boots or simple boots. As for accessories, focus on sobriety, because your femininity alone would illuminate you like a jewel.

A stylish dress after 50

Like our forties, our fifties and sixties are no longer what they once were. So no more loose dresses, which would only suffocate your figure. Embrace your shape and celebrate your body with an elegant dress that highlights your shape, without constricting it. The length will preferably stop below the knees and the silhouette would be straight or widely flared at the skirt level. Everything will depend on your body shape. For example, if you have an A-shaped body shape and would like to hide your hips, opt for a flowing or trapeze silhouette. With a rounded stomach, it would be better to opt for a flared cut, empire style. Choosing a dress with sleeves is our little tip to camouflage arms that are losing their elasticity.

Otherwise, don’t be afraid to shine in a sequin dress or stylish chiffon. The choice of materials that are both noble and comfortable is even highly recommended. Don’t wear heels that are too high and don’t hesitate to wear makeup and wear some elegant jewelry to highlight your feminine side. Finally, remember that you have earned the title of “woman”. In case you don’t want a dress, the combination of a sequined top and flowing pants would be just as successful.
