How to Sizzle in Party-Perfect Black Contemporary Pieces

Holiday celebrations and evening parties are around the corner, is your wardrobe party-ready? I decided to jumpstart my series of party outfit inspirational posts, once a week I will feature evening wears of a specific theme. Time flies so fast and before we know it, we´re cramming and unsure what to wear to which party.

So let´s start this series with dress-to-kill contemporary pieces that will surely make you sizzle, and by that, I mean make you look adorably hot! Although we´re bombarded with overdone statements which speak of the same, that black is elegant, we know that for most of us, this color is usually our last pick-me-up if we´re dressing for cocktail parties especially for Christmas and New Year parties. The reason is simple, we rather stand out.

Well, here are three looks that are made to give you a dramatic look to any formal event, and yes, they will make you stand out.

1. Black Feather Dress

Your color may be minimalist but not your features. Black is given a whole new definition in this contemporary feather dress with sleeveless style, structured leather style bodice, lace contrast, and a subtly volume skirt made of layers of exquisite feathers.

Polish the dress with black dress pumps, and keep the accessories elegant in silver.

2. Black Faux Fur Coat

I hate wearing original fur coats and jackets, at least since I saw a documentary of how beautiful creatures are slaughtered in the name of fashion, but I´m all for faux fur coats! This contemporary styled ELLIS coat features a layer of two tones of fur – black and dark brown.

Although it basically looks great with anything, you can add a pop of bright to the look by layering it over a lightweight rollneck sweater and red tailored trousers.

Complete the look with a pair of subtly fierce black ankle boots, and a black envelope clutch.
