The festive season is in full swing, and as your diary quickly fills up with cocktail parties, festive dinners, and New Year’s drinks, one pressing question might be on your mind: "What on earth should I wear?” Good news! Chances are, you already have the perfect outfit hanging in your (homemade) wardrobe. Why? Because the trends of the season feature many timeless pieces and elements. Let’s take a look!
TREND 1: SHEER
A tad daring yet incredibly stylish. You can create the perfect party outfit with sheer fabrics such as lace, tulle, or organza. By the way, you can learn more about sewing with tulle in this blog post! Think of a stylish (semi) sheer set with a blouse and trousers or a sheer dress layered over a (colourful) slip.
Our favourite patterns for a sheer look: Nyla, Zinnia, Eza, Nikka and Judy!
TREND 2: SPARKLES & SILVER
No party season is complete without a touch of glitz and glamour here and there. One of this season’s trends is pairing (subtle) sparkles or metallic pieces with warm knits. Trendy and cosy? Yes, please!
Here are some perfect outfit ideas: a fitted glitter skirt with an oversized jumper or a metallic dress styled with a cosy cardigan.
Our favourite patterns for this trend: Maribel, Pina, Madeline, Alice, Monica, Electra, June, Donna and Luz
TREND 3: GO MINI
For this festive season: the higher the hemline, the better. Mini skirts, mini dresses, and skorts take centre stage. Style them with tights (colourful or not) or go without, the choice is yours!
Our favourite Fibre Mood mini designs: Wisteria, Ursula, Bruna, Anna, Electra, Dallas and Nellie
TREND 4: SUIT UP
Not a fan of dresses? Opt for a sleek and sophisticated tailored look instead – this season is all about powerful silhouettes with shoulder pads, close-fitting waists, and luxurious details like satin lapels.
Fibre Mood suits: Joni, Jorla, Kai, Noelle, Kenza, Peaches, Lux
TREND 5: KNEE-HIGH BOOTS
It’s not really for your sewing machine, but let's talk about shoes! This festive season, we’re leaving our stilettos at home and swapping them for knee-high boots. These boots are perfect to go with those trendy mini skirts and dresses. Opt for a cool cowboy boot to tone down your full glam look or go for pointed boots if you want to go the extra mile.
TREND 6: RED
Last but not least, the colour of this festive season – red. Luckily, there are 101 ways to incorporate this trend colour into your party look: from a bright red dress to burgundy accessories or a mini clutch.
