Firework fashion
Red is an obvious colour for November 5th and you’ll find plenty of fiery pops on the high street: think poppy red, midi-length cardigan over a black floral print for a boho look; a scarlet velvet slip dress to ooze sex appeal; or a red vinyl bomber for an urban twist.
Another great choice for the occasion is sparkle: consider sequins, glittery embellishments and metallic fabric finishes. If you’re out shopping today, and you want to invest in something new, consider a sparkling dress or separates that can be restyled come Christmas and New Year, giving you your money’s worth. Glitter bodycon dresses turn up the glamour dial to 10; a sequin skirt featuring a rainbow of colour is bold and beautiful; a shimmering satin midi dress in gold or silver creates an elegant effect.
