Thinking flimsy satin this festive season? Maybe an LBD for the office shindig? Nicky Hambleton-Jones, the expert stylist known for her forthright attitude, is telling us how to do new year - the stylish way. Nicky's style advice: - It's best not leave things to the last minute - try potential outfits on a few days before the event.
- If what you're wearing isn't new make sure you try it and you still fit in it. Share: - Choose the right underwear.
- Wear comfy shoes
- A great tip is to take a photo of your self before you go out. So often people put on underwear that shows up in photos when the flash goes off, or it leaves an unflattering sheen that emphasises the tummy. 1) Two style mistakes people make with their festive party outfit:
A Everyone wears black. They go to a corporate office party wearing an LBD and everyone in the room ends up looking the same. It's boring and no-one stands out. B The odd person will stand out too much in an horrendous flimsy satin number that shows off their lumps and bumps with piled on OTT accessories. Car crash couture. 2) The quickest way to slim into my party dress
There's nothing worse than people who buy a tight party dress and look like they've piped themselves into it. They end up spending the night looking uncomfortable and pulling the dress down all evening - this affects your body language and confidence. Buy something that flatters your figure. Crash dieting to fit into a party dress is the worst thing you could do as its not sustainable and you end up putting on more weight afterwards. Buy some support underwear instead. That and the right outfit can make you look a stone lighterTips: To be slim before you lose weight 3) What should I eat on the day so I don't feel bloated in my outfit?
If you haven't been eating properly during the day you'll end up getting s***-faced after the 1st couple of drinks and spend the night with your head in the toilet.
Maybe Danielle Lloyd should have had a bowl of soup for lunch? Eat something light beforehand - yoghurt is good because it's got protein and carbs - don't eat chocolate or sweet things that shoot your blood sugar up. Don't skip lunch either. You'll arrive at the party and drink champagne or wine straight away and might not eat much if the food isn't very nice or you get chatting to people.
