A FEW WAYS TO UPGRADE YOUR EVENING WARDROBE
plus some simple tricks to elevate what you already have:
Here she is again with her precious moodboards haha. But honestly these inspirational boards help me to get an overview of what I like / what I desire / what is lacking in my closet + what looks I want to recreate. In my last letter I’ve talked about my new task for 2025: working on my evening wardrobe. As well curated my closet might be, at least 1x per month I realize that I’m lacking evening wear. Not only tops & dresses but evening appropriate acessoires / bags / shoes. The reason why this is not my sartorial forte might be: I don’t need it quite often, therefore I like to spent my money on daytime wear. BUT after a wonderful dinner invite to the state opera and other nightly occasions I decided to step up my evening wear. And there are a few simple tricks to elevate what you already have:
TIPP 1 : Invest in high quality jackets & blazers. Pieces with luxe materials that could also work during day time with e.g. Jeans.
RÓHE Mandarin Jacket // LIÉ STUDIO Magda Earrings // AMINA MUADDI Heels // KHAITE Maxiddress // ROHÉ Embellished Skirt // THE ROW Bare Sandals // LIE STUDIO Earrings // THE ROW 90s Bag
TIPP 2: Add eyecatching jewelry. I want to invest in at least one pair of striking earrings that will elevate even a simple all-black look.
TIPP 3: Invest in a unique evening bag. As I have plenty of simple, black bags my quest is to find a beautiful evening bag that screams gala but in a good way. I’m really eyeing with that Cult Gaia one… I believe a chic bag will instantly transform an outfit to night time.
ROHÉ Structured Top // CULT GAIA Bag // YSL Heels // ALAIA Heart Earrings // ALAIA Bustier Dress // AGMES NYC Dali Brooch // JIL SANDER Clutch Bag // &OTHERSTORIES Gloves // YSL Bracelet
TIPP 4: Find a simple but well made dress. I’m convinced that if you own one perfect fitting evening gown you are set. Really love the simple bustier dress from Khaite because you can always add plenty of glitz (earrings, shoes, bags) as it is a wonderful black canvas.
TIPP 5: Striking Shoes. Invest in a pair that stands out yet is comfortable enough to dance in. A pair that’ll make you feel like a million dollars.
loved the moodboards!
Striking shoes are on my shopping list for 2025. I just don't know yet whether they should be colourful (I'm thinking of red or silver) or just with glitter details.
