[tps_title]Slouchy Pants<\/strong>[\/tps_title]<\/p>\n

Thanks to the mega fashion stars who regularly churn out sport-luxe pieces on the runway (Alexander Wang practically pioneered the look; many have since followed suit) stepping out in joggers is now perfectly appropriate. So long as they’re slim cut and made from a fancier fabric, like silk, they’re a-ok for a holiday party, too. Look for details such as ruched cuffs on the bottom or even a slim stripe down the side of the pant for extra style points. <\/p>\n

\"slouchy<\/p>\n

[tps_title]Tuxedo Look<\/strong>[\/tps_title]<\/p>\n

The most glamorous way to rebel against a cocktail dress is easily a tuxedo-inspired look. Slim trousers paired with a tuxedo jacket add an unexpected element of sexiness that suggests sophistication and confidence. Dare to go bare under the jacket to heighten the provocativeness of the look, or stick with a simple, form-fitting camisole. Either way, a pair of sky-high heels (pointy toed pumps are Kate Moss’ favourite way to finish the tux look) allow for femininity to ooze through.
\n\"tuxedo\"<\/p>\n

[tps_title]Skirts<\/strong>[\/tps_title]<\/p>\n

If you’re feeling a little ladylike but prefer separates to a dress, skirts are the best bet. Not concerned about a slim cut? Go for a pencil skirt, which emanate sex appeal in an elegant way, and can be topped with a proper cardigan or a rock n’ roll leather jacket. Maxi skirts are also a great option that have endless outfit possibilities, and a full or circle skirt adds a touch of whimsy (and danceability).<\/p>\n

\"skirts\"<\/p>\n

[tps_title]Jumpsuits<\/strong>[\/tps_title]<\/p>\n

Hear us out: jumpsuits can be really stylish and tasteful. Look for one that skims, not suffocates or drowns your figure, and always go for a slinky fabric. Dark, solid colours without a pattern keep this piece out of kindergarten territory, as do accents like tiny studs or sequins. Add a slash of skin exposure in the form of a mesh panel or a low back to show off a bit of your figure subtly.<\/p>\n
