Creating an exuberant look without sliding from classy to brassy can be tricky at this time of year. Too often, good sense goes out of the window in favour of a flounce. Pinpoint where your event lands on the scale — from casual after-work cocktails to red-carpet dinner — and dress appropriately. But don’t be afraid to embrace a seasonal trend. Sequins, this autumn, were big catwalk news (the trend is gathering momentum for spring, too) so a sprinkling of paillettes will look very au courant — just keep in mind that a simple silhouette works best. A softer option, yet equally alluring, are home furnishing-style fabrics; not as drab as they sound, once you try out the season’s brocades and jacquards in pretty wallpaper florals.
在如今这个时节，打造奢华行头、同时避免转雅为俗是异常棘手的事。很多时候，良好的判断力往往因为脾气失控而荡然无存。所以诸位务必先明确活动的具体等级——是下班后的非正式鸡尾酒会还是高规格晚宴——然后才有针对性地确定穿着。但无需为紧跟时尚潮流而担心。今年秋冬这个时装季，装饰亮片的时装盛行一时（它还在为2016年的春季蓄势待发）。因此，亮片时装会是司空见惯的装束——诸位请只需谨记：简约款时装效果最出彩。家居类面料装（然而同样让人欲罢不能）是诸位另一类容易选择的目标；一旦尝试这个时装季盛行的印有漂亮壁纸花卉图案的织锦缎与提花面料，它们就不像听起来那样单调乏味。
