“To make these quick, but dramatic transitions, it’s important to think through your week and the various nightly events you will attend, but even more important are the right accessories and tools-of-the-trade -- what I refer to as under cover wardrobe magic -- to help transform any outfit and perfect a look,” said London, Brand Ambassadress for Hollywood Fashion Secrets®, the creator of Style Essentials, a collection of clever products, like Fashion Tape®, once reserved for celebrities and their personal stylists that expertly lift, hide, secure, tuck, tighten and hem.
To style yourself and adjust from day to evening with ease this holiday season, London says, consider this:
The jumpsuit jumps from day to night and is a great modern alternative to a dress. This silhouette is on-trend and so effortlessly chic and comes in a range of cuts and designs. It can be paired with a jacket for office, then cast it off and accessorize with a statement necklace or a bold cuff bracelet. Keep a low-cut neckline in place with Hollywood Fashion Tape®, or a statement necklace anchored with an Accessory Tape Dot.
Say “Santa Baby” with sexy satin. Mixing fabric textures is a great way to transition from day to evening. A tweed skirt with a jacketed satin chemise is a great look for the office and transitions well into the evening too. Once the jacket comes off, you’re all sexy satin. Use Silicone CoverUps® to tame your nipples under satin and other light-weight fabric. These multi-use nipple concealers keep pesky perked nips under control, deliver a smooth look and are easy-on and easy-off.
Liquid Legs. Leather or faux leather skinny pants are also a chic staple for holiday dressing and will carry you right through to next April too. They easily work from day to night. Pair with a turtleneck, slightly oversized luxurious sweater and ankle boot in the office and a simple tank, leather jacket, pointy toe shoes for evening. Add statement earrings for some pow! But, whether real or faux, skinny pants can stretch out throughout the day. My tip -- size down and use the Hip Hugger® back-belt to close the back-of-pant gap so many of us endure.
Tone it up with color. Jewel tones are beautiful on all skin – fair, medium, dark and very dark. Consider deep reds and emerald greens. Keep pesky elements like deodorant streaks off darker-hued garments with a single swipe of the Deodorant Removing Sponge – without water.
Don’t Bare All. Sure, its winter and cold, but next to summer, holiday parties lend themselves to baring skin the most. Showing off our arms, side-boob, backs, fronts, tummies and legs are a big part of the festive and glamorous style of the season. Make sure you only bare the amount you want with no nip slips or full-on peek-a-boobs. Keep your apparel perfectly in place with Hollywood Fashion Tape. Try the Fashion Tape Refillable Gun which lets you measure out the exact length you need.
Be Prepared with the Stylette. Nearly 90 percent of America women report experiencing a wardrobe malfunction. This can happen anytime throughout your day. The Stylette™ is a handbag-ready pouch to help women side-step any fashion or beauty snafu. It includes the must-have styling essentials: Fashion Tape, Garment Shields, Bra Converting Clip, No-Show Concealers, Deodorant Removing Sponge, Eye Makeup Corrector and Remover Swabs and more. So cute and affordable, it makes a great holiday gift or stocking stuffer.
“The Stylette is the mini-version of a safety blanket -- you always know you’re covered,” said London.
