The Party Outfits of 2019
Ruffles, puffy sleeves, one-shoulder dresses: we’re gonna party like it’s 1989
December is here! Whatever festivity you choose to celebrate, December is for all the month of the year when we are reminded of a universal truth: we have nothing to wear! Office get-togethers, Christmas dinners, New Year’s Eve parties.. our schedules overflow with appointments, and deep down the dread of not knowing what outfit to wear is eating us up. Being out of style ideas is probably the worst part of the holidays (a part from that scene in Love Actually where Emma Thompson realises her husband is having an affair.. the heartbreak!)
Thankfully, we’ve heard your fashion prayers. We analysed the purchasing behaviour of our 12 million monthly users, to determine which party styles you will be seeing everywhere this year, and that you will be wanting to wear too. And the main vibe of the year is – you’ve guessed it – 80s inspired fashion! According to Google, searches for “80s dress” increased by +123% vs 2018! So get your Robin Sparkles on, and check out our party highlights.

Ruffles & Ruches
