Your cocktail attire should be “lady chic:” a look that is deliberate and polished, yet very present-day. Dresses are still in, but opt for a saturated shade of Bordeaux or be timeless in a tuxedo jacket and wide leg pant. Pair subtle trims and statement toppers with a fur capelet and a handheld bag in a deep exotic skin. Finish off the look with bold gold accessories—a fashion investment you can bank on—and a pair of black and gold pumps, the ultimate “lady chic” shoe. King of Prussia Mall; neimanmarcus.com
