Hong Kong party-goers need little excuse to don their finery. But Christmas brings out a new level of glamour. Just because it is cold outside doesn't mean we have to be all covered-up: a flash of back is sexy, especially with the return of the floor-length gowns.
We are loving off-the-shoulder slinky numbers in metallics or something with a 1970s twist, since retro styles have pervaded winter runways.
Although the LBD is simple and chic, earthy rusts, glistening gold and champagne tones will stand out in a sea of blacks and greys. Prints, leather, broderie anglaise and lace can give your evening outfit added texture and complexity. Too many people opt for satin, which can often look cheap.
There are many ways for you to shimmy your way through this party season. Here are some of our favourites.
