Joyce Siu

For Helen Chan, Christmas parties are the perfect opportunity to add a touch of glamour to your look

Name: Helen Chan Hoi-lun

Age: 25

Ms Chan graduated from the Chinese University of Hong Kong with a degree in Journalism and Communication. She works as a part-time

sales assistant in a Causeway Bay boutique to gain experience. She's planning to set up her own fashion label.

What are your favourite party clothes?

A red suede tube dress, a black silk dress with a fur collar and a navy floral satin empire dress are perfect party dresses. Island Beverley in Causeway Bay is one of my favourite shopping centres. Laforet, the new shopping centre near Sogo, has trendy clothes, too. Also, check out chain stores such as Zara, Mango and OZOC. You can pick up a pretty party dress for just a few hundred dollars.

Parties are a good opportunity to dress up glamorously. Faux fur scarves, leather gloves, thick belts and metallic bags are the hottest accessories this season. Sai Yeung Choi Street in Mong Kok has reasonably priced accessories.

For boys, a suede jacket with a neat shirt, paired with well-cut, wash-effect jeans,  is  ideal for parties. Check out Causeway Bay Place on St George Street.

What kind of makeup is  good for parties?

Smoky eyes can make you look gorgeous. Shades of gold  are now in fashion and they complement almost all  complexions. Gold  eye shadow looks good  with nude lips.

What is fashion to you?

Clothes should reflect your style and personality. But you should also  chose clothes that suit  your figure and flatter you. Wearing brand name clothes doesn't mean you're fashionable. Mix and match various brands, or even  make your own clothes. Second-hand items mixed with boutique designs can make you look more stylish.

I think students can wear whatever they want to university, as long as girls don't wear anything too sexy as this will  attract unnecessary attention.

Dos

- Gold and red are in fashion this winter

- Leopard print is hot

- For girls, a more masculine/unisex look is in

- When you shop, think about whether the clothes match the ones already in your wardrobe

Don'ts

- Pointy toed high heels are too feminine for this winter

- Don't wear clothes made from wool if you have sensitive skin
