During the Christmas period and on other festive occasions, you’ll be no doubt celebrating with family and friends at events both large and small. What better time to dress up in beautiful outfits, put on well-chosen accessories and get in the party mood? Warm fabrics and colours are welcome signs of brightness on cold, dark days and put you in the party mood. At MONA we take great care to use only the best quality fabrics, designed and cut with care to let you dazzle in style without compromising on comfort.

Skirts, trousers and dresses to be worn for festive occasions should make you stand out and shine. Take your pick among the selection at MONA to radiate elegance from head to toe.

• When spending the festive season with family and friends, you want to feel as good as you look. Stretch fabric for classic trousers or skirts allow you to lounge for hours, while an attractive blouse or top will dazzle.
• For dinner or more formal events you can be perfectly dressed in a suit or twinset, with a tie neck blouse in muted colours or a top with cutout detailing—depending on the occasion.
• With an invitation to a formal celebration or similar occasion, an evening dress with a matching jacket and slingback court shoes will allow you to be festively dressed and look your best.
• Evenings at the theatre or the opera call for festive fashion with a bit of glamour, and satin and sequins are just the thing for such events. If you opt for simple outfits, you can stand out with jewellery that makes a fashion statement.
• For party nights in chic surroundings, wear comfortable, flattering skirts or leggings with an embellished top as stunning partywear.

No matter whether you opt for a twinset, a festive dress, an elegant skirt or trousers, your outfit won’t be complete without matching accessories. Handbags, shoes and jewellery complement festive fashion to create the desired effect. There are many ways to upgrade your style for the festive season.

Shoes are the obvious accessories that come to mind—classic court shoes will support your feet and keep a spring in your step even during long events. Slingback shoes are an alluring variety, and in warm surroundings you can even resort to peep-toes or sandals. Small evening handbags are indispensable to keep mobile phones, car keys and lipstick at hand. Depending on your outfit you can select a dazzling clutch against a timeless black dress or a simple handbag that matches your shoes. Jewellery offers so many possibilities—necklaces, bracelets and earrings add a touch of glamour, especially when worn with simple festive outfits. If your dress is already embellished with sequins or rhinestones, your jewellery is best kept very understated.

To wrap things up, grab a long stole, a bolero or an elegant blazer to ward off draughts. Here too the colour should be in keeping with your outfit.

Items for the festive season and for evening wear may consist of delicate fabrics such as lace, chiffon or velvet. To keep them pristine and beautiful for a long time you should treat them gently. When in doubt, resort to the services of a good professional dry cleaner. They will know how to deal with your stylish evening wear.

If you want to clean items yourself, check the cleaning instructions on the label and follow them carefully. Here are some tips to help you care for fine textiles.

• Chiffon dresses or blouses can be washed in a laundry bag at a maximum of 30°C using the gentle cycle and detergent for delicate fabrics. Chiffon should be spread out flat to dry. If ironing is possible or necessary, use an ironing cloth without steam.
• Satin likewise goes into a laundry bag and should be turned inside out. The fabric requires a gentle cycle, without fabric softener, at a maximum of 30°C. Hang anything up out of direct light to dry.
• Velvet has to be hand washed, but without rubbing or squeezing, and spread out on a clean towel to dry. If velvet items are dried in warm, humid conditions they tend to wrinkle.
• Silk is another fabric that is best washed by hand in lukewarm water, with no softeners or bleach. Dry spread out flat on a clean towel.
• Jersey can be machine washed at 30°C, turned inside out in the machine. With a low elastane content, some jersey items can stand washing at up to 60°C depending on manufacturer’s instructions. Jersey is best left to dry in the fresh air.
