YOUR MUST-HAVE PARTY PLUS-ONES
WHEN PICKING THE perfect plus-one, they must be both dazzling and dependable (sparkling conversation won’t compensate for flakiness). But while this rule is a no-brainer when it comes to companions, this festive season we should also apply it to accessories.
Maybe it’s the Meghan Markle effect, or perhaps it’s all those episodes of The Crown we’ve gobbled up, but we’re opting for accessories with princessy propriety ( blunt speakers might call them ‘grannyish’; take it as a compliment). Think crystal-cluster brooches and lace opera gloves! Think fluffy stoles and hair bows! Think pearl hair clips and block-heel booties! Are they dazzling? Absolutely. Are they dependable? Surprisingly so. Think of them as your wardrobe Fairy Godmothers, ready to reinvigorate a tired little black dress.
And these accessories have mileage way into 2018, if the spring catwalks are anything to go by. Like all plus-ones, they’re not just for Christmas.
