Plus: The Princess of Wales’s ‘snow queen’ style
| | | | | Festive black will always be a failsafe Christmas fashion choice, but what on earth to wear when the invite states the theme is “cosy opulence”? This was the dress code Beyoncé specified for a recent party she threw, and I’m willing to bet her guests were stricken with panic upon opening the invite.
But it’s not just Queen Bey: the Telegraph Fashion desk has recently received invites to parties coded “Furs and candlelight”, “La Dolce Vita” and even “Refined comfort”. What on earth do they mean, and how closely are guests expected to adhere to these fanciful themes? Sarah Bailey demystifies it all here, and shows us how we can have a bit of fun with these bizarre codes.
Plus, if you’re hosting one of these themed bashes, you might be looking to save some money on the booze run. Travel writer Tracey Davies hopped across the Channel to do hers – and saved a small fortune.
