It’s a conundrum that every woman faces at this time of year: what to wear to party season events.
And, if you’re now panicking and thinking of splurging on a whole new outfit for this year’s work Christmas party, then Nigella Lawson has some words of wisdom for you.
Whatever you do, don’t both buying a brand a new pair of heels…
Speaking in the new issue of Prima magazine, out now, the TV chef revealed there’s just one party season style rule she always adheres to: never wear new shoes to a party.
‘I have one rule: never, ever wear new shoes to a party you’re giving or going to,’ she told Prima.
‘After five minutes, you’ll be in too much agony to enjoy it. I’m very happy barefoot when people come over.’
And, chatting about her go-to party season outfit, Nigella revealed she prefers to keep things low-key, and often ends up reaching for an old favourite from the back of the cupboard…
‘My festive style is relaxed, too,’ she said. ‘I don’t dress up a great deal; I really like to be comfortable.
‘If I’m not in my regular black jeans and jumper uniform, I do have a red jersey dress that must be about eight years old, which I return to again and again. It’s festive but relaxed.’
