While parties have looked different in the past few years throughout the pandemic, they’re back in full swing this holiday season, and designers are delivering on the fashion front. From crystal- and pearl-embellished party shoes to velvet micro minidresses, holiday-party shopping is stunning this season. One of the most exciting new developments for your holiday wardrobe is Moda Operandi’s Club Moda capsule collection—which includes exclusive designs from cult brands such as Khaite, Des_Phemmes, LaQuan Smith, and Del Core—that will define what party dressing looks like this year.
This season’s festive dress code? Cool-girl energy that taps into Y2K nostalgia, skin-baring elements, and pieces that are over-the-top in the best possible way, according to Moda Operandi co-founder Lauren Santo Domingo. “It’s pure fantasy fun and captures all the energy and excitement of going out,” she explains. Curious to hear more about the capsule collection and the exact trends we can expect to see on the event circuit, I spoke with Santo Domingo for her take on what partygoers will be wearing and her advice for being the best dressed at a party, which includes “knowing your who, what, and wear.”
