Styling your Christmas or New Year's dress in Mondo Lady Style
Once you've found the perfect New Year's dress, it's time to complete your outfit! In true Mondo Lady style, here are our top styling tips from the store for a fabulous New Year's look:
Nylon stockings with seams - the finishing touch.
Seamed stockings are a must-have for your New Year's look! Seamed stockings add elegance and sex appeal - and the seam elongates the legs! We have a great selection of both stockings for girdles and tights with seams in several colors and sizes, including plus size!
Shape-effect girdles from What Katie Did
These girdles from What Katie Did have 2 functions. There's the practical part - they can hold up socks, but they also have a slight shaping effect on the tummy. And they're just super pretty!
We also have the beautiful waist cinchers that close with hooks and have a great effect if you want that beautiful hourglass figure.
Beautiful shoes for your cocktail dress
The perfect New Year's shoes for your dress can also be found here, and we have beautiful party shoes and dance shoes from Lola Ramona, Miss L Fire and Nordic ShoePeople in several colors and models!
Gold shoes from Miss L Fire
Gold is one of this winter's big colors, and we have three models in different gold tones from Miss L Fire! We have the classic Amber in matte gold and rose gold, and the new Layla in a beautiful metallic gold color.
The Amber is a Mondo Kaos staple and it's one of our favorite shoes because it works for everything: work, dancing, mingling at cocktail parties or a romantic walk where you watch the fireworks together, arm in arm. It has a perfect heel height and great forefoot support, so it's great for walking and standing.
Layla is a new model from L'Fire, in metallic gold! It's a classic shoe with a beautiful heel cup shaped like a seashell and a very flattering V-cut on the forefoot that elongates both foot and leg! Perfect for New Year's Eve parties, they're sure to light up any dance floor.
Black shoes for parties
Black is always in, so of course we have classic black party shoes that will go perfectly with your cocktail dress, no matter what color it is.
The popular Amber is also available in black suede, with the same great heel height and forefoot support. A sexy shoe for all occasions and especially great for New Year's Eve dancing and visiting friends!
Lana is also a new model from Miss L Fire, with a sexy silver detail on the forefoot that catches the light and attracts attention. With silver-toned jewelry, you can create a stunning look that exudes cocktails, champagne and cigars!
The new Layla with the clam heel cap and V-shaped cut-out is also made in black suede - classic shoe fashion with a beautiful twist to match all your party outfits and cocktail dresses!
Clarice is also a new model, inspired by the late 1950s/early '60s, and therefore the heel is slightly lower than L'Fire's other models. The design elongates the foot and calf and makes them great to walk in - wear them with a 60s-inspired cocktail dress, bee hive hair and big jewelry for a classic 60s party look!
If you love 60s fashion, we also have beautiful black patent leather shoes from Lola Ramona! A classic Mary Jane style with a strap and a small heel that is perfect for the mini dress! These are the shoes you'll be dancing the Go-Go in on New Year's Eve! The shiny black patent leather goes well with all outfits, while also being the perfect party shoes for your cocktail dress!
Nordic ShoePeople has also made a beautiful pair of 60s-inspired shoes this season: Frida. Classic suede shoes with a T-strap and the best comfort! Nordic ShoePeople is known for their comfortable insoles that make the shoes very suitable as dance shoes! The fine T-strap gives the shoes a playful look that's perfect for New Year's Eve, where there's always something fun and surprising going on!
Red shoes for parties
Red shoes are a classic and we believe every girl and woman should own at least one pair of red shoes! For this season, we have two red pairs of shoes that are completely different! Classic red suede and burgundy patent!
We've got the Amber from Miss L Fire in the most beautiful ruby red suede that immediately makes us think of Dorothy and Oz! A beautiful pair of shoes in a classic design with great details, just waiting to dance the new year in with you!
We've also got Frida from Nordic ShoePeople in an elegant burgundy 'wrinckle' lacquer that's perfect for your low-key, sexy New Year's look! With a black cocktail dress and dark red lipstick, you can create a sexy look that exudes the daring, sexy style of the 60s!
Boleros.
When you're heading outside to watch the fireworks at midnight and popping champagne corks, it's nice to wear a little bolero to keep warm and enjoy the view of the sky while still looking fabulous. We have a beautiful short-sleeved bolero from House of Foxy in several different colors and sizes that will perfectly match your New Year's look, so you'll look stylish all night long - even when it's time for cigars and champagne!
