Holiday season is upon us! Say hello to a month-long marathon marked by office parties, festive cocktails, meet-and-greets with the in-laws—and more. We all know that the idea of planning party-appropriate looks for each and every occasion has the potential to make heads spin and to turn one’s closet upside down, so in anticipation of the long haul, let us ask the hard-hitting questions: How are you getting from cocktails with colleagues in Tribeca to your best friend’s family’s townhouse on the Upper East Side? And, more importantly—what shoes are you going to wear to make the trek?
Thanks to Vogue’s latest project with Moda Operandi, and in the spirit of sharing, we’ve asked Vogue Fashion News Editor Emma Elwick-Bates (who has party-circuit dressing down pat) to map out her sartorial soiree style. Consider yourself covered from fete to fete—and shop Emma’s edit here.
