For many, a night out might constitute a cocktail dress. For others, depending on the seasonal setting, it could mean a great pair of pants. It's safe to say, and this is something I've discussed frequently of late, that there is no distinctive style of the times. We're not living in an era like the 20's, where women's liberation embraced a freer style of dressing. Nor are we living in the 50's when status and wealth, or how tightly your corset could cinch your waist depicted your social place. Need I say more when it comes to the distinctive styles of the 60's, 70's and 80's? Perhaps not. We're no longer all dressing similarly.
There's been an overwhelming reflection on the female form and shapes that came out of the 50's and Matthew Williamson is the next designer to conform. Jessica Lowndes is wearing his cinched look with ease and has chosen a fool proof style for a red carpet turn.
When it comes to show stopping glamour, Jennifer Lopez on the other hand shows that short and tight is the way to go. It's not everyone's first choice, but it works for a night out dancing with friends if so inclined.
Cynthia Rowley, and American designer who hasn't quite tapped into the Australian market yet, but continues to produce beautifully shaped pieces in even more beautiful fabrics. She's out in her trousers and pulls of effortless ease in style.
When it comes to curves, America Ferrer knows how to show them off best. Her colourful choices of late have excited critics who want her to push the limits away from black. This is a stunning look for her, and as always, her belt finishes the outfit with aplomb.
