MOVE over burgandy, there’s a new viral colour in town.
Over the autumn everyone was wearing pretty plummy shades, including us at For EveryBody.
But for party season, there’s a new winter shade that’s taken over – beautiful brown.
I’m a 44-year-old size 10 while my work bestie Katy is a self-confessed big-boobed size 18.
In our YouTube series, we scour the supermarkets, most-loved shops and online stores to find gems that flatter both of our ages and shapes and to see if there really is something ‘For EveryBody’.
And in our latest festive partywear haul we found the ideal skirt in the new cosy colour of the season.
I am a sucker for sequins but I was sceptical about brown shades, it’s just not the most exciting colour and I wasn’t sure it would suit me.
But this gorgeous, bronze a-line midi skirt from Tu at Sainsbury’s fits like an absolute dream.
Unlike some sequined garments, which can be scratchy and uncomfortable, this is super soft.
It has a lovely, plush velvet under the sparkles which makes it even more lux.
What I loved about this particular skirt is that it dresses up and down. I styled it with a gorgeous, roll neck, sleeveless cable knit jumper, also from Tu, and plan to wear this for New Year’s day dinner.
It’s stretchy enough to hide a multitude of steak pie sins – and suited both our shapes, flattering our curves without feeling too tight.
But it could also easily be dressed up with a slinkier top and heels for a Hogmanay party.
And it’s an absolute steal – originally being sold for £25 and now reduced to £12.50.
Shoppers are also loving the skirt.
One said: “I bought this a week ago and have worn to three Christmas events already.”
Another gushed: “Delighted with the way the skirt hangs and moves as I walk. Fit flattering and light bounces off sequins. Perfect for Christmas and New Year.”
A third added: “This is a stunning skirt which fits well and looks quite luxurious. I dressed it down with a jumper and boots but it would also work for a more dressy occasion.”
Meanwhile, a fourth echoed: “This looks and feels so much more than the price suggests. A lovely long length. Can be dressed up or down.”
