Cool, confident, Chloé: how to party the Parisian way

With party season well and truly upon us, there really is no need (or time) to overcomplicate your dressing dilemmas. What you want is the perfect party outfit that is as easy to put together as un, deux trois. Which is precisely where super-dependable French fashion powerhouse Chloé comes to the rescue…

French style is renowned and revered in equal measure for being timely yet timeless, sexy yet insouciant, and elegant yet effortless, so it’s no wonder women all over the world are keen to inject their own closets with that same sense of je ne sais quoi. Thankfully, legendary Parisian label Chloé has been creating captivating and compelling designs for wonderfully wearable collections, season after season, since launching in 1952. And party season is no exception.

A red-carpet favorite with the likes of Julianne Moore, Gwyneth Paltrow and Sienna Miller, Chloé has certainly mastered the art of cool, confident partywear. The brand’s diverse fan base is fashionable proof that creative director Natacha Ramsay-Levi knows what women want from their clothes – which is not just to look great, but to feel fabulous and unrestricted. Meaning there’s no better time than party season to put a Gallic spin on your celebratory style.

Of course, when the party’s over, it’s also worth remembering that, when it comes to long-term sartorial investments, you can’t get much better than a Chloé dress. Chloé’s unique brand of modern bohemia is its signature, while diaphanous dresses have become its calling card. So whether your dream dress is imbued with black-lace drama and bold billowing sleeves or you opt for a buttoned-up minimalist ’60s-inspired mini, and whether you prefer boho fresh florals or a floor-sweeping showstopper, every Chloé piece oozes a chic sense of sophistication and conveys a confident feminine esthetic that suits every woman’s style and personality – whatever the occasion. In other words, fuss-free fashion that allows you to be yourself and to move more freely – the ultimate requirement for every woman who’s looking for an elegant party dress they can actually dance in.

When it comes to accessorizing your party outfit, Chloé’s Aby chain bag, with its signature padlock, is the perfect party piece – both practical and dance-floor friendly. Wear it slung casually over your shoulder to ensure an effortless evening look that will make juggling your cocktail infinitely easier.

As for party jewels, Chloé’s got you covered, with an exquisite array of captivating, compelling and eye-catching accoutrements that come alive at night. For an understated, subtle approach, opt for Darcy gold-tone Swarovski pearl earrings, or, if you’re looking to inject a flourish of boho abandon, Valeria lacquered gold-tone earrings are in their element when you really decide to let your hair down (quite literally). And as for the perfect party pendant, there are gold-tone necklaces galore to choose from – all guaranteed to cast their glow around the dance floor, if not a more sedate candlelit dinner à deux.

Ultimately, Chloé totally owns that sartorial sweet spot between fantasy fashion and the demands of real life. Which means that, as always, each piece of Chloé’s CR20 collection has been designed to enliven your after-dark experience and make your evening that much more enjoyable, ensuring you look and feel your very best self.

So, this party season, armed with Chloé’s much-revered secrets of cool French-girl style, be safe in the knowledge that you can arrange dinners, lock in drinks and RSVP to every invitation with a self-assured sense of confidence and excitement.
