The blog for Mangoshop.com updates: new arrivals, promotions, trends and much more.

Party time has arrived and you sure want to look gorgeous.

We have prepared some ideas for you based in the sexiest and most sophisticated 80s evening look. Contrast is this trend’s key element: very feminine dresses combined with masculine blazers; the game of mat and shiny, or transparent and opaque fabrics are some examples.

There are two main proposals. In the first one, the sequins are the essence and the colour is black, though you can play with touches of petroleum. Furry garments, biker leather jackets or platform shoes complete the silhouette.

The second one shows a more feminine, sophisticated and sexy silhouette. Skinny fitted dresses with boleros are the main trend. The new volumes on the shoulders and the brocade effects on the fabrics are details to note. Base colour is still black, with touches of aubergine. We recommend high heels shoes to finish the look.
