The holiday season is peak house party season. From just-like-that celebrations to pre-wedding dos to Christmas get-togethers to New Year’s Eve plans, most parties are moving indoors into cosy living rooms, balconies and rooftops strung with fairy lights. And Gen Z has cracked the dress code.
The vibe is all about looking cool without looking like you tried too hard. The kind of outfits you can dance in, sit on the floor in and still feel Insta ready.
