How to accessorise your New Year party look (Lead, correcting dateline)

Accessorising your party look is as important as choosing the right attire for any party. For New Year's eve, be a show-stealer, says designer Pawan Sachdeva, who suggests must-haves for men and women.

"It is important to focus on accessories also when one is planning a party as it not only enhances the personality, but also makes you look glamorous," Sachdeva told IANS.

For men:

- Footwear: With a formal attire, one can wear black, brown or tan lace-ups. Slim and pointed leather shoes look good with a pair of jeans. One can match the jeans with lace-up shoes in suede or leather, and for an outdoor party, opt for leather boots.

- Accessories: For a formal look, accessories to look out for are ties, pocket squares, belts and shoes. For a semi-formal look, add in a muffler, hat and stylish leather boots.

For women:

- Footwear: To put your best foot forward for a formal party, opt for a nice pair of heels, preferably matching the outfit and not just plain black. It could be a pair of metallic or coloured heels if you are opting for a black dress. For an outdoor party, leather boots will be a safer bet. For clubbing, opt for a more comfortable pair of shoes

- Accessories: Don't go overboard with accessories. You must add a tingle of sparkle and colour to your look with accessories, but stick to the minimum.
