Between wrapping up work projects, shopping for gifts, and attending holiday events, it’s a busy time for many of us! The last thing you should be stressing about is what you should wear to a holiday party. Read on to see our best head-to-toe outfit recommendations for all your work, friends, family, and charity festivities this season.
Work Holiday Parties
This is the age-old question: what does business casual even mean? A fun spin on a classic sweater paired with jeans or a midi skirt will keep you warm in a well air-conditioned room and express your personality, all while maintaining a professional appearance.
Family Holiday Parties
Whether the party is being hosted by your immediate family, extended family members or your in-laws, it’s always a safe bet to dress sharp for the occasion. For many, the holidays are the one time a year that we see some of our loved ones, so you want to maintain the good impression you left last year. A modest, well-fitting matching set will help you look tasteful and put-together.
Friends’ Holiday Parties
Your friends’ holiday gathering is the time to have some extra fun with your outfit! Show off your good taste and trendy closet with a feather-trim dress, or a sequined top with black trousers and matching heels. Alternatively, you can try pairing a festive knit cardigan with a pair of jewel-toned corduroy pants and loafers.
Charity Galas
This is your chance to dress like the tree topper you are! Silver and 80’s glam has been hot all year. Stand out from the velvet-clad-crowd and try a full sequined gown instead. For suits, opt for a tailored, jewel-toned jacket and trousers with a crisp white button down shirt.
