Christmas parties are some of the biggest events of the season so obviously you want to look and feel your most confident self. Of course every Christmas party is different, depending on whether it’s a work outing, catching up with friends or your typical fam jam get together. So you don’t end up throwing all of your clothes out of the wardrobe and exclaiming you’ve nothing to wear, get a head start this year and plan ahead! Here’s our top choices on what to wear for every type of Christmas party.

The Office Christmas Party

Prepping your outfit for your work Christmas party is probably one of the hardest to deliberate. Your boss might be there, colleagues that you don’t know so well and perhaps even a CEO. You’ll want to be more dressed up than you would be for an average day at work but not too sexy or out there that you look unprofessional. Furthermore, you might have to go direct from the office to the venue so simple switch ups to take you from work to play is essential – unless you want to take a suitcase to work!

A jumpsuit is the perfect option for this occasion. Choose a color appropriate for the office, black, grey, or deep jewel tones are all great options. Pair with a stylish blazer or jacket and comfortable flats for the daytime and simply pack a pair of statement heels and some dark lippy to slick on before the party. Easy as 1, 2, stress free. Do avoid plunging necklines that might not go down too well with your superiors and definitely watch your wine intake, the last thing you need is a Bridget Jones scenario where you’re singing dreadful alcohol fueled karaoke in front of your boss!
