Office Christmas parties are often a time for getting tipsy with your work colleagues at the expense of your boss, sounds great, right? But this odd combination of business and pleasure means that finding the right outfit can be pretty difficult. You don't want to dress like you're actually going to the office, but you also shouldn't be dressing like you're about to hit up the club.

Generally, you want your Christmas party attire to say "I can look attractive when I'm not filing your invoices, but I don't want you to think I'm attractive because we work together and that would be um... pretty weird. But I don't want you to think I'm boring and wear my office attire every day, I want to be stylish, but sophisticated, but attractive, but not too attractive." See what we mean, your work Christmas party is probably one of the most difficult events to dress for. But fear not, because here at EFF Mag, we've done the hard work for you!

The general rule of thumb for the Christmas party dress codes is cocktail attire, but avoid anything too revealing. While we love the sheer trend, this one is totally inappropriate for mingling with your colleagues! Steer clear of anything too short, tight or low cut - trust us, there are plenty of gorgeous frocks that don't require showing off your cleavage to the guy in HR!
