What To Wear To The Work Christmas Party
You swore you wouldn’t do it again. You promised yourself. Yet here you are, once more in the same position. No, we don’t mean you drunkenly reenacting the Dirty Dancing lift scene at last year’s office Christmas party (this, clearly, was the toast of the event). We’re talking about before the work end-of-year ’do has even begun; the part where you’re sans outfit moments prior to the auspicious occasion.
This year, save yourself the last-minute scramble with Stylight. Turn over a new leaf (never too late to get a start on those New Year’s resolutions) with these five office-party-ready Christmas looks.
1. The (work-appropriate) little black dress
You can’t go wrong with a little black dress! Make sure you go for a more “conservative” piece: long sleeves and/or a pinafore silhouette are both perfect choices. You can also add a pair of printed stockings for more coverage and a touch of fun.

Embrace the festive season with a sequined ensemble! A sequined suit, jumpsuit, or dress are super chic options for your next office Christmas party. Sequin trousers, on the other hand, will look stunning paired with a romantic blouse or a white button-down shirt.

A bright-hued, oversized suit paired with kitten heels and fun accessories is a great way to stay work-appropriate without being too serious—it’s a party, after all! We love how Janka Polliani paired a red flower choker with her pink two-piece suit.

Tired of the jeans-and-a-nice-top combo? Flip it around with the Fun Pant method. A funky pair of retro-inspired printed trousers and a blouse or shirt are perfect for your office’s Christmas party. If you’re feeling bold, pair your trousers with a clashing-print blouse and metallic pumps; so good!

Another office-friendly take on the mini dress involves pairing it with an oversized blazer. In this case, let your outer layer be the hero piece by going for a bold print or interesting fabrication.
