What to Wear to the Office Christmas Party
The invitations for after-work holiday events are piling up and you have absolutely nothing to wear, well at least nothing that is both office and party appropriate. If you find yourself agreeing to this statement, fret not you are not alone. Nevertheless if you consider the fashion tips and tricks below, the process of finding the perfect office party outfit will become a whole lot easier.
Double-duty dresses:
For a holiday party, itâ??s always fun to get festive with red. Diane von Furstenbergâ??s Peyton Poplin Wrap Dress (which also comes in black) is the perfect office-to-party frock. Wear opaque tights and a contrasting tank underneath while at the office, then ditch both before heading out for the night.
A touch of sparkle:
This season is all about sequins, but a sparkly dress can be bit too ostentatious during the day. Instead, opt for a sequined top and evening trousers or even a well fitted skirt. Wear the top under a business suit jacket during the day, then trade the jacket for a beautiful wrap.
Clutch bags:
Nothing is worse than heaving an overstuffed shoulder bag to an office cocktail party. Nevertheless you can get away with an over sized clutch bag. A clutch bag is so easily transferable from day to night and you still have room for all your must-have items. Again a clutch with satin lining gives an instant old Hollywood feel.
Holiday Heel:
Throw on a pretty pair of heels and you will instantly glam up the chosen outfit. Satin will always have a glamorous modern feel. Pair the heels with thick dark tights for the day in the office, but then trade them in for brighter more daring tights for party after-hours.
Must-Have Makeup:
Finally remember to freshen up your make-up. Nevertheless, the smoky eyes look wonâ??t be very appropriate during the day at the office. Nevertheless, with a touch of forward thinking you can pack all your make-up essentials in your trusty clutch bag, making sure you have everything you need to glam up your day look without even leave your desk. Remember to pack a small mirror, a good concealer, a complimentary blusher, a cream eye shadow, good mascara, lip gloss. Lastly, always always always remember a hair brush, hair pins and your favourite perfume.
