With the holiday season upon us, it is time to start planning what you will wear to all of the holiday festivities. Whether it is a Christmas party for work or with your friends and family, holiday get-togethers are the perfect excuse to dress up and it is important that you arrive looking your best.
Attending a work function does not mean you have to hide your fashionable and festive style. The key to dressing for your Christmas party at work is to maintain a professional look that is not overly revealing. J. Crew is a great place to begin your search for a holiday party outfit because they make versatile pieces that are suitable for almost any age group. Both by J. Crew, I chose the “Peplum Dress in Stretch Wool,” and the “Teddie Dress” because they will ensure that you stand out in all of the right ways.
If your work environment is more relaxed and the party is less formal, the “Cable-knit cowl sweater dress,” by Banana Republic is a great option. Wear it as shown below with a pair of taupe colored tights and ankle boots for a put-together holiday look. If you are shopping on a budget, this “Gemma Wrap Dress,” also by Banana Republic, is extremely versatile and is a piece you will wear over and over again.
When attending holiday parties with your friends and family, feel free to have a little fun choosing your outfit. Look for a dress that reflects your personality, flatters your figure and makes you feel great. BCBG Max Azria has many fashionable dress options that are perfect for cocktail parties. First is the “Abigail Embroidered Cocktail Dress” (shown on the left) from BCBG’s cocktail dress collection. While it is too revealing for most work parties, this adorable LBD is perfect for a night with friends. If you are not comfortable with showing a lot of skin, try the “Yolanda Dress,” by BCBG for a style with a simple silhouette and a modern appeal.
Which festive look are you dying to try? No matter what the occasion, be sure to look your best this holiday season, and celebrate another year with your family, friends and co-workers, while looking great.
