WHAT TO WEAR TO A CHRISTMAS PARTY?
Cosy pub catch ups or the office Christmas party – festive frivolity is just around the corner. And with an influx of calendar invites, now’s the time to dial up the glamour.
When it comes to mastering the art of dressing up, we've got all your seasonal style questions covered – read on to find the perfect Christmas party outfit, whatever the occasion.
WHAT TO WEAR TO A FORMAL
CHRISTMAS PARTY?
When it comes to more formal Christmas parties, indulge in opulence. Think feminine Christmas party dresses cut from resplendent devoré, lustrous velvet and sophisticated silk.
Or if you prefer trousers, opt for a Christmas party jumpsuit paired with tonal shoes and accessories. Finish the look with a faux fur coat draped insouciantly around the shoulders.
WHAT TO WEAR TO A CASUAL CHRISTMAS PARTY?
Hosting at home? Lean on chic styles that are comfortable enough to wear while serving a sophisticated supper – or sipping wine on the sofa. If in doubt, a pair of sequin ballet flats add just the right amount of sparkle to a festive jumper and jeans ensemble.
WHAT TO WEAR TO A WORK
CHRISTMAS PARTY?
Wondering how to tackle the office Christmas party dress code? Start by considering the venue. If it's a lowkey occasion, a pair of tailored trousers and chic blouse is a failsafe look, with the added benefit of desk-to-dinner ease. For more lavish events, look to a little black dress – enduring and alluring, few styles are more deserving of the epithet 'investment piece'.
CAN YOU WEAR A MINI DRESS TO A CHRISTMAS PARTY?
Consider the formality of the occasion. If the dress code encourages black-tie, go demure with a midi or maxi length dress. Otherwise, a mini dress can be styled to any occasion, accordingly – refined and polished, or playful and casual.

WHAT COLOURS SHOULD YOU WEAR
TO A CHRISTMAS PARTY?
It’s the season of romantic jewel tones; look to garnet, amethyst and emerald for palette-cleansing hues. Or if you’re after maximum impact, go bold in striking red and polished prints.
CAN YOU WEAR BLACK TO A CHRISTMAS PARTY?
Absolutely! A black dress or blouse is perennially chic and will forever maintain its ready-to-wear status. Alternatively, add just a touch of glamour with black accessories.
