Holiday Office Party Attire

Ok guys…so this year is the first big holiday party (at least the most important one) that I am attending.

All the hot shot CEO’s, VPs etc in my law firm will be here. This is my chance to impress them :smiley: because there really isn’t any other time or place that I get to meet them…and this is also where they will be the most relaxed and willing to hear you out. :faizy:

So tell me…what attire is best for such an occassion?

post some pics of the type of attire you guys plan on wearing for your office party or post some pics from online which you think is most suitable to wear.

so help a sista out…and lets get posting ppl! :hula:

Re: Holiday Office Party Attire

For our holiday party on the Cruise, I chose to wear a black dress (knee length) with long black boots.

It's stylish, yet covers up, looks elegant.

Re: Holiday Office Party Attire

For mine and its my last party at this place after working here for 5.5 almost 6 years, Im wearing a plain white short chiffon dress which falls right above the knees accessorized with a chunky gold belt some bling bling gold heels and a cute clutch.

Re: Holiday Office Party Attire

i’d wear something out of here because i love this store!
Category - Wear to Work

also this jacket/the entire outfit is really cute

If you really want to be noticed, don’t wear just another black dress with black heels, because everyone else will also be wearing that, wear come chic and also different yet keeping it office appropriate. Different color/cute high heels/chunky bracelet/hot clutch and your good to go!

Good advice - however - any other color is either too bold or makes you feel out of place. Black is always acceptable in parties here.

I would love to blend in with new colors but I never felt comfy among peers her.

The only acceptable colors here are black and brown. (mostly dark colors).eww

Re: Holiday Office Party Attire

^ i agree with the dark colors but it doesn't just have to be black or brown, its can be any color as long as its not a bright shade.

Re: Holiday Office Party Attire

Purple looks quite chic if you do not want to go down the black dress look.

I would wear a long dress, a nice shrug/shawl/wrap and some heels. Accessorise with a clutch and nice earrings.

Coast has some lovely dresses. Don't know if that is a worldwide store.

i have a really cute red and black plaid high waisted pencil skirt with a black blouse and some pearls to dress it up. I did a bit more dramatic makeup than they were used to seeing look like at my office. oh and i wore opaque black tights.

Another year I found a really cute simple cocktail dress that wasn't too fancy nor too revealing it worked and i brought a dressy sweater luckily bc it was cold at the restaurant.

Re: Holiday Office Party Attire

all great ideas.....

NJMasti...the black dress with boots is a great idea. You cant go wrong with that.

what do you guys think about the color red? is it too bold?

also please post some more pics so that i can get more ideas. thanks :D

Re: Holiday Office Party Attire

i think you can do a red top and black pants or a skirt. Since it's a holiday party and it's at night - you can do a bit of color

At my holiday party people do a lot of red, gold and black.

its the last thing on my list that i am gona worry abt.....
with my scarf and coat that covers up half of what i am wearing....

i’ve been looking for a nice dress for a graduation party coming up and well i went to bcbg’s website and they have a whole section just for office party wear

hope that helps!

other stores like

white house black market

banana republic

had some nice choices.

Re: Holiday Office Party Attire

where is the party being held? I think dark black dress pants paired with a satiny top and blod accessories would look awesome... or if you're ok with dresses and skirts.. go for a a pencil skirt with a pretty tunic top or shimmery glittery sweater and chunky heels... or a shift dress+leggins+boots.... minimum skin show for an office party is the key here... you could go a tad casual or understated with teh clothes but dress it up with accessories, nice makeup and a nice hairdo/hairstyle

Target has some nice work dresses that could be dressed up.

exactly what I was thinking…red silky shirt with some nice black pants and heels.

nice…the benefits of covering :smiley:

ironically I just checked out bcbg’s site before coming here and I too saw some nice clothes. I went to BR last night…didnt really see anything nice. :bummer:

Our party is held at a restaurant which is reserved for us in downtown DC. It’s nothing formal.

Riya thanks so much this…def gave me some ideas. I think I will focus more on hair and accessories. Was thinking of doing an updo since wont be showing any skin :faizy: lol
