Written by KATERYNA LAKOMOVA
The distinction between workwear and party attire is quite straightforward, but navigating the terra incognita of work Christmas party outfits can be a bit daunting. How do you blend office-appropriate clothing with festive looks that still shine? Fortunately, it's not as tricky as it might seem. The secret lies in mixing elements you love from both styles—think sharp blazers paired with silky fabrics or elegant cocktail dresses complemented by festive-ready heels—creating a stylish combination without overthinking it.
Looking for some fresh Christmas party outfit ideas to dazzle this holiday season? Keep reading, and you might find exactly what you need!
Skirt and Top
Looking for something easy to style? Mix skirts and tops to craft a chic, versatile outfit that takes you from your desk to a corporate party. With choices ranging from a sleek pencil to a flowing maxi, the possibilities are endless.
We chose the Organza maxi skirt from House of Dagmar as a standout piece and paired it with the eye-catching Sculpted tube top. Alternatively, opt for a light and airy chiffon or silky satin blouse that aligns with the festive spirit. Finish off your look with a pair of bold flats or some cute heels, and you'll be ready to celebrate in style.
Little Black Dress
If there's one outfit that remains timeless, it's the Little Black Dress, known as the LBD. This classic piece is a fantastic choice for almost any Christmas party theme. Whether you're attending an upscale gathering or a more laid-back celebration, the iconic LBD is always suitable.
The Mini strap dress from House of Dagmar is our LBD of choice. To elevate your look, add some eye-catching jewelry and slip into your favorite sleek kitten heels, and you'll be good to go. And if the weather turns chilly, throw on a faux fur coat to add a touch of festive glam.
Satin Dress
There's no better time to dazzle than during the holiday season. Satin dresses truly embody festive glamour, showcasing everything from timeless gold and silver to striking red and green. Embrace a touch of sparkle; after all, this is the season to shine!
The Wrap-design satin-finish dress from Erika Cavallini in a stunning golden copper hue beautifully blends festive allure with a subtle design, making it the perfect work Christmas party dress. Pair it with a chic clutch and some edgy heels to elevate your spectacular look.
Sweater Outfit
The Christmas sweater is definitely here to stay, and that's something we can all celebrate. Embrace the festive vibe with a fun sweater paired with your favorite jeans or some faux leather pants for an edgy twist. Accessorize with festive earrings to enhance the holiday accent.
But your sweater doesn't have to scream red and green with Santa Claus on it. You can opt for something more subtle, like the Brushed alpaca knit in sage green from House of Dagmar. Team it up with the Criss cross upsized jeans from Agolde, and you'll have the perfect laid-back office Christmas party outfit!
Sharp Shape
If you typically lean towards a more masculine style but want to step slightly outside your comfort zone for that big Christmas work party, this look is perfect for you.
We paired the Cropped Blazer Sine from Tiger of Sweden with an A-lined silk skirt from House of Dagmar. This combination offers a lovely feminine touch while remaining close to your usual style. To complete the outfit, opt for boots instead of heels to keep it from feeling too feminine.
Keep accessories to a minimum and finish with a simple black shirt to maintain a clean look.
Relaxed Pants
Dresses and skirts aren't your only options for Xmas party outfits. A pair of relaxed tailored pants can achieve a similar effect while adding a sharp, slightly formal touch to your ensemble.
If you're looking for comfort without sacrificing style, consider the Straight flannel trousers from Erika Cavallini. Pair them with the Asymmetric striped shirt from House of Dagmar for a polished finish. This combination makes it easy to transition from your job to a festive lunch or even a grand company celebration.
Blazer and Skirt
Business-casual appropriate but female and delicate look? It's a breeze!
Start with the Collarless Blazer from House of Dagmar, which blends a professional blazer silhouette with trendy features like its collarless design and striking button detail. Next, pair it with the Satin Midi Skirt from Erika Cavallini, adding that festive sparkle perfect for the Christmas mood. Finish off the look with mid-high heels and either a tote or a clutch, and you'll be all set to turn heads!
Layering Coat
Although it's chilly outside, that doesn't mean you can't stay stylish while keeping warm. During the winter months, layering is your best friend.
Start with the cozy Single-sleeve cashmere top Forrest paired with the elegant Cashmere boucle skirt Kael from Lisa Yang for a chic foundation. To top it off, throw on the Double-breasted wool coat from Erika Cavallini—because Christmas party clothes are all about staying snug and comfortable.
Statement Suit
Statement suits have been trending all year, and there's no indication that this style will fade anytime soon—so why not rock one at your Christmas party? They're sleek, modern, and incredibly comfortable.
Opt for a suit in a fashionable color or one that features a touch of sparkle to fit the festive vibe. We're particularly smitten with the latest combo from House of Dagmar—the Corduroy single-breasted blazer paired with the Corduroy straight-leg trousers. Just add some chic boots or heels, and you'll be all set to shine the night away.
Knit Dress
Knitwear always adds a dash of luxury, texture, and warmth to any winter outfit. Whether sporting a knit cardigan, a dress, or a skirt, this cozy material exudes a festive vibe that's perfect for the season.
For a dress that combines elegant simplicity with charm, consider a midi-length option like the Ribbed Cashmere Dress Nari from Lisa Yang. Its ribbed texture and delicate neckline create appealing visual interest.
If you're in the mood for something more playful, opt for a mini dress like Lisa Yang's Single-Sleeve Cashmere Dress Alaia. Its one-shoulder design and asymmetrical neckline add a fun, festive flair to the look.
Pastel
Pastel shades are trending this season and seem perfectly suited for celebrations! So why not give them a shot?
For this outfit, we've paired the Cashmere cardigan Felicia from Lisa Yang with the Wide suit trousers from House of Dagmar, both in a coordinating hue. The combination of viscose and knit creates a delightful textural contrast, which you can elevate by adding golden accessories and velvety heels in a matching tone.
Accessories
Don't overlook the little things! Accessories can elevate your outfit from the mundane to the spectacular. Whether it's a striking statement necklace, a pair of eye-catching earrings, or a vibrant clutch, these details can truly make a difference.
Speaking of clutches, we're absolutely in love with the Leather Clutch Bag Citta from Tiger of Sweden. Its classic design and top-quality premium leather make it a standout piece.
For those chilly days, consider layering with a pair of Knit Arm Warmers Aspen to keep cozy while looking chic, ideally in a coordinating color.
The same goes for a scarf—you can wear it wrapped around your neck or draped over your shoulders like a stylish shawl. Our favorite is the Knit Cashmere Scarf Paris, which adds a touch of luxury to any outfit.
And let's not forget your head! A fashionable hat or a trendy beanie can complete your look perfectly. We recommend the Cashmere Bouclé Beanie for its incredible softness and warmth.
