Wear what makes you feel as festive as possible! And only you know what's gonna fly at your workplace, but many of us are blessed (like us at Cosmo :)) with a more relaxed, inclusive dress code these days. Basically what youd wear on casual Friday is acceptable, but if you want to go a little.

Standard caveat: the holidays are stressful enough without having to worry whether or not Jan in sales will think your office Christmas party outfit is OTT or has an abundance of “unnecessary” tulle. The attire typically ranges from business to business casual clothing. The key is to take aspects of both categories that you love-like luxe blazers and silky fabrics or A-line dresses and dance-floor-ready heels-and throw ’em together without thinking too hard about it. You can go super formal, keep it casual or add in a costume party element with a casino, gambling or Vegas theme.

Seriously, how do we combine office-appropriate attire (business casual-shudder) and party-ready ’fits (sparkles, fun fabric, statement pieces-the exact opposite, basically) in a way that actually looks good? Turns out, it’s not actually as scary as it seems. So, the difference between workwear and party clothes is crystal clear-so venturing into the gray area of an office Christmas party can feel a bit unnerving.
