It's the festive season - which means lots of parties , lots of events , and lots of clothes necessary. One of the hardest parties to dress for is the Staff Party - there are so many hurdles to overcome in terms of looking smart but classy, not revealing too much skin, not seeming boring - it gets further complicated at those staff parties that are day-to-night events.
I'll be tackling all kinds of Xmas parties but starting with day-to-night staff parties for women - a couple of dos and don'ts
Dos
Wear something smart and classically styled - black dress can easily take you from day- to night - wear it with a cardi for the morning part and then switch to a fur coat in the evening.
Go for understated jewellery - don't let it become a focus point
Go for toned down makeup - since this is a morning event minimal makeup will look better - keep a lippie on hand and update for the evening part though.
Dont's
Wear a micro mini skirt
You don't want to send out the message that you're looking to pull a colleague
Show off Too Much Cleavage
Same as previous :)
Wear Extremely High Heels
Don't be the tallest person at the party and do wear shoes you can spend a day in.
Show up in the morning wearing a body con dress. There might be activities to participate in - ensure you're at least somewhat comfortable.
Wear anything resembling kids clothes - you don't behave like a kid at the office - don't resemble one at the Christmas Party
I've put together a few dress that I think are great ideas for this event and a lovely faux fur jacket that you can smother yourself in at the end of the night.
