Style 24-7: Chic Holiday Office Party Looks

Fab work-approved pieces for the next holiday shindig.

By Celia L. Smith · November 19, 2012October 28, 2020
01
Haute For The Holidays

Step out of your suit and slacks and into a sleek style that will impress your co-workers at the next fab function!

02
Luxe Look

Blazers lend a professional vibe to even the most casual ensembles, but this luxe velvet style is anything but your average suit blazer.

Velvet tuxedo blazer, Coldwater Creek, $130, coldwatercreek.com.

03
Fancy Pants

Take your black work trousers to the next level in a sleek tuxedo style that will transition from your work party to the after party. 

Tuxedo pants, Anne Klein, $109, lordandtaylor.com.

04
Brilliant Brocade

These gilded brocade ankle boots can add a luxe touch to even the simplest office LBD.

Brocade ankle boot, Oscar de la Renta, $995, netaporter.com.

05
Black & White Affair

This dress is the perfect two-for-one. It gives the illusion of chic work wear separates but it’s really one fab colorblocked dress.

Chiffon combo dress, Mango, $70, mango.com.

06
Chandelier Chic

Chandelier earrings add a glam factor to almost anything.

Beaded earrings, H&M, $10, hm.com.

07
Bedazzled Boots

These overly-embellished ankle boots are fab enough to stand on their own.

Embellished boots, Topshop, $240, topshop.com.

08
Party Piece

Keeping your dress politically correct is a must. Opt for this satin tulip style that steers clear from hugging the body too much, leaving ample wiggle room to dance.

“Opium” dress, All Saints, $275, allsaints.com.

09
The Golden Age

Up the ante on your cozy cable knit with a metallic coated version.

Metallic coated cable knit sweater, MICHAEL Michael Kors, $150, netaporter.com.

10
Pencil Perfection

A pencil skirt is the basic building block to the work wardrobe, but this leather oxblood style adds a bit of kick to that classic silhouette.

Leather skirt, H&M, $129, hm.com.

11
Plaid Party

Traditional tartan plaid will instantly give your look the holiday spirit it needs.

Tartan pumps, Christian Louboutin, $845, netaporter.com.

12
Jeanius

Here’s how to manuever the “casual Friday” policy, any day –– coating denim in a royal brocade pattern.

Foil print brocade jeans, 7 For All Mankind, $198, 7forallmankind.com.

13
Metallic Motion

Comfort is key when you’re standing and chatting it up with co-workers. Replace your high heels with an equally fab pair of flats at the end of the night.

“Skylar” oxford, Cole Haan, $248, colehaan.com.

14
Precious Metals

Ditch your computer bag for this metallic satchel.

“Pashli” satchel, 3.1 Phillip Lim, $895, barneys.com.

15
Sweet Sequins

Spruce up your shift style dress in one that’s tastefully beaded and sequin embellished.

Geo beading dress, French Connection, $398, frenchconnection.com.
