(Appropriate) Holiday Event Wear
Wih the holiday season comes many festive get-togethers. The most common being the office holiday party and the family Christmas. Just like most other events, these, too, have certain fashion do’s and fashion don’ts. Here are some brief tips to look great and not be a fashion faux pas:
The Office Holiday Party
For an office party, first consult your invitation when deciding what to wear. Is the event casual? Black tie? Novelty-themed? Follow what the invite says. If there is no dress guidance listed, it is best to error on the side of too dressy rather than too casual. There’s nothing more tacky-looking than showing up in jeans and an applique holiday sweater when every other party attendee is in a tux or taffeta. Also, remember that though a party is a time for fun, this is still an office and your bosses are still watching you. Keep your attire modest and save the club wear for, well, the club.

The Family Christmas
Whether you’re attending your own family Christmas or your significant other’s, you can do right by your fashion choices and you can do wrong. Just like the office party, dress on the conservative side. You don’t want your grandma (or his) whispering about how revealing that slip-of-a-dress is. Rather, match the season. It’s cold out so dress “warmly.” You can still wear a dress, but make sure it’s constructed out of heavier, more luxurious winter-worthy fabrics and doesn’t have the skimpy traits of a summer dress. J. Crew has some good options this season. It’s also a smart idea to dress in layers, so whether you’re breaking a sweat running after the kids or out in the elements singing Christmas carols, you’ll be prepared.
