Christmas Party Dresses | What To Wear To Your Work Holiday Party

By Emily Weatherill

When you think of the festive season, your mind might race to bauble-decorated Christmas trees, glimmering tinsel garlands, or boxes of Roses chocolates. But there’s one event that marks the time of year with a (typically) booze-filled bang: the office Christmas party. That’s right, it’s the evening when you and your co-workers switch the boardroom attire for glittering gowns and three-piece suits for a little bit of ho ho ho cheer – and it’s creeping up on us again! So, this is your reminder to get those Christmas party dresses ordered and save any last-minute outfit stress.

Office Party Dresses

When it comes to picking something to wear to your office party, it’s important to consider comfort (especially if the night is long) and aesthetic. Something a little more chic is probably a better option than something loud.

Texture

Nothing screams work Christmas party quite like the Lana Pleated Dress. This intricate lace design is detailed with floral lace over a figure-shaping mini layer for a semi-sheer finish. It’s trimmed with long sleeves and cut to a flared, A-line skirt for a flattering finish with box pleats for added fullness.

Mesh is another great way to play with texture. Take our Storm Dress, for example, its cotton-rich velvet bodice is topped by a mesh panel at the chest for an elevated take on the classic crew-neck bodycon. It’s a beautiful style to slip into this holiday season.

Burgundy & Red

Red and burgundy coloured designs are ideal for Christmas festivities – the hues feel synonymous with mulled wine and frosty cheer. Try pieces like our Sienna Dress for that burst of rouge. Its knitted texture and ribbed finish also bring a cosy feel to your corporate cheer.

A red floral print is the ultimate combo; not only does it bring the elevated chic of rouge, but it also carries the delicate touch of florals. So, you can see why our Maggie Wrap Dress is an instant winner when it comes to occasion dressing. Its bold print is layered over a body-cinching, long-sleeved cut with a plunging V-neckline and calf-skimming, breezy skirt.

Ruching

A more understated detail to play with in your Christmas party dresses is ruching. The twisted texture adds a three-dimensional accent to elevate even the most simple of silhouettes. We adore styles like our Bailey Knot Dress, which features a twisted knot at the waist for a cinched finish.

Opt for high-impact ruching with styles like the Paloma Ruched Dress. This statement design features ruching around the waist and back for an enhanced bodice with gentle ruching at the shoulders for a puffed look that creates a silhouette worthy of any office party best-dressed award.

Sparkle

No Christmas party is complete without a little sparkle. The Amelia Wrap Dress features plenty of glitter and is handmade from a stretch jersey infused with metallic fibres. A waist tie and square neckline add impact, while the wrap-around skirt creates a party-enthused aesthetic.
