The festive party season is both a blessing and a curse. The former for a diary filled with nothing but seeing friends and making merry, the latter for the toll it takes on your sartorial creativity. Every new invitation requires a new ensemble and never is that more the case than a Christmas party you don’t have time to change for before it starts.


This requires Christmas party wear that is both suitable for a day at the office or running errands and a festive celebration come evening. Here we break down the Christmas party outfits that effortlessly take you from day to night.

SILVER BELLES

A star-topped tree has sprung up in reception and tinsel is merrily framing your computer screen. Christmas has officially arrived in the office, and after a couple of years of uncertainty, 2022 marks the moment offices around the country are confidently organising workplace festivities. Forget queuing up outside the toilet as everyone changes into something a little more festive (and a little less comfortable) with these style solutions.

Not too far removed from your usual office attire, these Christmas outfit ideas are formed from reinvented tailored classics, from shimmering blazers and trousers to soft shirting in luxurious fabrics. Pair black trousers with our Shimmer Sharp Tailored Blazer to instantly transform a Monday-Friday look. Layer it over our Cashmere Silk Barely There Cropped Tank styled under our Silk Longline Tux Shirt during the day and when the pop of a bottle being opened marks the moment celebrations start, style without the shirt for an elegant eveningwear look.

In the same shimmering finish as the blazer, our Metallic Tank Top can be tempered by the silk shirt during the day and teamed with more traditional tailoring fabrics for an easy AM-PM ensemble suited to festive celebrations.

This final look focuses the metallic, shimmering element of your outfitting on the bottom half of your look. Centring around our Metallic Ponte Wide-Leg Crop Trouser, it opts for a more classic, workdrobe staple at the top: our Statement Lace Swing Blouse + Cami.

PARTY ON TOP

Equally suited to office parties as it is to festive celebration with friends and family. Forgo packing a change of clothes in your bag in favour of simple silhouettes and classic pairings transformed by shimmering finishes and festive shades with these Christmas outfit ideas.

Tucked into our Forever Tux Flared Man Pant, our Metallic Balloon Sleeve Tee heroes a clean-cut round-neck silhouette framed by long sleeves that fall to fitted cuffs. Temper the shimmering threading with a soft, knitted vest to leave only the sleeves on display and remove your extra layers when you arrive at your final destination come evening. 

Our Gold Polka Dot Oversized Swing Blouse + Cami could also be styled with the same tailored trousers, or a simple Leather A-Line Mini Skirt that grounds the metallic detailing. 

DAY-TO-NIGHT DENIM

“Jeans and a nice top” might be a bit of a cliched answer but with these style solutions, the combination is contemporary and directional.

For daytime festivities - think a Christmas lunch with friends before everyone parts ways for the holidays - look to our Authentic Relaxed Jean in a faded-black wash achieved through a sustainable, water-free laser treatment styled below our Metallic Jersey Box Tee that instantly brings a sense of festivity. Introduce our Military Button Crop Jacket on top for more formal settings.

For a more elevated take on the staple, our High-Rise Subtle Kick-Flare Jean heroes a dark, saturated black shade that transforms the denim so that it appears more polished and akin to classic tailoring. With a black base, our Metallic Long Sleeve Tee is woven with gold-toned threading over the top to grant it covetable depth and dimension, perfecting Christmas fashion with a contemporary edge.

DASHING DRESSES

The simplest one-step solution to perfecting a festive look that takes you from AM-PM: Christmas party dresses. Finding the right one, though, is more of a challenge.

Look for classic, simple cuts accompanied by shimmering metallic threading or gold-toned patterns that strike a polished-pared-back balance. Our Metallic Fit and Flare Maxi Dress + Belt heroes a series of intelligent-design details alongside its metallic ponte tailoring: an adjustable neckline, practical pockets, and flattering dipped hem that creates the illusion of a longer leg. 

In a shorter silhouette, our Gold Polka Dot Swing Dress borrows its long-sleeved cut and relaxed ease of our swing blouse scattered with the same gold-toned polka dots but in a longer silhouette. Secure the necktie as a pussybow to add drama to your look or leave it tied loosely for a more casual approach. 

Team either with a shearling biker jacket to downplay the shimmering fabrics for a daytime look and transform your look with a pair of gold-toned heeled sandals.
