What to wear to a work Christmas party

Work Christmas parties call for a balance of polish and personality - think smart, festive and just the right amount of sparkle.

Opt for tailored trousers paired with a silky blouse or sequin top for a look that’s both chic and comfortable. A midi dress with a subtle shimmer is another great choice - add a structured blazer or elegant wrap to keep things professional while still feeling party-ready.

When it comes to footwear, swap your office shoes for embellished flats or block heels to instantly elevate your look. And don’t shy away from colour - jewel tones, metallic accents, and soft sparkle add a festive touch without being over the top.

What to wear to casual Christmas gatherings & family parties

For relaxed festive get-togethers, comfort is key - but that doesn’t mean compromising on style.

Knit dresses, festive jumpers, and chic wide-leg trousers strike the perfect balance between cosy and put-together. If you’re feeling a little more playful, try an embellished midi skirt or velvet trousers - they pair beautifully with a soft knit or satin blouse.

Layer up for warmth with a cardigan or longline coat and finish the look with ankle boots or heeled loafers for comfort that lasts all day. A sparkly belt or statement earrings can instantly transform even the simplest outfit into something special.

These Christmas outfit ideas for midlife women are perfect for balancing comfort and confidence during family celebrations.

What to wear to a festive night out

Heading out for dinner, cocktails, or a big festive celebration? Now’s the time to dial up the glamour.

A velvet or sequin cocktail dress in rich jewel tones never fails to impress, while a sleek jumpsuit with statement jewellery offers a modern, sophisticated twist. For something a little different, try pairing a satin or sequin skirt with a luxurious blouse for a stylish mix of texture and shine.

Complete your look with strappy heels, a metallic clutch, or bold jewellery to add that final festive flourish.

Whether you’re going out with friends or dressing up for date night, these Christmas night-out outfit ideas make it easy to look and feel amazing.

Christmas party accessories & finishing touches

No festive outfit is complete without those final, eye-catching details.

Make a statement with chandelier earrings or layered necklaces and reach for a metallic or embellished handbag to add just the right amount of sparkle. Belts are a simple yet effective way to refresh classic pieces and define your silhouette too.

And for outerwear? Choose something that feels as special as what’s underneath - a faux fur coat, velvet jacket or chic wrap will keep you warm while looking effortlessly glamorous.
