As we steadily approach Christmas, party prep is in full swing. Deciding what to wear every year can be such a task. But, that’s half the fun of it! Christmas parties are your stage to be as glamorous or as silly as possible! Depending on the theme of the party, of course.
Not everyone is into red, white and Christmas green as a theme, so you have to be prepared for all possibilities. While thinking of a Christmas outfit for party, remember you have to be comfortable and also chic.
10 Stunning Christmas Party Dress Ideas That You Can Take Inspiration From:
1. Little Black Dress
A little black dress is a classic Christmas party dress idea! If you’re in a warmer part of the country, you can wear the dress as is and pair it with simple black pumps and silver jewellery. Alternatively, if you’re somewhere colder, pair it with some woollen leggings and black boots to get a chic look.
If your LBD is workplace appropriate, it can also go into your list of office Christmas party outfit ideas.
2. Shirt-Trouser Ensemble
One of our favourite casual christmas outfit ideas. For a get-together at home where comfort is paramount, put on some wide-legged jeans and a red turtleneck for a mix of festive and casual. For a more formal look, you can pair the red sweater with black or white trousers.
3. Metallic Dress
Heading to a glitzy evening party? Try out a metallic dress! Copper and silver never go out of style, and in a dress with a metallic finish, you’ll be shiny but not gaudy. Always remember that if your dress is the star of the show, make your accessories subtle and small.
4. Mini Dress
Always a winner, you can wear a mini dress for every occasion. Get a bright, festive dress and pair it up with knee high boots or simple pumps. If you decide to wear pumps, add in a cute little anklet to finish your look with a little bit of shine.
5. Maxi Dress
There are so many types of maxi dresses, you’ll be spoilt for choice! A must have in your list of Christmas party dress ideas. You can go super casual, with a solid-coloured maxi dress and accessorise with a chain, dangly earrings and one finger ring. Or, you can be a little bolder and wear a maxi dress with a slit down the thigh, and accessorise with sparkly jewellery.
If neither of these are to your taste, you can also consider a fully printed maxi dress or a multi-coloured one.
6. A-Line Skirt
An easy, chic, comfortable outfit idea. Finding a skirt that fits you well might be hard, but when you do, boy does it look fantastic! An A-line skirt is the perfect choice for a formal party, or an evening celebration. You can pair it with a round neck t-shirt, a turtleneck or a button-down, depending on the occasion. Here’s a tip – always wear solid colour pumps with an A-Line skirt.
7. Ruffle Skirt
A bit of a summery look, but so flowy and pretty! You will definitely stand out if you wear a ruffle skirt to a Christmas party. Wear it with a nice crop top or sleeveless shirt for a more formal occasion, and a simple t-shirt for a casual event. To give yourself a few more styling points, put on a pair of white sneakers to complete the look.
8. Blazer and Trousers
A great way to look formal, yet party-appropriate! Blazers in funky colours are in, and what better way to end the year? We recommend red, green and pastel blazers with matching trousers as your go-to office Christmas party outfit ideas.
9. Jumpsuit
Not into dresses? We have a great option for your roster of Christmas outfit ideas! A jumpsuit can be pretty casual, but if the colour and accessories are right, you have the perfect party outfit! Go for jumpsuits that are solid colours, full length and well-fitted for the party season. The fun part about jumpsuits is that you can wear any type of footwear and still look fantastic!
10. Co-ord Set
It’s the year of co-ord sets and your upcoming party should not be an exception! A set with pants, skirt, shorts or even a dress with a jacket, the possibilities are endless! You can even mix and match and create a co-ord set of your own! Remember to pair it with some matching jewellery, and you’re good to go!
6 Styling Tips To Make Your Christmas Party Outfit Pop
Here’s how you can take your Christmas outfit ideas one step further:
- Have an elaborate hairstyle. Try straightening or curling your hair. If you’re feeling extra adventurous, get a new haircut!
- If your clothing is simple, go the extra mile with your shoes and accessories.
- A shiny purse can make any boring outfit fashionable.
- If you’re wearing big earrings, avoid necklaces. If you have a big necklace, go for studs or smaller earrings.
- Wear comfortable shoes. High heels look fantastic, but the party won’t be any fun if you’re in pain.
- A funny thing to add to your Christmas outfit for party ideas list, is carrying a reindeer headband everywhere you go. It’s a crowd pleaser!
