14 Pieces That’ll Take You Straight From Work to a Holiday Party
Or, how to stop lugging around a garment bag.
Your Google Calendar gets more action during November and December than any other time of the year. Dinners, spirited gatherings, and holiday parties are scheduled multiple days a week, and while that's certainly not a bad thing, it can feel burdensome on your wardrobe. After all, working all day and then heading straight to a twinkly-lit cocktail hour can be annoying to prep for.
The solution? Investing in pieces that straddle the line between festive and work-appropriate. Ahead, shop 14 stylish items worth cheers'ing to (and in) this season.
If you like heels, then a pair of crystal-bedecked beauties should be in your rotation. Wear to work with a chunky knit and trousers and swap in a silky skirt for the party portion.
Even if you don't have time to change your full outfit, the addition of a bejeweled hair clip will make you feel instantly ready for a holiday party.
#BigMood colors are an easy way to get in the spirit of the holidays but also stay professional. This season, try an a-line dress in a radiant shade of red.
A sleek black bag with a unique embellishment—like fringe—will take you far this November and December. Sling this Western-inspired purse over an embroidered dress for a festive duo.
An interesting belt transforms the vibe of your outfit from plain to put-together. Wrap a braided version around a boxy blazer or dress for your next post-work dinner or drinks.
Yes, you can wear flats to a party—just go for a pair that feels playful, like these bright pink bow-embellished slides.
There's something instantly alluring about the texture of a silk slip skirt, which makes it the ideal piece to wear from work to party. Layer a Fair Isle sweater on top and your favorite kitten heels below.
Instead of glitter, reach for a bag with bold hardware to give your outfit a bit of sparkle or shine.
When in doubt, a statement earring will always get the job done. Plus, the asymmetrical colors feel unexpected and unique.
While not as statement-making as an animal-print dress or studded handbag, a timeless watch will always make you look polished. It'll also help you get out of the office and on your way to a glass of bubbly on time.
The holiday season is all about celebratory textures like sequins, feathers, and so on. Ipso facto, you should probably get a velvet blazer.
A tailored layer like a wintery white jacket pairs with everything from silky dresses to jeans and heels. Wear now, wear often.
Hopping from the office to a holiday party requires pieces that work in both environments, like fun socks. Wear yours with strappy sandals or some Penny loafers.
Calvin Klein Animal Print Belted A-Line High-Low Midi Dress
Versatility is the name of the game come holiday party season, which is why a printed midi dress should be hanging in your closet. The bold piece translates seamlessly from office to any type of after-work fête.
