For Day or Night: Sweater Dresses

A sweater dress is a perfect combination of comfortable and classy, making it appropriate for all party scenes. Wear it for a daytime office Secret Santa swap or a dinner party with friends. Here are a few fun ways to style a sweater dress for the Christmas season: 

1. Belted with Boots and Tights: A flattering look that keeps you warm and stylish. Add your favorite festive Christmas jewelry to elevate your look. 
2. With a Blazer and Heels: Cozy and chic? Yes, please! This sophisticated look is perfect for business-casual events and office parties. Top it off with some minimalist accessories for a perfectly curated outfit.
3. Decked Out with Christmas Accessories: Pair a solid-color sweater dress with eye-catching Christmas-themed earrings, necklaces, and charm bracelets. If jewelry isn’t your thing, a headband, belt, or purse with Christmas trees, snowmen, or reindeer will add festive details to your holiday ensemble. 

For the Office Christmas Party: Knit Skirts

Whether your work party is during work hours or after, knit skirts are cute and comfortable. Check out these classy Christmas outfit ideas: 

1. Tucked In Turtleneck: A long cable knit gray skirt with a tucked-in turtleneck of any color will keep you warm all day and night.
2. Red and White Ensemble: Pair red and white pieces together for Santa-inspired work Christmas party outfits. For example, wear a red calf-length skirt with a white blouse and black kitten heels.  
3. Cable Knit Skirt and Scarf Combo: Try a black knee-length cable knit skirt with a button-down and a chunky cable knit scarf for a warm, cozy, and seasonal office Christmas party outfit.   

For a Little Extra Flair: Extra Festive Dresses

Whether you’re hitting the town, hosting a Christmas costume party, or just want to spice up your party look, go all out with these extra festive holiday party dresses!

1. Red Sparkly Cocktail Dress: It’s time to wear your shimmery earrings and heels with satin bow ties. You’re sure to stand out in this showstopping look!
2. Nordic Style: Usher in Yuletide with a traditional Nordic-style sweater dress with fleece-lined leggings and faux fur boots. It’s the perfect outfit to wear while sipping cocoa, eggnog, or mulled wine.
3. Go Full Mrs. Claus: Rock a long-sleeved dress with a Christmas scene, such as a gingerbread house. Or, go classic Mrs. Claus in a red velvet dress with fluffy white trim to match Santa’s suit! For the ultimate Christmas ensemble, elf-style pointy shoes with bells on the toes just may earn you a placement in a Christmas costume contest.

For Festive Men: Wildly Jolly Men’s Christmas Outfits

Fellas, need some holiday style suggestions? Claim your crown as the King of Christmas Spirit by wearing any of the following:

1.  A Patterned Suit: Suits patterned with Christmas designs are perfect as a casual work Christmas party outfit.
2.  Christmas Ties (Or Bowties!): Christmas-themed ties or bowties are the ideal solutions for what to wear to a work Christmas party if you’re looking for something a bit more understated than a patterned suit.
3.  A Cartoon T-shirt or Sweater: A shirt or sweater with a Christmas symbol or character, like snowflakes or reindeer, is always fun to wear. Plus, it’s easy to match with the whole family for a coordinated and casual Christmas party outfit.
4.  BONUS: A Santa Suit! Every Christmas party needs an appearance by the Man in Red himself. Don’t forget the snowy white beard! 

For Moms-to-Be: Christmas Maternity Outfits

Because moms-to-be like to party, too! 

1.  A Long-Sleeved Form-Fitting Dress: A festive way to call attention to your baby bump is with a fun t-shirt, like “Baby’s First Christmas” or “Mama Elf”! 
2.  A Seasonal T-shirt: Stay comfortable with a festive T-shirt (perhaps with holly or bells). Pair with jeans and a red, white, or green scarf to stay warm. 
3.  A Long-Sleeved Blouse: You’ll look like an adorable present when wearing a blouse that has a bow that rests above the baby bump. Wear with fuzzy, cozy boots and party on!
