What Should I Wear to a Christmas Party?
Christmas party attire is holiday-themed clothing for social events, such as family gatherings, office parties, or formal events. It can vary depending on the type of party and the dress code specified by the host or hostess.
Generally, Christmas party attire can range from festive and casual to more formal and elegant. This year, rich textured clothing items like velvet, sequins, tweed, and tulle are widely popular.
You can pair some leggings with an oversized sweater or jeans with a comfy hoodie for a casual affair.
Contrarily, a dark-colored colored, flowy, or tight dress will work as long as you go for a bold look in the night. Do some smokey eyes along with it, and slip on the highest pair of heels you own for the perfect night-out appearance!

Styling Tips
Christmas only comes once a year, so make it count by dressing up in your best and brightest and creating a stunning, coordinated look for all your upcoming holiday parties!
- First, you need to find out when a party is taking place. This is vital information because not all outfits go well when worn at night time and vice versa for day time.
- Once you know the party time, think about your budget. Look for designer outfits at stores if you can afford expensive attire. And if you’re on a tighter budget, keep track of the yearly Christmas sales and try to get the best deals.
- Wear darker, sparkly, glittery outfits at night while keeping warm-toned or pastel ones for daytime.
- You do not have to strictly stick to green and red for Christmas parties unless there is a theme. You can also wear a black and white dress with a scarf.
- It is not usually too cold during the daytime, so you can go for the lighter fabrics and heavier ones at night since that is when the cold hits. If the party is outdoors, it is best to overestimate the cold rather than underestimate it.
- Stock up on long coats! They save the day at every cost. Style your dress with a long coat if you don’t have warm outfits.
- Looks with mufflers are super festive! Make sure you buy a generic green and red muffler so that even if you do not have a dress that follows the theme, you can still top it off with a muffler that does.

Turtlenecks are the staple look for winters in recent years, but festive turtlenecks have their vibe. This look is exclusively for parties where you can dress up in any colors that extend till late at night, hence the warm attire.
25 – All Black Can Never Go Wrong
The one-shoulder top adds a touch of glamour and sophistication, while the black pants keep the overall look grounded and sleek. The brown overcoat provides a warm and cozy layer for colder weather and adds a pop of color.
These pieces create a balanced and stylish ensemble for various events, from a night out with friends to a more formal occasion.

22 – Play in Pastels This Holiday Season!
Change it up a bit this year, and instead of sticking to dresses, upgrade your style by a notch.
Grab a sweater vest and slip it onto a white button-down. Now, the trick here is to go soft on the colors but hard on the look, so get your hands on peach-colored wide-legged pants to go with the rest of the outfit. You will be stealing compliments all night.
21 – Three Unique Outfits for Christmas Parties
Heels are mostly preferred over flats for such special occasions. Wear flats if you plan on going to a party that lasts until midnight or if you are hosting and there is some dancing. But if you plan to stay for a short time, go for heels.
Match this simple yet stunning outfit with some gold jewelry and nail polish that is either nude or dark since both color ranges complement red.

Many women consider sweaters ugly presents that are inappropriate for party wear. Try putting them to good use this year by rocking them at a party.

17 – Matching Family Outfit for the Holiday Card!
It’s always a good idea to dress together, and it helps you get the cutest Insta-worthy photographs.
