Work Christmas outfit ideas

Oh, it’s officially that festive time of year again! The date has been set, the venue has been confirmed… now all you have to do is pull an outfit together for your work’s Christmas party. So many Christmas parties this year will be taking place virtually, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get dressed up like you usually would! We’ve even got some exclusive stay-home Christmas party outfit ideas for 2020.

Now, we all know the feeling of frustratingly digging out your entire wardrobe just to find that one show-stopper look. I mean, who doesn’t relate to that scene from The Grinch where the furry creature struggles to decide what to wear for the Whoville Christmas festivities? This is why we at Arlo Wolf have compiled an exclusive guide dedicated to ideas for Christmas party attire. Continue reading for some seasonal inspiration! 

Glitter it up 

T’is the season to glitter and sparkle. A glittery outfit or shimmery dress would certainly be fitting for any Christmas party style – whether it be an office party, a virtual get-together or family celebration. On this note, why not go for the classic sequined blazer and complement the look with matching sequined trousers? When it comes to choosing the accessories to go with the outfit, we recommend going for a black clutch, as well as sporting standout shiny earnings. Oh, and speaking of our own glasses, why not complete this iconic look with a pair of our Apollo Carbon glasses in grey?

The colours of Christmas 

It is important to feel like you are dressed for the right occasion, so wearing the colours of Christmas to your work’s Christmas party is certainly a good idea. You can’t go wrong with a simple yet standout jumpsuit, so why not show up to the occasion wearing a red or white one? Also, have you got some matching red or white earrings? If yes, you’d be silly not to wear these to show off your look further. For guys, choosing to wear a classic red or white shirt with some black trousers is a wise choice for any Christmas party style. Whatever colour that you decide to go for, or if you simply opt to mix and match, complete this colourful Christmas look with a pair of our unisex Brook glasses in Clear Crystal. 

Jazz things up with a hipster look 

Stand out at the office party by sporting a classic hipster Christmas look. Think jazzy festive flares, fluffy oversized jumpers, and (of course) the signature Doc Martens. There is nothing like an outfit that conveys a bit of personality – so be you and go for it! When it comes to male hipster Christmas party looks, there are also many options to choose from. From Christmassy flannel shirts, corduroy trousers to denim jackets, be wild and experiment with what works. And, to finish off that iconic hipster look, sporting a pair of our Brooklyn glasses in gold would be a fantastic choice.

Formal and sophisticated 

A little bit of dressing up didn’t hurt anybody, so why not go all the way for your work’s Christmas party? Don’t hesitate, get out that beautiful below the knee black dress that’s been waiting to be on you all year. As we mentioned, you can’t go wrong with a good blazer, and such an item of clothing would complement your chic sophisticated dress extremely well. Speaking of chic and sophisticated, why not arrive at the Christmas party in a three-piece suit if you’re a male? Finish off this glamorous look with a pair of shiny cufflinks. If your work’s do is at a fancy event function, an outfit like this would be ideal. Our Carson glasses in Black, available for both men and women, would be the perfect addition to this extravagant look.

Cosy and casual for a virtual Christmas party

If your work Christmas party is going to be a virtual get-together (like many others this year), then you might be thinking of a cosy and casual vibe. Truth be told, the benefit of virtual Christmas parties is that you can wear pretty much whatever you like. We’re talking snug jumpers, bright Christmas sweaters or a chunky piece of knitwear! When it comes to accessories, why not finish off your outfit with a nice watch or a pair of our Miller glasses in black?
