How to Dress Properly for A Christmas Party

A big part of the fun of Christmas parties is in dressing up and preparing for it. What you wear, however, can have a big impact on how you are perceived by others and, ultimately, on how comfortable you feel at the party. Read on to learn how to dress for a Christmas party.

Find out in advance if there is a dress code for the party. If the Christmas party is being held in a restaurant, theater or rented space, the organizers can probably tell you what they expect the atmosphere to be. Even just a general idea, such as casual attire, black tie or formal will guide you in your selection of clothes.

Dress casual unless you have an indication that the Christmas party will be formal. Casual, however, does not mean jeans and a white T-shirt. Instead, pair the jeans with a nice blouse or a pastel shirt and a pair of boots or sandals.

Wear something red or gold, the traditional colors of Christmas. Avoid holiday sweaters or anything overly Christmas related. Instead, wear an elegant accessory such as a shawl or jewelry in the right colors.
