Casual Dinner Looks -
Are you one of those who is a sucker for house parties? A private location, close friends, barbeque, good music and champagne…are you up for it? Welcome to adulthood!
Assuming you are a guest and not the host, the ideal dress code for men for such a setting would be to wear a turtleneck and top it with a casual cardigan/sports coat. Wear jeans and sneakers to look put together.
Ladies, go ahead and wear your lacy tops with jeans. Accessorize with statement earrings and a sequins clutch to finish the look. Lace is a super glam piece that dresses up even the most casual look, or if you prefer wear it with corduroy or white legged pants and sparkly flats for a festive holiday look!
PRO TIP - Keep the Turtlenecks and Lacy tops bright while you keep the Cardigan/Sports coat neutral. Refer 2018/19 color palette for better understanding of which colors you must go for in this season.
Formal Dinner Looks -
When attending a formal dinner, dress code is extremely important.
The ideal dress code for men includes a well fitted blazer or dinner jacket, a double-cuffed shirt with a turn down collar for that crisp look. Wear sleek, slim fitted pants and oxford shoes to look dapper. Add statement accessories like a bow tie to add that extra oomph!
For women, glam up in an elegant floor length evening gown that shows off your silhouette. Pair it with stilettos or pumps. Or if you’re feeling confident enough, you can even opt for a fitted tux or pant suit — girl boss kinda look. To add a fun element to the tux you can go for kitten heels.

Hitting the Club Looks -

Also, you can go for patterned shirt with trousers look. Wear a long over coat and a muffler to add warmth. Blue and dark gray are good alternatives to black denims.
Women, you can wear a satin blouse and leather black pants or a nice feminine top with a metallic pleated skirt. Add a blazer to beat the winters. Choose something that fits you and shows off your silhouette. A simple clutch in a suitable color will go a long way. Avoid wearing a necklace and instead go for drop earrings as accessories. Heels of any kind will work with although the pointy pumps will be most comfortable for dancing.
Holiday Season Brunch Looks -

Women can opt for a fitted jewel tone blouse or ruffle top with a paper bag waisted pants with kitten heels in a color that corresponds with your dress. A small handbag, or preferably a day clutch will work best to complete the outfit. Accessorize, or don’t, ‘cus the holiday brunch is all about looking effortless without trying too hard.

From velvet jackets to bold-shouldered party dresses, you can play along and try some really colorful combinations because in the end it is about holiday season. You can totally dress up your work wardrobe a bit for Christmas.
Men, you can go for a simple navy two piece suit, add a nice bright tie or a printed shirt. Or if you still want to tone it down a bit more, get rid of the blazer and swap it for a sports coat. Throw in bright color socks and neck scarves. Try balancing the more formal aspects of your look with some more relaxed pieces like a pair of cropped pants.
