BeltBurgundy Midi Dress, Stone Trench, Rose Ballet Flat, Chocolate Leather Tote, Brown Leather Belt. A smart combination for office holiday party in temperate weather, with the lightest colour sitting closest to your face.
The office party is the one night you can push a little. Keep the base smart and let one festive piece, a texture or a deep colour, do the celebrating. Mild weather is forgiving: a light layer that comes on and off is usually all you need. Read the room before you read your wardrobe: the same day can want a sharper or a softer answer depending on who you are seeing, and the middle is usually the safer place to land.
- One festive piece only; keep the rest of the outfit serious.
- Carry a layer for the evening drop.
- Pick the palette before the pieces. Two neutrals and one accent rarely fails.
