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. Cold weather is about layers you can shed indoors: a knit under an overcoat does more for warmth and polish than one thicker piece. The women's read of this day is usually one considered piece with quieter support around it, rather than several competing ideas.
- One festive piece only; keep the rest of the outfit serious.
- The innermost layer is the one people see; make it a good one.
- Choose one deliberate detail, a colour, a texture or a print, and keep the rest plain.
