Christmas party outfit one - The office party

You'll want to keep things a little reserved but still make an effort when you head out with your colleagues. What you wear depends on the venue, a ball style event definitely calls for a tux or a longer length dress but if it's your usual meal and drinks style gig here's some inspiration.

Office Christmas party outfit for men

A jazzyshirtand jeans combo is a failsafe option for the work Christmas party - add chunky boots instead of your usual boat shoes for comfort and your own twist on the look. Navy leather creates a streamlined look but throw in a brown belt and matching leather strap watch for a sophisticated touch.

Blue hues and a sharp collar keep things smart but you can still have fun with prints. A floral pattern is a daring take on your classic shirt for a formal event. If you really want to kick things up a notch add a bow tie.

Rust colours and gold hues look incredible on the dancefloor - plus you'll stand out from your colleagues who'll likely opt for blacks and reds. Pair with heeled anklebootsto tap into those country inspired trends.

Full on sequins or a shimmery material in a bodycondressis a good choice. Choose a long-sleeved style to keep things modest around the boss but leave legs bare. Finish with an oversized jacket to keep the cold out when waiting for a taxi home - pick a colour that matches your main look but that you can wear all season.

Christmas party outfit two - Christmas Eve drinks

Dress for wherever the night may take you to celebrate the gift unwrapping and day spent with loved ones that's soon to come. A drink at your local can quickly turn into a night out in town - just be sure to stay hydrated so you can actually enjoy that roast dinner your family cooks the next day. Christmas Eve should definitely be all about the glitz and glam so here's some outfit inspiration to get you started.

Ajacketfeaturing sharp lines and a tailored fit is your go-to for Christmas Eve. Paired with a cable knitjumper, you have a festive ensemble to see you through the night. Even if you roll into your parent's in the early hours of the morning, you can keep this outfit on and act like nothing's happened.

A cream jumper looks good wherever you end up, pair with dark jeans and boots to get past the bouncers.

Christmas Eve outfit for women

Christmas Eve is a time to celebrate - which means you should definitely embrace all things sequin. Black sequins on a minidressare sexy for the dancefloor but paired with a leather jacket and ankle boots you'll still be good for the bar beforehand.

Leave hair wavy and loose but have fun with make-up - a smoky eye and a nude lip make for a sultry look to deck the halls with. Look for a leather jacket that contrasts with your dress choice - a strong collar and sharp shoulders in a slightly oversized fit looks like you've thrown on your boyfriend's coat. Add some fun novelty ears, like reindeer antlers - but don't expect to finish the night with them - and you're good to go.

Tie hair back in a loose ponytail and work a red lip and basic eye make up for a low key vibe. At the end of the night, pull on a thickdown jacketwith an oversized faux fur hood - ideal for that Christmas Day walk after dinner too.

A long sleeved, slim fit polo shirt pairs well with comfy jeans and boots for an outfit the looks good but doesn't appear try-hard. Look for a polo that fits close to the body to show off all the hard work you've done at the gym and a collar that isn't too structured.

A bomber jacket is the perfect lightweight outerwear to throw on before dashing to the car. Pair with a matching scarf and glove combo and finish with hiking style boots.

A shirt dress is comfy, good looking and perfect for whatever type of family event you've got planned. Look for embroidered shoulders or pockets to tap into that country trend and team with tights and fur-lined boots for a cosy finish.
