Usually during the holidays or towards the end or beginning of each season, your employer sends out an email for a work party.

You’ve read the email and if you’re like me, all you’re thinking is, “What do I wear to this winter work party?” or “What is deemed appropriate to wear to a work party?” No need to freak out as we have tips and outfits on how to look both appropriate and gorgeous at your winter work party.

Yes, it is totally appropriate to wear a dress to a work party! Obviously, since you’re still in a professional environment, we don’t recommend wearing anything too revealing. If you would wear it to the club or the bar, then you shouldn’t wear it to a work party.

However, if you want to wear a dress with a semi-low v-neck, that is completely fine. (If it’s too much cleavage, you can always wear a cami underneath.) It’s fine if your dress is a couple inches above your knees just as long as it’s not too short. A dress like this is perfectly acceptable to wear. 

Accessorize your outfit with jewelry. The ones listed above are a gorgeous layered necklace, earrings, and bracelets, but you can pick and choose depending on your aesthetic.

Since it’s winter, you’ll probably want to go for tights. Simple black ones work great, or you could go bare legged if you know you won’t be outdoors for long. As for your shoes, pumps are a great essential for any outfit, and they’re great for work parties.

You’ll most likely have a section at the location for you to put your winter coat and purse away. For when you are outside, say waiting for your ride or just needed a fresh of breath air, make sure your coat is thick enough to keep you warm. As for your purse, it is not recommended to bring a big purse with you so a small crossbody will suffice.
