Holiday Party Outfit Ideas: From the Office Party to the Big Night Out

Holiday party season is here, y'all, and the calendar is filling up fast. There's the office party, the friends' party, the one you're hosting and the big night out. The secret to doing them all? A few pieces that work hard, from your first meeting to your last toast. Here's how to dress for every holiday party on your list.

The Office Holiday Party

Start with the piece that does the most: the BC Tartan Blazer – Navy. It's a tailored, double-breasted blazer in navy tartan with polished gold BC buttons, and it makes everything you wear under it look festive. For the office, layer it over the Pearl Bow Top - Black, a soft ribbed-knit mock neck with a pearl bow at the shoulder, and our Black Coated Leggings, which have a matte leather look and a smooth, high-waisted fit. Polished at nine, party-ready by six. The Pearl Bow Top also comes in Red and Navy.

From Five O'Clock to the Party

Heading straight from work to the party? Keep the blazer and swap the leggings for the Tartan Tiered Maxi Skirt – Navy. Four flowing tiers of navy, red and green tartan make it the most twirl-worthy skirt of the season, and the zipper waistband keeps it polished. Add the Pearl Bow Earrings, pearl-strand bows with long trailing ribbons, and you've gone from desk to dance floor in under five minutes.

The Casual Get-Together

For the friendsgiving-turned-holiday hangout or the neighborhood cookie swap, cozy wins. The Merry Christmas Tartan Mock Neck Sweatshirt – Navy spells out MERRY in red and green tartan, and it's made to fit oversized. Wear it with jeans or our Emerald Green Leggings and boots, and add the Red Crystal & Gold Knocker Earrings for a pop of red.

Hosting at Home: Caftan Season

When the party's at your house, you want something gorgeous that still lets you breathe, cook and greet every guest. That's where a caftan shines. Each of ours is lined, has pockets and has that easy 1960s-70s feel.

  • The BC Caftan in Noire Rose has bronze roses on black, a ruffle neck and gold buttons. Classic and so elegant for a dinner party.
  • The BC Caftan in Moss & Blossom is a moss green, plum and pink blossom print with a stand collar, small fabric-covered buttons and puffed three-quarter sleeves.
  • The BC Caftan in Midnight Garden Sequin has jewel-toned floral sequins blooming across a sheer black caftan. It's the one that steals the show.

The Big Night Out

For the cocktail party, the gala or counting down to midnight on New Year's Eve, go all in on shine. Both of these new party dresses from our Holiday Part 2 drop are available on pre-order.

  • The Cheers Dress is a black sleeveless shift with a pearl-beaded high neckline and a sequin appliqué near the hem of two hands toasting with champagne flutes, finished with pearl bracelets.
  • The Silver Disco Ball Dress is covered in rows of shimmering silver paillettes from neckline to hem, with sheer puff sleeves. It catches the light with every step.

Finish either one with the Black Disco Velvet Bow Barrette and you're the best-dressed girl in the room.
