Your annual office holiday party is a chance to socialize with coworkers and maybe snag a free cocktail or two. But even though it’s after hours, you should still maintain the same professionalism that dictates your 9-to-5 wardrobe. When you’re choosing your party dress, add some extra flair with luxe fabrics and sparkly details, but stick to silhouettes and styles that leave a little more to the imagination—now’s not the time to get on Santa’s naughty list.
