Christmas party festive
Posted by Maureen Crawford Hentz at 3:21 PM

Many of my regular readers have asked me to talk about work fashion, and that's a great topic for the new year. Right now, however, we are in a season even more fraught with peril: the holiday party season.

Slice, a Canadian style site, has a great article on how to determine what to wear to your office festivities. By finding your office environment in the list (Every Day is Casual Friday; Style Central; Totally Buttoned Up) and matching it to your holiday party type, no one can possibly go wrong.

Advice for the Totally Buttoned Up dinner and drinks party:

The bosses will stay at the office until party time and will show up in their regular boring stuff. The minions, however, might rush home to change into something more festive. A knee-length shift dress, perhaps? This all sounds very boring but, rest assured, the Totally Buttoned Up holiday party is the best of all because once those super-professional drones have dipped into their drink ticket supply, all hell will break loose. Don’t worry so much about what to wear as who to avoid. You don’t want to get stuck in the corner with that creepy guy from Accounting who broke the rules and wore his mistletoe crown.

Fabulous advice. Now, if we can all just bring an end to the holiday sweaters and headbands in the office...
