You must be excited to attend office parties that’s lining up this year. Although it’s tempting to break out your wardrobe’s most showy, sparkly pieces to don at this year’s office parties – it’s important to remember to maintain a certain level of professionalism in the presence of your coworkers and supervisors. That doesn’t necessarily mean you need to be confined to button down shirts and opaque tights this season. Take a look below for a few tips from the stars about how NOT to dress – and you’ll be festive and appropriate as long as you steer clear of these risque looks!
Modern Family’s favorite bombshell Sophia Vergara has been spotted on every red carpet from New York City to Los Angeles, thanks to the booming success of her series. Like her character on ABC, she always looks beautiful and sexy in super tight, super low-cut dresses and tops. This look works for her not only because she has the right figure, but also because she’s not gunning for that big promotion or a corner office in the near future. Remember to keep cleavage and super short skirts put away for the office party, and instead channel your inner businesswoman savvy instead of sexy siren for your colleagues.
As much as the fashion industry adores the likes of Katy Perry, Lily Allen and Lady Gaga for their colorful, outrageous fashion risks, the office party is not the time to try out your latest neon tube top or metallic makeup – even if you do think it’s holiday-appropriate. Remember to keep colors neutral and flattering – and try to keep the Christmas kitsch to a minimum when rubbing elbows with your potential new boss. Keep your clothes confident and professional – and your alcoholic drinks to no more than two – and you’ll be able to really work the room at your office party!
