The Holiday Party Series - Part 1: How To Dress For The Work/Office Holiday Party

About this video

Weston provides styling guidance for office holiday parties, demonstrating both formal and casual outfit options. She emphasizes proper suit fit as the foundation, teaches how to layer appropriately for comfort, and shows how to accessorize strategically for different party formality levels.

Key takeaways

• Weston argues that suit jacket fit is critical: shoulders should align smoothly with your own, the chest should fit close to the body without excess fabric, and shirt sleeves should show approximately 1/4 inch at the cuff
• Weston recommends choosing lighter-weight fabrics like cotton or silk blends for layering at parties to stay cool and comfortable rather than heavy materials like wool or cashmere
• Weston suggests a formal office party look includes a light blue dress shirt, charcoal silk knit tie, navy suit, pocket square, and black leather accessories, while an informal party can omit the tie and add a light sweater layer
