You can't go wrong with the classic little black dress that makes you feel like a million bucks. To make it a little more special, choose one with details like sheer sleeves. We love this Zara Contrast Dress ($69.90) with sheer, puffy sleeves.

Complete the look with black heels and you're party ready!

For a more glamorous yet modern look, try a two-piece power suit in a luxe material like satin. You can keep it casual during office hours wearing the trousers and a white top and throw on the matching blazer for the evening party.

Go with this ASOS DESIGN Oxblood Suit Blazer ($92.64) and Trousers ($59.29) in textured satin or this ASOS DESIGN Blush Suit Blazer ($64.84) and Trousers ($33.35).

#3 Leather skirt or trousers

Besides satin and leather, velvet is also a fancy-looking fabric that can still look professional. Whether it's a dress or separates, velvet pieces are a chic option that also feels very festive for the Christmas holiday!

If your work party is a little fancier, go for a clothing item that's a little more sparkly than your usual outfit. Pick something that has a traditional officewear silhouette and avoid thin materials for a professional look that's still fun.

Some of our top picks are the ASOS DESIGN Sequin Slouchy Shift Dress ($125.98) and TOPSHOP Ombre Sequin Wrap Dress ($129.00).

#6 Accessorise your work outfit

If the other options are too much for your taste, you can still incorporate some fun to your look in a more subtle way. Jazz up your usual office attire with accessories like glittery heels and statement jewellery.
