Work Christmas Party Outfit Australia
Now you may have a work christmas party coming up, which sounds exciting and all but you are freaking out because you have no idea what to wear! Should you wear work clothes? Formal clothes? Casual clothes? Let's unpack the dress code.
Keeping it Professional
Dress according to the occasion and present yourself in a professional manner as you would at work. This does not mean that you have to wear your work clothes, but still maintain a professional look.
We recommend steering away from mini skirts/dresses, dresses with large cutouts or midriffs, and nothing that has too low of a neckline. This doesn't mean you can't experiment with colour and bold prints though, so have fun with it.
Dress According to the Weather
With Christmas being during the hot summer season in Australia, you will most likely be spending your celebrations in the Australian heat. Keep this in mind as you choose an outfit - opt for an airy and free flowing outfit that is breathable, and ditch the long sleeves as you do not want to break a sweat in front of your colleagues.
