It’s that time of year when many of us, myself included, are attending holiday office parties, which also means we’re in need of a Christmas party look that is both professional and festive.

This year, I wanted to highlight an outfit that is subtly festive and effortlessly chic, starting with this satin, zipper-back top. Lilla P is a brand that I’ve worked with in the past (see this post), and sincerely appreciate the quality of their clothing. Their pieces are iconic–think: the classics, but better.

CREATE AN UNDERSTATED CHRISTMAS PARTY LOOK

It’s easy to reach for pieces with sequins, bright festive reds, and anything velvet during the holiday. What I love about this look though, is that it can easily transition right into post-holiday work wear and beyond, a look that can easily be worn all year round.

To make it holiday ready, add in these simple details:

• A touch of red with a signature red lipstick
• Simple, but beautiful accessories (I love the way rose gold pairs with black to finish the look without too much drama)
• Pin back your hair to highlight a pair of pearls and a long neckline.
