Can you explain “festive” attire dress code? The invitation I received specifies festive attire.
Festive attire means party clothes but it is up to your take based on who sent the invitation. There are no specific dress rules spelling out festive attire but a cocktail dress or something with sequins / sparkly, metallic or an outfit in a dressy fabric like velvet, silk, lace or satin says festive. If a New Years Eve invite says festive you can pull out all the stops and go big. If the office party invite says festive it’s best to add some glitzy jewelry or party shoes to a basic like a LBD, pants and a top or wear something in the Christmas colors like red and / or green. Common sense always rules.
Holiday chic is festive and an excuse to dress up big time. If you can find something in your drawers and / or closet you can save time and money so don’t panic, shop your closet. These trends have been around for a while and continue to be strong for holiday 2015.
Holiday Office Parties
Dress appropriately for the occasion. Business attire is appropriate when the party is right after work. Remember the office party is part of your job. It is better to dress more conservatively no matter when the party is held. Looking professional is important. – See more at: https://www.4fashionadvice.com/holiday-office-parties/#sthash.f56n4NJ9.dpuf
