Holiday Season: A Guide to Christmas Party Outfits

By Félix, SUITABLEE

 

The holiday season always brings with it a certain kind of energy, gatherings, laughter, and a reason to dress a little sharper than usual. Office parties, cocktail events and end-of-year dinners all call for a look that feels festive without overdoing it. It’s the time of year when style can be classic yet a little more daring.

The Turtleneck and Suit Combination

There’s something effortlessly cool about swapping the classic dress shirt for a turtleneck come holiday season. It’s the kind of move that says you understand style, but you’re not trying too hard. The knit adds texture and warmth, while the suit brings the structure. Together, they strike a balance that feels equal parts comfort and confidence.

This year, embrace the seasonal palette. A forest green or burgundy turtleneck under a neutral blazer instantly channels a festive mood without crossing into cliché territory. It’s sleek, it’s warm, and it gives you that touch of nonchalance.

Velvet and Jewel Tones

Velvet is one of those rare materials that only truly belongs to this time of year. Try wearing it to the office in March or at a wedding, and it’s too much. But during the holidays? It’s perfect! Luxurious, soft, and unapologetically bold, it’s the clothing equivalent of a champagne toast. In terms of colors, jewel tones are the perfect companions to velour fabrics. Deep emerald, sapphire, and burgundy evoke that holiday spirit without ever feeling costume-ish. 

That said, velvet is already a statement on its own, it doesn’t need much to stand out. Sometimes, less is more! A velvet jacket paired with crisp trousers can look even sharper than a full suit, giving you that hint of luxury without tipping into excess. Keep the rest understated, a crisp white shirt, polished shoes, and one bold accessory are all you need.

Mix & Matching

Mixing and matching is where tailoring loosens its tie a little. It’s confident, creative, and just the right amount of playful for an office Christmas party. The trick is knowing how to strike balance. Start with something neutral like a clean turtleneck or a crisp shirt and let one element of your outfit do the talking. That might mean pairing bold, checkered trousers with a subtle jacket, or flipping the formula with classic trousers and a textured flannel blazer in rich tones.

The contrast keeps the look interesting without going overboard. It’s not about clashing, it’s about finding that middle ground between formal and fun. Done right, it feels effortless and self-assured, like you know the rules but choose to bend them just enough. It’s stylish without being too serious and that’s exactly the energy a holiday party calls for.
