The annual office Christmas party season is now underway, and restaurants and bars are filled with people celebrating and having fun!
For us ladies, the trick is finding ways to look office appropriate by day and glamorous by night, without necessarily having to carry a whole new outfit with you to work.
A great way to transition your look from day to night is with accessories. The obvious things are changing your shoes to something sexy and strappy, and adding a glamorous evening jacket and/or clutch bag.
Another option to help transform your look is your jewellery. Don’t underestimate how much difference a fabulous necklace can make to not only how your outfit looks, but also how it makes you feel.
To help you out, here are a few ideas to spark some inspiration for your next office party or social evening.
Dress to impress
A nice, smart dress is something that many of us already wear to the office.
Adding an evening belt will change the silhouette and accentuate your curves. Combine it with a chunky statement resin necklace with touches of Swarovski crystal, and you turn up the heat to party ready!
Blaze a trail
Many of us have a little black dress in our party wardrobe arsenal. It’s an incredibly versatile piece that’s super easy to create casual and glam looks with.
At the end of the working day when you’re ready to head to the office party, slip on a gorgeous sequined blazer and a classically elegant pearl necklace, and you’re ready for the evening festivities in no time.
Pearls of all colours and sizes are a big trend this year, so you’ll automatically be making an of-the-moment fashion statement.
Rise to the top
If you don’t own a sequin blazer, you can create an equally impactful statement by switching things around and wearing a sequin top underneath your usual work blazer.
Pair it with a bold, statement pearl necklace to create an adventurous, chic look, and you’ll have heads turning as you walk into the room.
Shine bright with crystals
If wearing sequins really isn’t your thing, but you still want to add a touch of shimmer and shine to your look, how about a classic black top paired with a tonal brown chunky link necklace.
With added Swarovski crystals, a necklace like this makes a beautiful statement without being too over the top.
Pearl perfection
Nothing says glamour and elegance like a string of long, luxurious pearls. It really is one of the most versatile necklaces to have and can elevate any outfit from day to night.
If your office party is a slightly more conservative affair, you really can’t go wrong with a black dress and a string of stunning pearls.
Smart casual
Not everyone wants to pop on a frock to party the night away. For many of us, trousers are the way to go.
So, why not pair a beautiful, coloured sequin top with some gorgeous black trousers, or in reverse a plain top with some sequin trousers, and add a big, bold show stopping statement necklace to complete your look.
The beauty of statement necklaces is their ability to turn up the glamour when needed. But, as always, the most important thing is selecting an outfit and jewellery that you love and makes you feel like a million dollars for your night out.
