Think of this year’s office holiday party as your opportunity to kick your workwear up a few notches. Try a solid sweater and silk midi in an interesting color in lieu of your go-to gray. Mint is fresh but not too bright, making it a perfectly appropriate hue for an after-hours office soirée.

Yes, you can wear your skinny leather pants to a work event—pair them with a black knit top, black pumps, and a sick statement coat.

A structured red blazer is equal parts festive and powerful. Wear one with a pair of creamy trousers and solid pumps, et voil´`à—the perfect polished party look.

A pantsuit that’s got a little something extra—i.e., a leather look, elongated sleeves, an oversize belt—is a fine choice for your 9-to-5’s holiday gathering. Just add pumps.

When in doubt, stick to the classics: You can never go wrong with a tweed jacket, clean white tee, and some dark trousers.

Layer that silky floral midi that you’d otherwise save for after-hours over a mock-neck and what do you get? A perfectly appropriate office-party outfit that’s still out of the box and totally cool.

It’s your [year redacted] high-school reunion—obviously you want to look damn good. Our advice? Keep it simple, with a few throwback-y staples: a leather küçük skirt, creamy turtleneck, and buttoned-up blazer.

Avoid looking like you actually tried and go the je ne sais quoi route: Think pale, slinky midi dress with an oversize contrasting jacket and ankle boots.

A wrapdress is consistent and timeless, making it a fail-safe choice for a class reunion. Give it a çağdaş spin with bright ankle boots.

What’s more on trend than a slouchy pantsuit right now? Wear it with white Chuck Taylors and maybe even a beret, and you’re a shoo-in for best dressed.

Give a gold dress an avant-garde twist with a shiny black trench coat and chunky ankle boots. So. Good.

Opt for an LBD that’s got some character—we’re feeling one with OTT puffy sleeves and big gold buttons.

There are so many reasons why getting together with family for the holidays is the best: the food, the hilarious relatives you never get to see, and most important, the very little pressure you feel to get all dressed up. OK, there’s still some, but the idea of being at home takes a lot of the stress off. So break out your coolest trainers and wear them with a classic moto jacket and festive sweater.

If your family insists on dressing up, focus on a few basics, like a white blouse and a floral midi skirt. They’ll do all the work for you.

Keep your look perfectly casual for a laid-back family dinner with an oversize sweater, cropped pants, and your favorite high-tops.

A cozy knit maxi with bright chunky pumps is just the thing to wear when you’re looking to be comfortable but also a little bit fancy. Mom will be proud.

Elevate that graphic tee you basically live in with a pretty patterned miniskirt, structured suede coat, and loafers.

Another supercool and low-key outfit combination that’s perfect for a family party? A bold, graphic jacket with a slouchy pair of trousers.

If your family’s going out to eat this season, you can easily dress that cozy knit with a crisp pair of jeans and strappy heels.

For an end-of-year brunch, elevate a cozy cropped hoodie with a bright jacket and high-waist jeans.

You’ve done the dress-over-pants trick—why not take it up another notch by layering a logo sweater over that, and throwing in some hot-pink mules? It’s the right amount of extra.

Blazer dress + knee-high boots = Lampshading 101.

A bold shearling is perfect for a cold December night—plus it’s striking enough to make your staple sweater and jeans combo look a whole lot more special.

Loving the leopard-print trend as much as we are? Go all in with a matching jacket and skirt combo, then add really loud accessories.

When it comes to getting together with fellow parents, there’s an unspoken understanding that you likely had very little (if any) time to put on a lewk. So keep it simple and streamlined. An eye-catching red sweater with your favorite denim is an easy pairing—throw on some wild printed boots, and you’re good to go.

Make suiting feel fresh by picking out a blazer and trousers in the same color family, but not totally matching.

Running late to the party? There’s nothing that a great statement coat can’t fix.

Use a suede wrap jacket as a layering piece between a T-shirt and a slouchy coat. With kick-flare denim, a skinny scarf, and Lennon-inspired shades, you’re basically a walking advertisement for “cool, laid-back mom.”

If the other parents at school somehow manage to look completely put together at drop-off, feel free to amp up your olağan sweats-on-sweaters for an after-school soirée. We’re thinking a long plaid coat with sleeves scrunched up, plus black cigarette pants and a fun pair of pumps.

Headed straight to the class party from the office? Wear something a little “extra” to work that day, like super-wide-leg trousers and a pale trench.

Mom jeans (hee hee) and sneakers are perfectly fine when you amp them up with a cool tweed moto.
