Men's office Christmas party outfits

What to wear to an office Christmas party: tailored trousers or chinos, a button-down or fine-gauge jumper, a blazer if your office wears one, and loafers or leather boots: a notch dressier than a normal workday. 215 complete looks, each with why it works.

By Ivan Kachur · Updated October 2026 · What to wear to an office Christmas party

The office party is still the office, so I'd go one step up from what you'd wear to work rather than three. A nicer knit, darker trousers, polished shoes. Leave the sequins for the weekend.

What to wear to an office Christmas party

How dressy is an office Christmas party?

Usually one step above what you'd wear on a normal workday, not three. If your office is jeans and jumpers, wear trousers and a nicer knit; if it's business casual, add a blazer or a silky top; if it's suits, a darker suit or a dress. A party at a restaurant or a hotel is a little dressier than one in the office itself. If the invitation names a dress code, follow it; if not, ask a colleague who went last year.

How do I make a work outfit festive?

Change one piece. A satin or velvet top instead of a plain one, velvet loafers instead of leather, a rich colour like burgundy or forest green instead of navy, or a little shine in the jewellery. The rest stays as it is on any other day, so you look like yourself, just ready for the evening.

What should I avoid at an office party?

Anything you'd hesitate to wear in front of your manager: very short hems, deep necklines, sheer fabrics, novelty jumpers if the party isn't themed, and shoes you can't stand in for three hours. The photos end up in the company chat.

What should men wear to an office Christmas party?

Tailored trousers or chinos, a button-down or a fine-gauge jumper, a blazer if your office wears one, and loafers or leather boots. A darker shirt or a richly coloured knit is festive enough.

What if the party is straight after work?

Wear your work outfit and change one piece in the evening: swap the knit for a silky top or a dark shirt, add a blazer, or change into dressier shoes. Pack the piece in your bag in the morning so you're not rushing; a statement accessory does the rest.

Questions people ask

Can I wear jeans to an office Christmas party?

If your office wears jeans and the party is in the office, dark jeans with a blazer or a smart knit are fine. At a restaurant or a venue, trousers are safer.

Should I wear sequins to the office party?

In a small dose at most, like a sequin top under a blazer. A head-to-toe sequin outfit is for a party with friends.

Should men wear a tie to an office Christmas party?

Only if your office normally wears one. Otherwise an open-collar shirt or a fine knit under a blazer looks right.

What shoes should I wear to an office party?

Shoes you can stand in for three hours: loafers, leather boots, block heels or dressy flats. Velvet or suede loafers are an easy festive touch.
