No matter how much you want to be a hermit during the holiday season, chances are, you’ve been invited to at least one holiday party or festive get-together. Choosing the right outfits can obviously be daunting, and not everyone is a pro at dressing for the right occasion, whether it’s a company party, a formal gala, your SO’s parents’ Christmas gathering, or a chill gathering with your best buds. For that reason, check out our sophisticated-ish outfit ideas below! 😀
Your close friends’ house party – When those surrounding you have seen you at your worst, you can be yourself and let loose, while staying comfortable. Flats and shorts is the way to go, guys! We’ve kept the look slightly fancy so you’ll look good in photos, of course.
