Christmas Party Looks & Ideas

Looking for an outfit that will turn heads at your Christmas party? Whether you're on the hunt for a stand-out shirt that will make you the star of the annual office soiree, a glitzy dress for Christmas Eve or a casual look for Boxing Day, our festive partywear guide will help you choose the perfect ensemble for every event.

With parties and events filling up your advent calendar, finding a unique, exciting outfit for each can be tricky. Luckily, we can help. 

The work Christmas party is a perfect chance to show off your style to colleagues who only ever see you in workwear. 

Of course, what you wear all depends on what type of party it is. If you’re heading to a formal dinner, an occasion dress and heels make for a perfect combination. Make sure to pick an outfit that makes you feel as gorgeous and glamorous as can be whilst still keeping a touch of professionalism. The more daring dresses can be kept for New Year’s Eve with friends. 

If the party is a more casual buffet at the workplace, you might want to opt for some festive knitwear. The classic Christmas jumper just can’t be beat, and you can match it with jeans or smarter trousers, depending on whether you want to dress the look up or down.

Christmas Eve Looks For Women

The most magical night of the year, Christmas Eve is such fun whether you spend it at a party or cuddled up by the fire. 

Step into the spotlight with Joe Browns jumpsuits, perfect for a chic and festive flair this Christmas Eve. Thanks to their sleek silhouettes and luxurious material, they’re designed to make a statement at any festive gathering, letting you unleash your inner fashionista. 

If jumpsuits aren’t your thing, try tailoring. It's a timeless choice that brings just the right amount of edginess to more sophisticated styles thanks to its sensational structure and slick silhouettes. We can’t get enough of classic tailoring, and we’ve even brought some brand-new shapes and styles this season, so you have plenty of choice.

Don’t forget to accessorise with a remarkable handbag!

A cosy Christmas Eve waiting for Santa Claus is just a dream! Joe Browns comfy loungewear is just ideal for snuggling up with a cup of cocoa. You can even add some extra special festive touches with our cute Christmas accessories, like reindeer slippers, to really get you in the spirit!

The big day is here! But what will you wear? 

If you like to dress up for Christmas day, velvet and velour bring sumptuous luxury to any ensemble. The texture is captivating, the colours are enchanting, and every stitch is designed to be worn your own way.

To be truly festive, opt for the beautiful jewel tones we associate with the season. Midnight blues, ruby reds and emerald greens, or maybe a hint of gold.

If you like a laid-back look for Christmas Day, choose a comfy knitted dress. Add some Christmas accessories like a novelty brooch or hat to really get the party started. 

Boxing Day is simply one of the best British traditions, whether you’re snagging bargains in the sales or heading out on a wintery walk before turkey round 2!

If a stroll is your activity of choice, pair a chunky knit with jeans and sturdy boots, then opt for a toasty jacket. Finish with the essential accessories, gloves, a scarf, and a stylish hat like a chic beret.

For those going shopping, try a sleek jumper matched with a lovely skirt, and top off the look with a statement coat. Our embroidered coats truly add some sophistication to a Boxing Day look.

We all like to look our best when seeing in a brand new year. Traditionally, New Year’s Eve is associated with glittery looks so some shimmering shoes could be a perfect touch of sparkle. 

Of course, you can also never go wrong with the classic little black dress. Just don’t forget to bring it to life with some exquisite jewellery. 

From novelty t-shirts to slick suits, there are lots of clothing options for a gent at Christmas. But which outfit should you wear at which event?

Dress to impress at the work Christmas party with some men's tailoring, but don’t be too stuffy - it’s a party after all! Add a unique twist by pairing your blazer and waistcoat with a truly funky shirt. 

For something less formal, bring some panache to the holiday bash with a vibrant festive jumper or fairisle cardigan. Our work Christmas party style guide is bursting with even more ideas if you’re still stuck. 

If it wasn’t enough trying to find an outfit for the day itself, we often have events to dress up for the night before too!

A blazer is the perfect way to add sharpness to an overall outfit and Christmas is the perfect time to go all-out festive with your blazer in rich plum or ruby red colours.

You could also add a pop of vibrant colour to really scream “party time”. Go for shocking pink or a similarly sensational hue for an instant boost. 

Get cosy in pyjamas and a dressing gown. Joe Browns has some christmas-inspired novelty nightwear options that will definitely have you feeling holly and jolly. Our PJ’s also make for a wonderful present, and you can see our Christmas Gift Guide for more ideas on all the best things to surprise your loved ones with this year. 

Bring on the smart-casual vibes with winter floral shirts and your favourite smart jeans for a dressed-down vibe with just the right amount of festive sophistication. You may want to go all-out Christmassy or keep it to a winter theme, which you can add to your autumn/winter capsule wardrobe and wear throughout the chilly seasons.

A graphic t-shirt with a yuletide print is sure to put a smile on everyone’s face this Christmas. Whether you’re sporting a Santa design or a cool Christmas tree, you’ll add extra fun to your Christmas dinner or gift exchange. 

Boxing Day tends to be a little more relaxed than the previous two days, so enjoy some subdued style with a henley top and the go-to jeans. Add trainers, a jacket and a beanie for the finishing touch if you’re setting off for the traditional boxing day walk, or throw on a smart cardigan to visit family and friends. 

Our Boxing Day style guide is full of fashion ideas for all your post-Christmas activities.  

Want to be fully suited and booted for the New Year? Joe Browns suits and men’s tailoring brings all the finishes and confidence you expect from a suit, but it’s the Joe Browns twist that sets it apart from the rest.

Don’t forget to finish with equally suave shoes, such as classic brogues or boots.
