Holiday/Festive Looks for Professionals

Holiday style for professionals doesn’t have to mean sequins from head to toe—it should feel refined, comfortable, and completely you. As DC’s top wardrobe stylist and a go-to personal stylist for professionals, I believe holiday style for professionals is about standing out with intention, not excess. Whether you’re headed to a company cocktail party or an intimate dinner, these ideas for holiday style for professionals offer just the right amount of festive without veering into overdone.

Take some pressure off yourself trying to find the perfect “holiday” outfit – keep it simple with this ONE trick: add something metallic or sparkly! And one of the easiest ways is with accessories like earrings, belts, scarves, ties, socks, hosiery, and headwear.

💥 Done!

Sparkly stuff and metallics elevate any look. You can even pair them with neutrals and you’re still ready to rock. We found a couple of photos showing sparkles + an everyday, neutral piece but still 100% festive and party-ready!

While another option is to look for items in traditional holiday colors like red or green, or the more modern colors of cranberry, hot pink, or gold, you’ll find more options, better pricing, and greater versatility with your ‘fits if you just snag a little sparkle and toss it everywhere! ✨

I found this yummy sequin sweatshirt, these metallic mesh Mary Jane flats, and this metallic satin tank to get you started!

Show me what you’re working with…and here’s an article on how to wear sequin pants whenever!
