what to wear to a holiday party 

formal holiday parties are the perfect excuse to go all out with your attire. we’re talking glitzy mini dresses, glamorous heels, + extra everything. cue: our waltz floral mini dress. 

she’s sweet, sophisticated, + shimmery– the holy trinity of holiday dresses. we suggest adding a red bow + coordinating kitten heels to play up the festive feels.

if you prefer something of a longer length, our hazel midi dress is the move. you can never go wrong with a classic black cocktail dress, especially when it’s detailed with the cutest lil bows. throw on a black velvet headband + pointed-toe heels, en voila! it’s giving holiday party perfection. 

what to wear to a casual christmas party 

family christmas parties, favorite things parties, gift exchange parties… the casual holiday gatherings are lowkey never-ending. so, here’s what you’re wearing to all of the above.

not only is red the color of the season, it’s also festive af. that’s why you can never go wrong with a cozy red sweater + a pair of jeans. the kitty pullover is a zoco hunni essential + we love how chic it looks styled with our ‘say you love me’ flare denim. add a pair of boots or flats + some minimalistic jewelry + you’re golden, babe. 

what to wear to a work holiday party

work christmas parties call for something fun + flirty, but not over the top, you know? so, we suggest going with a blair waldorf-esque vibe, aka: the angelina sweater + a black mini skirt. 

it’s giving “christmas bonus: secured.” all you need to do is throw on a pair of ballet flats + scrunched socks to tie the whole ensemble together. 

what to wear for casual holiday outings

whether you’re picking out a christmas tree or getting some last-minute shopping done, your casual holiday outfits should still be serving. 

since december is already stressful enough, we recommend picking fits that require little-to-no effort. the cory jumpsuit is a great go-to because it looks chic, but it’s still casual + comfortable. pair it with anything from sneakers to ankle boots, + add some layers if the weather gets frightful. 

we hope we’ve given you some good holiday outfit inspo. keep following us for more iconic ideas (+ weekly clothing drops, duh). merry christmas + happy holidays! 

xo, zoco
