What to Wear to the Office Holiday Party

It’s office holiday party time. Do you wear:

1. A tuxedo t-shirt

2. A beer guzzler hat

3. A dress made of paperclips and Post-Its

We’ve been to office parties where colleagues crowded in the restroom for hair and makeup hours before. We’ve been to one where the chief revenue officer performed a robot dance—weird but also impressive. We’ve been to sloppy parties, sleepy parties, disco-ball-in-the-conference room parties and they’ve ranged from deadly to raucous.

What hasn’t varied much is the what we wear: black dress/pants/jumpsuit/evening pajamas, uncomfortable shoes, strong lipstick, and no light-up jewelry whatsoever.

You can do this makeup (in addition to, you know, the beer guzzler hat if you must):

Firm Flesh Thickstick Foundation

Tender Flesh Blush

Flesh to Flesh Highlighting Powder

Flesh Envy Eye Shadow Palette

Strong Flesh Lipstick
