With the approach of Christmas and the season of goodwill and cheer, many of you will be going straight from work to cocktail parties.
We’ve recently showcased desk-to-dinner dresses where it is easy to up the ante with faux fur and glamorous shoes and accessories.
Another way to create seamless desk-to-dusk dressing is to make your suiting work harder for you. Wear business suits or mismatched suiting
by day and swop your blouse or skirt for something lacy or sparkly for the evening. Exchange your jacket for a faux fur wrap or evening coat,
slipping on a pair of glittery heels if you wish. Adapting your suiting means you can change quickly and still go from the Boardroom to the Bar with ease.
CWC style tip: If you value your Personal Brand, keep festive dressing chic and elegant. If you’re attending a business Christmas party, you’re still ‘at work’.
For the boardroom:
Black & cream jacket, LK Bennett
Black pencil skirt, Hobbs

Some of you may work in more relaxed business settings where the dress code is Business Casual. There’s no need to wear a suit and smart Separates
are the order of the day. That said it feels special to change into more festive clothing for an evening occasion, especially at this time of year.
For the boardroom:
Black tailored coat, Jaeger
Black & white pencil skirt, Pure Collection
Berry crush ruffle edge cardigan, Pure Collection
Silver pearl studs, Stella & Dot
Black micro dot heels, LK Bennett
For the bar:
Grey sequin skirt, Pure Collection
Nude pink cropped faux fur, Ted Baker
Tropicana chandelier earrings, Stella & Dot
Silver clutch, Reiss
There’s another way to make your work-to-evening transition even easier – and quicker. That is by asking a professional executive stylist
to give you a helping hand, and to recommend the perfect outfit to take you from the most formal of business meetings to a relaxed cocktail setting.
