From AM to PM

The season brings Christmas apéros or dinner right after work. What should you wear if you don’t have time to go home and change after work but still want to feel elegant for the evening?

The key to managing back-to-back Christmas apéros after work is an outfit that transitions seamlessly from office-appropriate to evening elegance. Here are some tips:

• The All-Purpose Skirt
  A high-quality knee-length or longer skirt in satin looks polished for the office and sophisticated for the evening. Choose a neutral color like black, navy or burgundy and combine the skirt with a cashmere or wool top, or a blazer.
• Power Dress or Trousers
  Go for high-quality tailored trousers paired with a simple top like a silk blouse
• The Little Black Dress
  Always a go-to piece that can be styled with accessories and jewelry to suit any occasion.
• Pack Statement Accessories
  Wear minimal jewelry during the day and switch to bold pieces for the evening, such as a cocktail ring, larger earrings, or a statement necklace
• Shine and Glitter
  Add a touch of sparkle to your outfit with a piece like a sequin blazer, a top in metallic fabric or shoes with a gold or silver embellishment.
• Elegant Shoes
  Choose flats for daytime comfort, then swap to heels for the evening to instantly elevate the look.
• Quick Make-Up Update
  Add red lipstick or eyeliner for a glamorous touch to your evening style.
