Two refined pieces: blazer + trousers or skirt

If you're looking for a blend of professionalism and sophistication, a blazer paired with tailored trousers or a midi skirt can be ideal. It's a look that conveys seriousness, but with an elegant touch. A textural contrast or a slightly different color in the blouse or top can add personality without disrupting the overall harmony. This creates a look that's appropriate even in more formal work environments.

Touching elegance with understated touches: festive textures and tones

Sometimes a single detail is all it takes to make a difference: a satin top, clean-cut dark trousers, a structured coat, a metallic clutch, or sparkly earrings. These kinds of looks work especially well when the dinner doesn't require formal attire, but does call for a touch of refinement.

Smart-casual chic: smart trousers or jeans + party top

For relaxed dinners—perhaps a casual office dinner, a cozy restaurant, or after-work drinks—structured trousers or dark jeans paired with a smart top, light blazer, or statement shirt can be perfect. Add heels or ankle boots and understated accessories, and you'll be effortlessly ready.

What to keep in mind according to the event's dress code

Not all company dinners are the same . It's important to adapt your look accordingly.

  • The level of formality: a dinner at an elegant restaurant requires more sophistication; an after-work or informal dinner allows for more relaxed looks.
  • The setting and the time : the time of the event (midday, evening) and the location influence the choice of fabrics, colors and accessories.
  • Your comfort: choose clothes that allow you to move freely, feel confident and maintain style throughout the evening.

Frequently asked questions: how to choose your outfit for the company Christmas dinner

Is it mandatory to dress formally for the company Christmas dinner?

It depends on the event: many dinners allow for smart-casual styles, especially if there isn't a strict dress code. Ideally, you should adapt your outfit to the context, always seeking a balance between professionalism and elegance.

Can I wear shiny or textured clothing to company dinners?

Yes—as long as the rest of the look maintains balance. A touch of satin, velvet, a clutch, or understated earrings can add sophistication without being over the top.

What footwear is suitable for company dinners?

Ideally, choose elegant shoes: mid-heel ankle boots, stilettos, refined loafers, or sandals, depending on the weather and the style of the event. Avoid anything too casual if you're going for a polished look.

What is recommended if I don't know the dress code for the dinner?

Opt for an elegant balance: classic garments, neutral or understated festive tones, and moderate accessories. It's better to go well-dressed than to fall short.
