Smart-casual is the holy grail of dress codes, as it basically gives you a free pass to wear whatever you want (sports tops aside, that is). Never one to turn down an opportunity to dress up, we'll be following Lucy Williams's lead with a satin blouse tucked into edgy leather trousers.
Big enough for your keys, phone, debit card and lipstick (what else would you need?).
Lace courts will add gloss to any outfit. Invest in them now, and you'll wear them all season long.

Whether your party is set to be quite formal or if clients will be in attendance, consider a midi dress your go-to. It's effortlessly elegant, and if you're dashing from your desk straight to the party, it'll cut your getting-ready time in half while still making it look as if you've put in all the effort. Just add a faux-fur stole to keep the chill at bay.
Wear this as a stole after dark or pair it with a blazer, jeans and loafers during the day.
Intent on dancing the night away? These party flats are where it's at.

Work in a pretty straightlaced environment? Then we recommend wearing something that isn't too far removed from your usual get-up. Thankfully there are plenty of gorgeous trouser suits to be had this party season. Look for fancy textures or prints to make it feel less 9-to-5.
These strides will look just as sleek paired with a camel roll-neck after the fact.
Give your suit a playful spin with bright arm candy.
Slingbacks strike the perfect balance between sexy and sophisticated.

If your workplace is one of those über-hip places, don't be afraid to let your outrageous side come out. A sequinned skirt is a firm party season fixture, but for a next-level look, pair it with a printed top and kitschy accessories.
This waist-cincher is giving Gucci belts a run for their money this party season.
Gold sequins and a grosgrain bow? It doesn't get much more Christmasy than that.
Bright heels will instantly elevate monochromatic or tonal ensembles.
