Make an impression at Christmas lunch: Choose the perfect dress

Season for Christmas parties and pretty dresses

Yay, it's finally that time of year when the wooden leg needs to be swung, the Søren needs to be turned on and the nice dresses need to be taken out of the closet, because it's finally Christmas party season with all that that entails, including dressing nicely. There are several considerations you need to make when it comes to finding the perfect dress, and we'll take you through some of them here, so you can stand out with the perfect dress.

Dress length and cleavage

As mentioned, there are a lot of considerations to make when finding the perfect dress, and some of these considerations should be made based on the circle of friends you are with at the Christmas lunch. For example, the thigh-short dress with a plunging neckline is most suitable for family Christmas lunches if you want grandma to give you negative comments about it and a long lecture on what is appropriate. You should also think twice before wearing this type of dress to the company Christmas lunch. Of course, there are workplaces where all employees have such a close relationship with each other that it does not harm your professional image, but typically it will be an advantage to have a more professional look for a company Christmas lunch - plus you risk Kim from accounting drooling on your cleavage, and who really cares?
The Christmas lunch with different groups of friends (and possibly the studio) is of course the place where you can go all out with your dress length and neckline. Here you don't have to think about it having to be proper or professional, but you just have to do whatever you feel like.
Now we're going to put these things in a slightly square format, because the most important thing is of course that you feel comfortable in what you're wearing, and that will always trump grandma's remarks about fornication and God knows what.

The color of the dress

The biggest question will almost always be what color the dress should be, and of course there are no wrong answers... but that doesn't mean there aren't answers that are more obvious than others. There are some classic colors that we see again and again for Christmas parties because they simply work for that, and these are of course typical Christmas colors. We're talking especially red and green, but metallic colors also work super well for Christmas parties, and we actually see that metallic shades will be hugely popular for Christmas parties this year. Otherwise, we would generally say that if you stick to the winter colors that dominate this year, which you can read more about in our blog post " Winter Fashion 2024 ", you're pretty safe.
A safe choice in most festive contexts, however, can be "The Little Black Dress". A little black dress is an eternally sophisticated and stylish choice. We are dealing with a timeless classic that will be perfect for Christmas lunch, because as the saying goes, you are never over- or underdressed in a little black dress.

The glitter dress

Look, now the party is getting started, because what is more festive than a glitter dress? The glamour, the elegance, the festive look - is there any reason NOT to choose a glitter dress? We don't know, but we can give you another good reason to choose a glitter dress for your Christmas party: Glitter in dresses helps to reflect the light, which is why glitter dresses have a very special effect during the dark months and look extra good.
And it's important to remember that glitter dresses don't come in one design and color, but come in a variety of styles and in many different colors, so shouldn't it be possible to find one for you too? In any case, a glitter dress is the perfect way to get noticed.

Trends of the year

If you're unsure about which way to go when it comes to dresses, you can always look at two things: 1) What's trending right now? and 2) What has always been trending?
Here you will find, among other things, that velvet is a material that is very in right now, while lace with its classic femininity and elegance is popular for this year's Christmas party season. The big trend for the year, however, is the previously mentioned metallic colors, which are perfect for Christmas parties, and which will go very well with glitter, which is also trendy. It is safe to look at what has always been trendy for Christmas parties, and here we are talking about the little black dress, Christmas colors in the form of red and green, and black glitter dresses , which are timeless classics. Dress length and neckline are so dependent on personal preferences, so it is difficult to point to specific trends, and therefore it is important to simply go for what you feel comfortable in.

We hope you've learned how to make an impression with a gorgeous dress for Christmas lunch.
