Dressing for the
?
?
If the holiday function is during the day, it is best to wear what you wear to work if the invitation does not say anything special.? That means if you wear a suit normally during the day, then wear a suit.? If you usually wear business casual, then do the same but it is always a good idea to at least bring a sport jacket or blazer.? Do not wear jeans, work-out attire or sneakers even if those are the things you normally wear during the day.? Avoid the funny Santa hats, reindeer antlers and ties that play ?Jingle Bells?.? That is not how you want the boss ? and her boss to remember you.

For Men During the Evening
?
If the holiday function is in the evening, the invitation may say business attire or formal attire.? If it says business attire and you have a very casual office, then you may be able to wear a sport jacket, shirt and tie and dress (not cotton khakis) trousers with non-sport shoes (and NO sandals).? You are safest for evening ?business attire? wearing a dark suit.? Dress as if you are going to an appointment with an important client and not like a teenager?s first job interview.? Take the time to look right and together.? Make sure you suit is clean and pressed, that your tie is clean and press too and that your shirt is clean and crisp looking.? Polish your shoes.? And again, no Santa hats, reindeer antlers and ties that play ?Jingle Bells?.? You want to make a good impression with your co-workers, your boss and her boss too.
?
For formal attire, you can often get by with the dark business suit, a white dress shirt and serious looking tie with dress shoes.? Ideally, for formal attire, you are going to need to wear a tuxedo with a white shirt (no ruffles please) and a black bow tie.? Polished black dress shoes are acceptable unless you own patent leather formal shoes (ideally slip-ons with grosgrain bows).? Remember, no powder blue suits, spinning Santa ties or holly motif shirts.? Simplicity is elegance.

Finally, if it says ?formal? and is held at a private venue in the evening ? and probably during the weekend, then the sky is the limit.? You had best go shopping now if you have not already.? A couple of points to remember.? What you wear should be conservative, it should be classic, it should say that you are educated and success and it should be something that you can wear again in the future.? Do not forget the pearls.? You can wear a little more jewels.? And no matter what, do not wear anything with a holiday theme or with red and green in it.? You might as well be standing by Santa at the mall if you do that.
