You just got an invite for the annual holiday party at work. Whether that makes you say “yay” or “nay,” these events are a great way to get to know your coworkers as you talk about something other than work (for a portion of the evening, at least). Just as you plan to keep conversations work-appropriate, you want to make sure you’re also suitably dressed for the occasion.
Despite a less than fabulous reputation, corporate fashion can be stylish — so we’re here to help you find the cutest work party looks that you’ll feel confident in.

With that in mind, were are 17 of our favorite safe (and stylish) picks for your festive company party!
