Striking the right balance between exuding holiday cheer and maintaining a polished professional appearance can be tricky. This year, move away from the customary Santa hats and ugly sweaters in favor of a more sophisticated approach: enriching your holiday office aesthetic with stunning pieces from Banana Republic, the prime destination for seamlessly infusing a festive spirit.
The brand's attention to detail is evident throughout its thoughtful design, which offers contemporary styles that can capture the essence of the season without veering into either casual or overly formal territory. Whether it's a metallic maxi dress for a touch of holiday glam or a cashmere sweater for comfort with a refined edge, they provide a solution for every taste.
And the careful curation of colors and textures effortlessly blends festive charm with professional poise: cranberry reds, lush forest greens, opulent metallics. Combined with the tactile appeal of textures like sumptuous velvet and cozy faux fur, they'll add a touch of luxury to your 9-to-5. These styles are so enticing, that they work for celebrations after work hours too.
To help you streamline your shopping pursuit, we offer up three holiday outfit suggestions from Banana Republic that provide office-approved style.
Success with a Strut
A single piece makes office dressing a cinch, no matter the season. During the holidays, it's all about adding details that impart a celebratory flair. The Lorca Boot is renowned for its impeccable craftsmanship. Additional styling tip: Wear with a crisp white shirt, tailored blazer, and trousers for a timeless, festive, yet meeting-ready ensemble. Amp up the look with Ravena Large Hoop Earrings, featuring a polished 18-karat-gold-plated finish. Complete your office ensemble with a neutral structured handbag and a subtle makeup palette, reserving a bold lip for after-work holiday gatherings.
Partywear for Every Occasion
Rich jewel tones are something of a neutral when the holidays hit and there's a celebration—and champagne toast—every day. Add a hint of magic to your office look with party-ready separates like the lush Alyse Relaxed Velvet Blazer and coordinating Norte Velvet Pleated Pant. Prioritize a radiant appearance with an application of subtle illuminator for a festive glow. Choose a sleek hairstyle and subtle makeup for a polished finish. Smoothly shift from work to holiday play by draping a structured topcoat over your shoulders.
Cozy Elegance
Baby, it's cold outside, and the cozy warmth of cashmere is sure delightful. Combine the go-to elevated sweater selection with an unexpected and dazzling dress for a day-to-night look that sings. The Odetta Metallic Maxi Dress, featuring a waist-accentuating wrap front and thigh-high slit, offers great versatility. And the Curio Cashmere Ribbed Sweater secures a comfortable yet stylish fit. Match the look with cranberry eye shadow, or a hint of gold shimmer. Finish with a petite metallic-finish watch, classic pumps, or velvet sandals.
