It's officially the holiday season, and that means a calendar chock-full of office parties, soirées with friends, and family gatherings. With all the excitement comes the constant question: "What should I wear?" Planning your holiday party outfit can be tricky, so we've tapped NYC-based stylist Marissa Adele for her expert tips on what not to wear this holiday season—and what to wear instead!
1 of 30
Don't Wear: Too Much Glitter
"Don't over-glitter," says Adele. "There are so many cute and sparkly options, but keep it to one piece in your outfit."

Wear: Sequin Pencil Skirt
Think of this sequin pencil skirt as your go-to this holiday season. Pair with a blouse and blazer for your office party, and switch out with a sweater and heels to transform it to a nighttime look.

Don't Wear: Gym Sneakers
You don't have to sacrifice comfort for parties, but leave your trainers at the door when it comes to holiday fashion.
4 of 30
Wear: Feather Loafer Flats
Instead, slip into something cute (and just as comfy), such as these festive burgundy loafers.
5 of 30
Don't Wear: Grungy Jeans
Jeans aren't a total no-no when dressing for parties, but steer clear of anything too distressed, worn, or grungy. Remember: If you'd paint the house in them, they have no place at a holiday celebration!

Wear: Shimmer Side Stripe Skinny Jeans
Opt for a well-designed, darker wash as an alternative. These skinny jeans even have a touch of metallic.

Don't Wear: An Overly Fancy Dress
Barring a black tie event, a prom-worthy gown is a fashion faux pas best left in the back of your closet.
8 of 30
Wear: Red Kiera Dress
This classic kimono-style dress is an elegant option for any dress code. Sites like Rent the Runway allow you to dress for the seemingly endless holiday parties on your itinerary without emptying your bank account.

Don't Wear: Costume-y Attire
Costumes are for the elves at the mall workshop. "Don't thematically color-block," says Adele. "Wearing a holiday color is great, but don't show up wearing red and green."

Wear: Festive Wrap Top
Feel free to deck yourself out in festive colors, but try to choose just one. We recommend this wrap top in gorgeous green.

Don't Wear: Overly Casual Clothes
Anything too casual will fail to leave a good impression, especially at a holiday office party. Skip the t-shirt and make sure the blouse you wear is wrinkle-free.
12 of 30
Wear: Tie Waist Velvet Pants
These velvet pants are the perfect way to look put together. Pair with a blouse, booties, and a jacket to complete the look.

Don't Wear: Just One Layer
"Don't forget to layer," notes Adele. "Make sure your look is comfortable in a warm party but you're also able to get there without freezing."
14 of 30
Wear: A Leopard-Print Coat
Make layering fun from top to bottom. A pretty, printed faux fur will keep you warm andallow for a chic entrance.

Don't Wear: Cheap (Looking) Jewelry
Inexpensive jewelry doesn't need to look cheap! Aim for cute, cocktail-style earrings instead of tacky alternatives.
16 of 30
Wear: Cocktail-Style Earrings
These champagne and crystal cocktail earrings are a fun and affordable way to liven up any outfit. Adding fun accessories (think embellished clutches, chandelier earrings) are a great way to make an old outfit feel fresh for a party.
17 of 30
Don't Wear: A Basic Sweater
Sure, an ivory cable knit is versatile and classic at wintertime. But why not liven things up for the most festive time of the year?
18 of 30
Wear: A Colorful Sweater
Go for a bold color option, like this mustard sweater. You'll stand out in a sea of neutrals while still feeling cozy and warm.
19 of 30
Don't Wear: Tacky Holiday Sweaters
As much as we love the funny theme, unless it's explicitly an ugly sweater party, leave Rudolph and his friends at home.
20 of 30
Wear: Bow Drop Earrings
Instead, pull in touches of the season in smaller, Christmas-inspired details. These bow drop earrings will do the trick!
21 of 30
Don't Wear: Too Much Makeup
You want to feel extra glam at the event, but that doesn't have to mean trying out all the latest makeup trends at once.
22 of 30
Wear: A Bold Lip
Nothing says Christmas like a swipe of crimson lipstick! We love this MAC version; the tube is just as pretty as the shade inside.
23 of 30
Don't Wear: Overly Sheer Tops
Sweaters aren't the only go-to for party wear. Fun blouses are a great alternative, as long as they're not too sheer—and the proper undergarments are considered.
24 of 30
Wear: Ruffle Hem Metallic Dot Blouse
This blouse comes with an additional camisole for confident coverage. Bonus: It's available in petite and plus sizes, so you're sure to find the right fit.
25 of 30
Don't Wear: Sky-High Stilettos
Skip the stilettos. There's nothing worse than limping through the crowds while trying to mingle—besides stepping into a pile of snow with bare toes!
26 of 30
Wear: Block-Heeled Booties
"If it's snowing, a cute boot would be a better option than a heel," says NYC-based stylist Marissa Adele. These glittery, block-heeled booties will be able to withstand all the traveling, standing, mingling, and fun.

Don't Wear: Boring Business Attire
Company holiday parties shouldn't feel like an extension of the work day, so why dress like it? Keep your stuffy suits at home this holiday season.
28 of 30
Wear: Velvet Blazer
Instead, swap boring grays and pinstripes for luxe fabrics like velvet with fun embellishments.
29 of 30
Don't Wear: Bare Legs If It's Chilly
Consider the weather when wearing a dress at your get-together. That might mean skipping out on bare legs.
30 of 30
Wear: Polka Dot Sheer Tights
Use the season as an excuse to have fun with your legwear. This polka-dot version packs a punch and keeps your gams warm.
