Dress to impress.
We know what you’re thinking, whether it's up there with the highlight of your festive calendar or quite frankly, you’d rather be anywhere else, obligatory office Christmas parties are coming and we're here to lighten the dressing-load, at the very least.
While work Christmas party might mean talking shop briefly with Dave in Accounts, it can give you with the opportunity to show your colleagues a different side to your style and impress others who you may not deal with on the regular.
