Dress To Impress For Your Office Party

It’s that time of year, that time when you get to see all your work colleagues dressed in their finest and what happens when Brenda in Accounting has a little too much eggnog – it’s corporate holiday party time!

Everyone wants to impress at their company holiday party, especially if facetime with the boss is a possibility; but the holidays are expensive enough on their own, sometimes running out and dropping a few hundred bucks on a new outfit just isn’t an option. How can you look your best without splurging on brand new cocktail attire? Simply Laundry can help! We can take last year’s cocktail dress or that suit you wore to your best friend’s wedding and make it look new again. All you need to do is visit Simply Laundry online and place an order – we’ll cover the rest: picking up, laundering or dry cleaning, and returning your clothes to you looking brand new.

Stuck on ideas? Chances are, you have everything you need for the perfect office holiday party sitting right in your closet – you just need a little inspiration! The great thing about fashion is that it cycles, what was a definite no-go one season can suddenly be the new ‘it’ item next season. Follow these tips for dressing for your office holiday party and let Simply Laundry clean your old clothes and turn them into a better-than-new outfit that is sure to impress.

For Gentlemen

Casual Party: Mix patterns and fabrics for a look that is sure to turn heads

Pairing tweed pants with a solid jacket over a patterned shirt creates a sophisticated casual look that is easy to pull together. This season, mixed fabrics and patterns are the best way to pull together an elegant yet down-to-earth ensemble perfect for a casual holiday gathering.
