Dresses for Your Office Holiday Party

The work holiday party is a must for most cubicle-dwellers. It necessitates looking professional but stepping outside of the blazer-and-slacks box. Here, our stylish (corporate-appropriate) picks that'll have you looking your best.

If You Want To Hide Your Tummy…
Zara gold dress
Shop for a structured dress with a tailored waistline that hits right at your belly button. Any lower will emphasize your middle and higher can imitate a maternity frock. We love this festive gold pick, perfect for evening drinks but ready for your desk when juxtaposed with a soft, button-up sweater.
Zara Tulip Dress, $99.90; zara.com

If You're Busty…
Kensie black dress
Shop for a shallow scoop-neck frock that'll allow for a full-support bra. Coverage is important, but avoid cuts that hide your collarbones, as it can look suffocating on larger chested women. We love this pick's playful sheer sleeves-cover 'em up during the day with a fitted jacket and shed it post-5 p.m.!
Kensie Women's Lace Dress, $108; amazon.com

If You Want To Mask Your Thighs…
LL Bean taffeta skirt
A full, midi-skirt is one of fall's biggest trends, and the A-line cut won't reveal whether you're a size 00 or 18. But the best news? The lady-like cut is pushing shorter, skimpier cocktail frocks out of the spotlight for evening. Pair yours with a jewel-tone blouse and cover with a cardie for day.
L.L. Bean Signature Silk Taffeta Skirt, $149; llbean.com

If You Want To Cover Your Upper Arms..
Tommy Bahama dress
Extra room, courtesy of cocoon sleeves like this frock's, are perfect for concealing any wiggle and jiggle. The shape is a more interesting silhouette than your regular 9-to-5 shift and can be jazzed up for cocktails with thick cuff bracelets or a major statement necklace.
Tommy Bahama Costero Batwing Dress, $168; tommybahama.com

If You're Short…
Rafaella leopard skirt
A classic pencil skirt, hitting at the kneecap, will look good on your figure and will never, ever go out of style. A chic leopard print is sassy enough for toasting, but also works in the corporate world when paired with a simple top. Try with a plain tank and blazer for day, and ditch the jacket post-cubicle.
Rafaella Printed Pencil Skirt, $49.99; amazon.com
