Being Chic for your Christmas Party 2011

Corporate Christmas Parties is inevitably part of every corporate professional's December calendar of events.  Dressing for these occasions gives a chance for a regular employee to show off their fashion sense and style.  For this year's holiday season, key elements and details on dresses and styling are predicted to create an outstanding impression for the otherwise, dull and boring corporate look of any office employee.

One-shouldered Dress

From the red carpet to cocktail parties (your own Christmas party), this 2011 trend gave sexiness once again to the asymmetrical look.  Whether it's a single sleeveless or a single long-sleeved style, this is one look that can create a more flattering look for anyone, and add a touch of confidence to the wearer.

Red typically is associated with passion, energetic, and considered an attention grabbing color.

Women in red suits can make a powerful impact in entering a room.  When a female saleswoman wears red lipstick, this can be a way of keeping the attention of her prospective clients.

Red also shows positivity, being extroverted and dynamic for the wearer.
