There\u2019s one party every year where business is guaranteed to mix with pleasure: the holiday office party. It’s that time to let your hair down (finally) with your coworkers, have a few laughs, and connect on a different level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best of holiday work parties bring teams together…and the worst? Well, a work party gone south ends up with someone feeling pretty embarrassed and very hungover. In the mid-range of that spectrum, you might take a career misstep and set back the timeline for your next promotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This isn’t about hiding your true self or shutting down your creativity, either. It’s about personal branding. You know how they say you should dress for the job you want, and not the one you have? Well, dressing is only half of it. The other half is how you carry yourself, and staying classy goes a long way in the workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So follow these five strategies and you’ll have no qualms about showing your face at the office on Monday morning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to stay classy at your holiday work party<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Sip the same cocktail all night<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s always one person who drinks too much\u2014don\u2019t be her! You can do this in a few different ways. My go-to move is to order something strong and sip it all night long. But you could also keep an eye on the office slosh and stay several drinks behind that pace. Or limit yourself to one drink every 90 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can figure out a process that works for you. But decide how you want to manage it before you get to the party. It’s easy for too many drinks to go down if you’re not thinking about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Dress for the party but Don’t overdo it <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You don’t want to show up to the party in a pantsuit, but a deep-v, backless jumpsuit<\/a> isn’t appropriate either. Don’t shy away from showing off your personality, but make sure that’s all you’re showing off. Any dress that’s too revealing, too tight, or too short sends the wrong message. Try the picks below for conservative, but still cute, options.<\/p>\n\n\n
