Work Hard, Party Harder: 6 Office Party Trends
Whether you’re the newest hire or the one that gets a little too sloppy at the open bar, we've got the office-party pick for you.
Ah, the office holiday party, the only party you’re actually paid to attend. She can be a tough one to dress for – do you play it safe and stay on your boss’ good side or do you pull out all the stops to impress your work crush?
Fret not. Whether you’re the newest hire or the one that gets a little too sloppy at the open bar, one thing you’ll never be is the one with bad shoes.
Here are 6 trending party styles your coworkers will still be talking about come Monday morning.
#1 Bordeaux Knee-High Boots
For the Party Committee (of 1): you’re the reason there even is an office party (thank you for your service). Always first on the dance floor and the last to leave, you run the show in Rhodde, a sexy yet very walkable bordeaux knee-high boot, featuring a feminine pointed toe, a trendy wide shaft and a dainty stiletto heel.
#2 Heeled Mary-Janes
For the New Grad: you’re the newest hire, the cub of the pack. You might use one too many exclamation points when answering Slack chats but you sure dress like you run the place.
Our pick for you: Addele. She’s a velvet block heel Mary-Jane with rhinestone detailing that screams young, but never naive.
#3 Slingback Pumps
For the 'OOO' Queen: you’ve never willingly turned your web cam on, and though you’re too cool to make more than a brief appearance at the office party, you sure know how to make an impression.
Pick up Giuliaa, a gold-tipped slingback stilettos that just like you, teases the fun without ever doing too much.
#4 Brown Heels
For the CEO: you put the babe in boss babe. Never without a statement piece, you’re staying on top of the trends in Chiicago, a brown mesh slingback pump in the colour of the season, proving quiet luxury speaks volumes.
#5 Fuchsia
For the Personality Hire: you might get a little overzealous at the open bar, but you’re the life of the party (and HR’s biggest headache).
You’re starting up conversations in Oddessa: an embellished fuchsia strappy heel that has as much personality as you.
#6 Sugar Glitter
For the Office Gossip: you know everything before it hits the group chat, and somehow, everyone still tells you more.
Maybe it’s your charm. Maybe it’s Mesmerize: a sugar-glitter stiletto so eye-catchingly distracting they forget they shouldn’t spill the tea on their work crush to you.
#7 Bonus: Classic Derby Shoes
For the Work Husband: you’re a reliable, unbothered king and at least a few people’s work crush.
Your office party +1 is Grandfield, a classic pair of lace-up derby shoes that are as dependable yet swoon-worthy as you.
Whether you’re there for the hot goss, the canapés, or the sparkling shoes, one thing’s for sure: you’ll be the highlight of the office recap.
So grab your drink, find your people, and let your shoes do the talking.
