From Office Party to Christmas Dinner: One Shirt, Two Occasions

The festive calendar fills up fast: office parties, Christmas dinners, drinks with friends, family get-togethers… and suddenly the question becomes “Do I really need a different outfit for every single event?” The answer is no, especially when you start with the right shirt.

The beauty of a well-designed shirt is its ability to feel polished one day and subtly festive  the next. The Party Edit from The Shirt Company is full of pieces that rise to the occasion, and then happily do it all over again! Here are five shirts that will shine at your office party and feel perfectly at home munching roasties and pulling crackers at Christmas dinner. 

Celeste Shirt with Red Bow — Festive and Full of Charm

The Celeste Shirt with its cheerful red bow brings just the right amount of holiday spirit. For an office party, it feels playful yet polished with tailored trousers and understated accessories. At home for Christmas dinner, it really comes into its own when styled with softer fabrics, perhaps a velvet skirt and some suede loafers. We love how the red bow adds warmth and Christmas cheer without ever feeling overdone.

Filadelfia Tartan Check Shirt — A Christmas Classic, Reimagined

Tartan is the fashionista's Christmas pattern of choice, and the Filadelfia Tartan Check Shirt embraces that tradition with a modern edge. At an office party, it offers festive confidence when worn with a tailored blazer and heels (if you still have the energy for that type of thing at the tail end of the year). At home, it’s playful charm just cries out for a shorter skirt and some gold earrings. 

Red Aria Shirt — Warm Colour, Soft Structure

The Red Aria Shirt is festive without being flashy. Worn to an office party, it makes a confident statement with clean lines and elegant accessories. At home on Christmas Day, it feels just as right styled with comfort in mind, perhaps with knitwear, relaxed trousers or a flowing skirt. The beautifully tailored collar is perfect to showcase your favourite lightweight necklace. 

Blue Constance Shirt — Elegant, and Comfortably Luxurious

Christmas dressing doesn’t have to be bold to feel special. The Blue Constance Shirt brings a sense of quiet luxury, ideal for evenings that are more about conversation and togetherness than hitting the dance floor. At an office party, its subtle sheen feels refined and celebratory. For Christmas dinner at home, it pairs beautifully with softer textures and cosy layering, creating a look that feels composed, comfortable and timeless.

Abigail Wrap Blouse — Confident, Modern, and Effortlessly Polished

The Abigail Wrap Blouse proves that comfort and confidence can go hand in hand. Its clean wrap line creates a beautifully defined silhouette that feels contemporary and modern. For an office party, it looks sharp and self-assured with cigarette pants and refined jewellery. At Christmas dinner at home, it becomes relaxed yet undeniably chic. We think it looks great with a sleek midi skirt and coloured tights if you want to go all out. What's more Christmassy than being all wrapped up with a bow on?
