long sleeve midi dress formal The Black Square Neck Flare The flattering Mac Duggal Women's Polka Dot

These wrinkle-proof crepe trousers may not be super stretchy around the waist, but the drapey fabric and wide-leg silhouette makes them comfortable to sit in for hours

Opt for a bright color or outwear with interesting detailing, like ruffles or colorblocked materials, rather than a boring black windbreaker

The contrast of the on-trend dress and the classic boots is perfect for winter celebrations, and I'd add a leather trench for venturing outside

Note, knee high and not over the knee boots

Finish off your look with some black pants and brown loafers, and you have an outfit ready for the office or any semi-casual event with your friends
