Christmas Party Attire

Quick question-- I have my husbands christmas party and the dress is dressy casual. I have a few awesome tank tops that i can wear with nice black pants. They are not skinny straps and would look very nice and classy but is that ridiculous to wear a sleeveless shirt in winter. I dont want people to stare at me but i dont have the money to go buy a shirt for one day. I do have a back up long sleeve shirt but I would rather where a tank top because i feel more comfortable in it. I guess my question is, if you were at a party in Dec. and saw someone wearing a tank top with thick straps would you think they were crazy??? Thanks once again for your help

Hi L.,

Why not wear the tank beneath the Long sleeve Shirt, then if you feel comfortable take off the shirt.

I think it's totally acceptable to wear a dressy tank in the winter. Many dresses are similar anyway. As long as you wear a skirt or long pants & look dressy head to toe, you're good! Have fun!

All the department stores have out tons of sequined and satin tanks for holiday attire. I would go for it! I have had a hell of a time finding something I wanted to wear out for a party...I almost went with the tank instead of a dress.
Have fun and Happy Holidays!

I went to my office party last night and several women were wearing dressy tanks and sleeveless shirts with black pants. Every one of them looked great and totally festive. Go for it.

I don't think that's ridiculous. Women wear all sorts of dresses/gowns etc for parties and not all of them have long sleeves. I have been to plenty of business Christmas parties and you will not be looked at weirdly for wearing sleeveless tops.

Enjoy the party :)
