What Style Bag Works Best for A Holiday Office Party?

Style Tip: A refined shoulder bag

Dressing for work often calls for finding the right balance between professional and an expression of personal style. Holiday parties are no different, though if your office is throwing a party with a theme, you may have the opportunity to go in a more festive direction. You can't go wrong with a shoulder bag in a minimalist silhouette; when crafted from ultra-luxurious leather with just the right amount of slouch, it will read effortlessly refined without looking too buttoned-up.

Versions with chain-link straps or quilting will dress up even the most casual outfits.
