As we head into the festive season it has more of us with full calendars than ever before. Known as the party season for good reason, it seems like every night is filled with invites out for “Christmas drinks” whether this is with work colleagues, friends or family members. And it can soon get a little overwhelming. If you are battling a busy calendar this Christmas and wondering the best way to go about it, we have put together some top tips that are sure to help. Here you can find our guide to some top tips for a night out this festive season.
Accessorize to easily switch up your outfit
It’s likely that a few of your Christmas drinks this year will take place after work and that can leave you wondering the best way to transition from office wear to bar attire. You don’t necessarily want the hassle of having to bring a new set of clothes with you to change into for a glass of wine or two, but you also don’t want to look drab and formal (or too casual) beside everyone else. To combat this, utilize accessories to switch up your outfit. From authentic Irish jewelry to add a splash of color, to glitzy pieces draped in sparkles, these can instantly dress up your ensemble. Swap your shoes to heels and your outfit can look totally transformed from corporate wear!
Don’t be afraid to say no to plans
It can be tempting to say yes to every night out that comes your way this Christmas season, but soon it’ll lead to burnout – both to your own feelings and also to your wallet. To avoid this, don’t be afraid to say no to any plans that you just don’t fancy, or only say yes to one or two a week. This helps to keep it a lot more manageable and you also have time to spend with your family and kids at home!
Switch to mocktails or non-alcoholic alternatives
If you are going out a lot, alcoholic tipples can get a bit much. To get into the festive spirit but without the hangover, don’t be afraid to switch to mocktails or non-alcoholic alternatives. There have never been so many different options to choose from and these will enable you to enjoy your night and get involved, but also not have to drag a sore head into work the next morning. It’s a win-win situation!
These are a few top tips that should help you make the most of your nights out this festive season. With so many things going on, you’ll be forgiven for feeling a bit burnt out, so be sure to take time for yourself and don’t be afraid to say no if you just don’t fancy it. The Christmas season is likely to be busy with visiting family and friends so you don’t want to tire yourself out before it even comes to the big day!
