Style
All the sequins, velvet, and plaid you'd ever want.
You may be ready for 2020 to come to an abrupt halt, ushering in 2021 with a hopeful new outlook on the future, but before you do, it's time to hit the holiday party circuit — albeit virtually. Although celebrations this year won’t look anything like they have in the past, when you linked arm-and-arm with your besties, sang carols around the piano, and drank eggnog, you'll still want to show up decked out in your seasonal best and wearing chic holiday party tops that'll look great on Zoom.
That means breaking out the sequins, velvet, tartan plaid, and more. After all, no computer screen will stop you from looking amazing while sipping Champagne — and, yes, catching up with all your favorite people while playing Mariah Carey’s "All I Want for Christmas" in the background. Ahead, shop all the best tops to wear to every kind of Zoom holiday party. From office get-togethers to best friend hangs, close out this year with a sartorial bang if it’s the last thing you do.

1If You Love Jewels
If you can’t be bothered layering on jewels from the comfort of your own home, consider a top that has built-in bling for a throw-on-and-go solution to any holiday party.
2If You're A Cozy Sweater Girl
Sweaters more your thing than sequin camisoles? Try a knit top that features all the details of a blouse, from the cutout cuffs to the puff sleeves.
3If You're Obsessed With Plaid
There’s nothing quite like infusing a little plaid into your every look this season, and a holiday party is no exception. Bust out your favorite tartan pieces, which feel inherently festive, and get into the seasonal spirit.
4If You're Headed To An Office Party
Office attire but make it holiday party. If you can’t let go of your corporate uniform for your work celebration over Zoom, at least consider one with some subtle sparkle and ease of wear.
5If You Want To Be Luxe
Keep it simple and comfortable by way of a slim and slightly stretchy camisole, but get into the party spirit by wearing a piece made from luxe velvet with romantic bow-tie straps.
6If You Can't Get Enough Of Volume
Love not-so-basic black? You can still make a statement by wearing a top with voluminous puff sleeves and a silhouette that wows.
7If You're Classic At Heart
One of the best parts of a Zoom holiday party? No need to worry about the temperature outside. Grab your slinkiest camisole, fear not inclement weather, and simply raise a glass of your favorite bubbly beverage.
8If You Want To Turn Heads
For the girl who loves to go all-out, no virtual holiday party is going to stop you. Whether you pair it with a miniskirt or even just jean shorts (it's not like anyone will know the difference over Zoom), this embellished mesh turtleneck will do the trick.
9If You're Living In A Victorian Novel
Channel your inner Victorian novel heroine with a simple square-neck top featuring understated puffed sleeves.
10If You Love To Layer
Whether you pair it with ripped boyfriend jeans or layer it underneath a slip dress, a bodysuit is a great option for holiday parties and virtual coffee dates alike. You’ll love the no-fuss construction, which cuts down on unwanted bunching and untucking — especially as you sit down at your next Zoom cocktail event.
11If You Want To Stay Cozy
Just because you’re headed to a holiday party doesn’t mean that you have to go all-out when it comes to your wears, so feel free slip into a cozy knit. But consider one with a little extra puff sleeve or ruffle detail — just to make things feel a bit more festive.
12If You Love Color
If you’re very into color, grab a top that will have all eyes on you. With long sleeves and a pussy-bow neck, it’s totally winter-appropriate (though, sitting on your living room couch, does it really matter?). And while you’ll love this printed cotton blouse for your holiday party right now, you'll wear it long after the festive season is behind you.
