Sweater for "casual" Christmas party...

[PurseAddict79]

Ok so my 'new guy' invited me to a Christmas party his customer is having on Dec 5th. My guy is wearing dark denim and a dress shirt... and I'm trying to figure out what to wear.

Per his request, I will wear jeans (he specifically said no dress/skirt because this is a casual party).

I have it narrowed down to my William Rast crystal pockets in witch wash:

or my black True Religion Disco Divas:

So I found (and bought) these two sweaters...

(please forgive me for the terrible quality)

Red (not a deep red though) ruffle cardigan:

and this black sweater with like a sheer neckline (but not cleavage bearing) w/ sequins and beading... the sweater isn't a 'flat black'... its kind of shimmery

Thoughts?

I love the black sweater, but am thinking if I pair it with my TR's it may be too much black. My coworker said wearing too much black will make me look "old".

I love the style of the red cardigan but am not crazy about the color. I'd rather it be a deep, deep red.

I'm going to show my date both sweaters and get his input, but I'd like your feedback as well...

TIA!

I really love the red. I like the black one, but the red is more flattering on you.

Have a good time.

I think the red is better, both in color and in cut. Your shape could easily get lost in all the dark colors, and the red gives you a clearly defined bust and waist - very flattering.

I like the red one as well. I think the ruffles are flattering and it will look nice against the black jeans. Have fun!

I agree with wearing the red sweater!
I think that the black sweater may not be casual enough.
Have a great time.

Thanks everyone! My bf also prefers the red, so it looks like that's the one I'll be going with

Another vote for the red, just in case.
Beautiful color on you!
