Whatever the party, from your office shindig to an NYE bash, these are the groups you’re guaranteed to spot this silly season.
The OTTs
They’ve been counting down to this party all year, talking about it at every opportunity and they had their outfits ready weeks ago. They may even be doing a team uniform.
Telltale signs: Maxed out the theme. Dancing like nobody’s watching. Hogging the photobooth.
The Rebels
Too cool for forced fun, they’ve eschewed the theme of the party and stuck to their usual dress code. Most likely black.
Trademarks: Strictly no dancing. Hanging out by the bar. Conveniently already has plans, can't stay long.
The Prom Kings/Queens
Perfectly groomed and Snapchat-ready, the prom tribe is easy to spot at any party. They've taken the prettiest approach to the dress code possible and they stick together in a pack.
How to spot them: Taking selfies, freshly styled hair, excess of light colours.
The Last Minutes
They clearly forgot the date and did a dash to the dollar store at the 11th hour, grabbing the most obvious prop to suit the theme.
Look out for: Normal clothes, accessorised with novelty extras like a Hawaiian lei or a clichéd hat.
