The season of holiday gatherings and festivities is upon us. We’ll show you what to wear and how to dress for all those upcoming events.
A cosy dinner party with your closest friends calls for comfy attire with a chic flair. Pick your favourite pair of slacks or suit pants and match them with a shirt or lightweight knit. For those sultry summer nights, switch to chinos a linen or denim shirt, and brogues.
Are you celebrating another year around the sun with your friends? Unless there’s a specific theme for your get-together, opt for a classic shirt paired with khakis or denim, or dress it down with a t-shirt and some sleek pants. Dare to play it up with a brighter colour scheme or go tonal for a more sophisticated look.
The location of the wedding usually dictates the styling, but whether you are going to a wedding in the city, beach, or country, it's fancy enough for a suit. Summer styles can be in lighter shades and made from cotton or linen. If it is a less formal wedding you can go without a tie, but accessories like a leather belt, sunglasses, and a watch will always up the style game and finish off the look.
For small summer-themed parties, the best party dress for men is a casual shirt or polo, lightweight trousers paired with a sneaker. When choosing the shirt make sure it is a casual cotton or linen one, and even better if it’s short-sleeved. Here you could go a little more adventurous with a printed one, especially for summer barbeques. Layering is key here as you never know when the weather can cool down. Denim jackets and cotton bombers are always a good option.
This dress code is a bit higher maintenance than the others. The key word is to “look dapper.” This is what you need: a white shirt, black pressed pants with a matching dinner jacket (preferably with satin lapels), black patent leather shoes, and a black bow tie. If you want to do the full package, layer a waistcoat underneath your jacket, and embellish your look with cufflinks.
