Everything you need for an impeccable holiday outfit
We're all looking to get out and celebrate this time of year. It's the season of giving and spending time with our loved ones. We can't all be at home with a glass of eggnog in hand (but wouldn't that be nice?), so many people will be traveling soon. Whether you're taking your first trip or just looking for new ideas, we've got four outfits that will help you look great during the holidays!
Smart casual outfits for post-work pub party
The first outfit is a classic, easy-to-wear look that embodies the elements of fashion and sophistication. It's also perfect for those who are new to the world of fashion or want something simple and stylish to wear without worrying too much about how they look.
This outfit consists of the following:
- A tailored casual shirt like oxford shirts
- Navy or black custom-tailored chinos
The casual dinner party at home
You'll find it surprisingly easy to dress up with a woolen pullover, dress shirt, and tailored pants. Elevate the look by choosing from various colors and styles, for example classic white, deep navy, and soft grey.
If you're looking for something a little smarter, why not try a cardigan? This versatile piece is a great way to add some color to your outfit and is perfect for layering.
Festive business casual outfits
What's better than a tailored three-piece suit? Not much.
If you're going to be stepping out in a three-piece suit, then it's imperative that your clothes are tailored to fit you exactly right. A suit that is too small will look out of place and uncomfortable, while one that's too big can make you look like a child playing dress-up.
While there are definitely some occasions where wearing an ill-fitting shirt with a suit is acceptable (a casual Father's Day brunch at home), if your goal is to look sharp on the town, then avoid them at all costs. It's not worth risking looking like an imposter by wearing an ill-fitting shirt.
Dressing appropriately for an event is always important. If you're going to a casual Christmas party at a friend's house, it's best to wear something other than a suit or sport coat. However, if you're attending an upscale holiday party in a city hotel ballroom and have been invited by someone who tends to dress more formally than most people, then it would be appropriate to wear formal attire. No matter your fashion sensibilities, we hope these tips will help you look great during the holidays.
Having this balance between dressing up and dressing down while still being yourself is key when navigating any social situation—especially during the holidays when there's so much pressure on us to look our best.
We hope these tips will help you look great during the holidays!
