5 PARTY LOOKS FOR THE FESTIVE SEASON
By Izzi Draper, 1 December 2024
It’s that time of year when your calendar is starting to look something like this: Monday, out for dinner. Tuesday: get-together with friends. Wednesday: office party. Thursday: movie marathon. Friday: big night out. All you need now are the 'fits to match. But there's no need to stress, we've got you. From men’s Christmas shirts and suits to festive jumpers, scroll to start checking holiday looks off your shopping list.

#1: THE OFFICE PARTY
Looking for a men’s Christmas party outfit that your colleagues will still be complimenting come Monday morning? You’re in luck. A satin suit is winter’s answer to linen: it's smart and timeless. Plus, this one from ASOS DESIGN is in this season's trending shade – burgundy. Dress it up for your office party with a shirt and polished shoes or keep it effortlessly cool with a vest and trainers. If burgundy isn’t your colour, we’ve got plenty of other occasionwear options to choose from, too.

#2: THE PUB MEET
The friends you haven’t seen in months are *finally* under one roof for the big festive catch-up at the pub. And unless you’re ready to sprint for the seat next to the fire, updating your outerwear (that also works as insidewear) is an absolute must. Enter: the shacket – it’s your ultimate warm-but-not-too-warm companion. It’s smart without being over the top and pairs perfectly with a trusty tee-and-trouser combo.

#3: THE NIGHT OUT
A plain shirt? That’s for any day of the week. For 2024, we're going BIG with men’s partywear – think lace, sequins, bows and more. Occasionwear brand Sister Jane seriously got the memo with this embellished shirt. Pair it with some smart trousers and you’ll be ready to party. And if you're thinking about a New Year’s Eve outfit – it works for that too.

#4: THE NIGHT IN
Crack open the chocolates, dust off the board games and throw on your new comfy-but-cool Christmas outfit. A festive-ish jumper (you know, one you can wear past New Year's) is always a good choice for max comfort. The Fair Isle pattern on this Barbour knit gives a subtle nod to the festive season without being *too* obvious.
