WHAT SHOULD YOU WEAR ON A STAG DO?

Stag do’s are relatively laidback affairs. You’ll probably spend most of your time eating, drinking and hanging out with your friends – so it’s best to pack a simple wardrobe that’ll serve more than one purpose. A basic white T-shirt and jeans will always form a flattering look, and you can easily switch up these staples with accessories. Bold pops of primary colour – like a red or blue cap – will ensure your simple outfit feels fresh, and you can never go wrong with a statement trainer. Tech-driven designs from Salomon and Asics are practical and trendy in equal measure – an ideal choice for last-minute stag do excursions or late nights exploring.

Some friendship groups are blessed with a type A personality – someone who has the skills and patience to organise a more formal stag do. This doesn’t mean you need to reach for the shirt and tie, but a slightly more planned-out approach is needed should you be frequenting fancier haunts. For the perfect smart-casual stag-do look, follow the half-and-half rule. Either formal on the bottom and casual on top, or vice-versa. Tailored trousers and loafers are instantly dialled down with the addition of a tee or sweatshirt, while your crisp button-down will feel less uptight when worn with jeans.

Heading abroad for your next stag do? Lucky you. If a sunny destination is on the agenda, reach for lightweight fabrics like linen and cotton in your relaxed silhouettes. A classic ribbed tank is also great to have on hand for effortless layering, and an oversized tote bag will house all your essentials for a day trip to the beach. In terms of footwear, a holiday stag do calls for breathable styles like the Birkenstock Boston or fisherman sandals – both durable choices that will stand you in good stead for a range of stag do activities.

We couldn’t talk stag dos without mentioning a night out. Most stag dos involve at least one wild night on the town, and this calls for wardrobe reinforcements. There’s no need to go overboard with your outfits here – just stick to your usual casual evening attire and you’re on the home straight. Think comfortable but stylish shoes – low-profile trainers are trending this season – and simple but quality staples like a rugby polo shirt or a structured denim jacket.
