- Opt for Luxurious Rather Than Whimsical.
Holidays are an opportunity to indulge, not to have people sheepishly lie about liking your musical tie. This time of year, we can wear the clothing that’s normally too dressy for the work day. Instead of a Rudolph sweater, think rich colors, jewel tones, silks, satins, metallics, and sumptuous fabrics like cashmere. - Keep it Current.
While December is a great time of year to look back, that doesn’t necessarily apply to your attire. It’s always obvious when a garment has been sitting in someone’s closet for many years only to be taken out for the holidays. We’ve all seen the guy in a faded red turtleneck and baggy, rumpled, pleated olive green corduroy pants skulking near the cheese plate. Between the increase of events and the flow of eggnog, the holidays are an excellent time to network, so the last thing you want to do it look outdated. If you haven’t updated your party attire for a while, do so before you hit the party circuit. - Decorate Your Existing Classics.
You don’t need to buy a slew of new stuff to wear this holiday season, so long as you have great fitting basics that are in good condition it’s easy to dress them up with the right accessories. Simply add a jewel toned silk tie or pocket square in ruby, emerald or amethyst to instantly give your suit or sport coat a festive look. This works equally well with jeans which go from casual to dressy with the addition of an elegant sweater and silk necktie.
