Esquire’s Holiday Attire Suggestions

Esquire’s Holiday Attire Suggestions

Love or hate the holidays, you’ll most likely find yourself at more than a few gatherings in the next couple of months.  The guys at Esquire Magazine have clothing suggestions for every scenario, from Christmas in the woods, to a black tie affair.

Click here for the suggestions.

And now, my respectful disagreements, by slide number.

#4  Don’t just watch, actually chop the wood.  It’s good for you, and incredibly satisfying.
#14 That sweater is old-manish.  Try this instead
#18 If you’re the only one wearing a blazer, why take it off?  Your friends shouldn’t be too concerned about what you’re wearing.  And if you take it off, it looks like you’re too concerned with what everyone else is wearing.
#29 Pleated Shirts will hopefully go the way of pleated pants at one point.  To the trash.

A fine list all and all.  Most of it is way too expensive as usual, but perfect for idea starters if you just don’t want to think about what you should wear to any given event.
