What to wear to a Holiday Party – Laid Back

What to wear to the casual and laid back Holiday party

Whether it’s a company Christmas Party, New Years, or just a bash at your house, over the next three days you’ll find three different suggestions on what to wear to one of the many holiday parties you’re sure to attend.

Location: Someone’s house, your favorite pub, a bowling alley, etc…

This one’s all about layering, shade contrast, and two simple patterns. Many guys assume that anything camel colored (aka, lighter brown leaning tan) has to be paired with other browns and earth tones.  That’s not always the case.  Camel looks great under a black or charcoal blazer, and the Express V-neck is slim and perfect for layering.  Just make sure you’re wearing black shoes like the ready for slippery sidewalks Florsheim Gaffney wingtip boot.

The pattern on Gap’s new windowpane tattersall shirt is big enough to not conflict with the much smaller and more subtle herringbone in the blazer, and the bold stripes on the watch are even bigger than the tattersall.  Go with the Levi’s 501 and its medium rise will hold your tucked in shirt better.

Nothing too showy, all extremely comfortable, much better looking than an old button up over a t-shirt.  Catch any of the major pieces on sale and you’ll save a bundle.
