If at this point in the movie you are far behind in planning for Christmas and haven’t thought about what you’ll wear to every meeting this month; business lunches, Christmas Eve, Christmas, New Years, New Years Eve and countless impromptu dates, sorry if you are taking this a little rude.
Yes, you might think that all these
inevitable meetings are still far away, but when you least expect them, they
will be right under your nose, and you are in front of the closet, not knowing
what to wear. But don’t worry, I’m not going to give you more work, but I’m
going to solve problems for you. So I came up with (with the help of some
stylist friends) a style guide to look perfect in every meeting. A variety of
looks for all occasions to make a good impression and, above all, to be proud
of yourself.
Make notes.
It's time to demonstrate the skill of
the dressing room, gentlemen. Now is the holiday season, and the only path is
incredibly sharp. From the best tips for wearing a tuxedo to an overview of
formal shoes, here's our guide to how good, no, how great to look for Christmas
and New Years.
So, whether you're heading to a
strictly black dance or need to get your smart clothes in shape for work, these
are the top five things to get you in style this season.
The tuxedo
The use of a tuxedo is associated with
the evening and celebrating important events at the end of the day and whenever
the ladies are attending a cocktail party or cocktail party, rather than for
ceremonies. If you are invited to a "formal" New Year's or Christmas
party, you should always wear a tuxedo and remember that "only the waiters
wear tuxedos at weddings."
The jacket can be double-breasted or
simple, with the only difference that the double-breasted is less formal. The
lapel should be black and may end in a pointed or rounded shape, but with the
same sheen and texture as the belt and bow tie we chose for this occasion. In
terms of color, it will officially be black, navy blue or white. Recently, a
jacket made of maroon velvet, navy blue or bottle green is in fashion. Every
tuxedo should have a pocket for a handkerchief or handbag in white, except that
the jacket is velvet, in which case we must match the chosen belt and bow tie.
The shirt will be white, with double
cuffs to accentuate our cufflinks and with a bow-tie collar to make it easier
to tie the bow tie.
A bow tie is a must. No tuxedo ties
and, if possible, the ones you tie are already prepared subtract class. The
size of the bow tie should be in proportion to the lapel of the jacket and the
collar of the shirt.
Tuxedo suspenders? Of course, but for a
functional reason: they will keep the pants in place so as not to expose the
shirt under the belt.
When it comes to shoes, always patent
oxfords, not ankle boots. There is nothing less elegant than a pair of trouser
edges sewn into the inside of an ankle-length boot.
The tuxedo
If your inbox is overflowing
with stylish party invitations and trendy parties at the start of Christmas,
then the best of five is for you sir, because this is your chance to lose your
temper looking stylish in the timeless classic of men's fashion: the tuxedo.
All men, no matter what they
do, will at one time or another have to turn to the incomparable style of
tuxedo. So if you don't have one of these in your wardrobe yet, now is the time
to invest.
When it comes to choosing a
tuxedo, there are three main options to choose from: notch lapels, visor, and
shawl. Peaked cuts add iridescent breadth to the bean trim, while shawl lapels
streamline heavier ensembles. The Notch style is arguably the safest option;
sitting somewhere in the middle, they are suitable for most body types.
Color wise, stay conservative
- black is timeless, while midnight blue offers a lot of personality and subtle
difference (but it probably won't match as many dress codes as the one above).
If you want to create a slim,
very sleek silhouette, style your all black number with a satin shawl lapel.
It's a classic, and its shape is flattering enough to cut your midpoint by a
few pounds if you're carrying some kind of festive weight. Try your best and
pair yours with patent leather shoes, a matching bow tie and a white Marcella
shirt with a stand-up collar or turtleneck.
You'll find top-notch options
(with matching first-in-class price tags) at Gieves & Hawkes and Tom Ford
(Bond's current pick), but luckily there are plenty of smart but relatively
inexpensive styles on the High Street, leaving you with tons of cash that you
can spend on a bottle of Moët to complement your look.
Velvet blazer
This is, without a doubt, the
star of the Christmas parties. Unlike a tuxedo, you can wear it to any event
and will always give you an urban and sophisticated look. Most people think
that velvet is a fabric, when in fact it is a structure found in many different
fabrics. It is a weft that takes on the fibers of a fabric when it has been
made in a specific way on a special loom.
Although velvet is almost
always chosen in dark colors because they enhance the vibrancy of the fabric,
navy blue and burgundy are the winners this Christmas.
When it comes to wearing it,
be inspired by the 80s for the night and the 90s for the day. 90s sports will
make you feel as comfortable as if you were in your pajamas, and 80s sequins
will give you the sophistication you need when the sun goes down.
You will definitely look like
this Christmas in a velvet jacket.
Velvet jacket
To coincide with the upcoming
season of in-depth reflection, companies such as Zara, H&M, Reiss and
SuitSupply have filled their shelves with an array of gorgeous velvet jackets
for the most adventurous dressing room partygoers. They are not only a striking
alternative to a low-key tuxedo, but they are also surprisingly versatile.
Choose a style that will be
thinner than a square one and will fit just like any other jacket to your suit:
the sleeves are not too long or short, the neckline is only at the waist, not
too wide or strictly narrow in the upper back and shoulders.
If you're a holiday peacock
with postcards, choose a gem color like purple, amber, or emerald.
Alternatively, if you're looking for a more characteristic shade, choose black,
blue, or burgundy. Wear yours as a direct replacement for a tuxedo or blazer.
You can also wear one to a party that doesn't require a very strict dress code
by wearing it over a turtleneck and pairing it with black denim.
