Whether you have a packed schedule or just celebrate the holidays at home, the end of the year remains the season for many men to dress extra stylishly. Still, deciding exactly what to wear can be a puzzle. Will you go for the old-fashioned Christmas sweater, or would you rather look for something new? You don’t want to draw too much attention to yourself (unless it’s part of the dress code), but it’s also embarrassing to realize that you’re underdressed. That’s why we’ve selected festive clothing styles for your inspiration.
For a decadent Christmas
You have been invited to a luxurious dinner or a Christmas gala. It makes little difference whether you are dining with family, friends, or colleagues, you want to show yourself from your best side. However, a formal dress style is more than hoisting yourself into a men’s suit or tuxedo. It’s also good manners and, above all, exuding self-confidence. This is especially important if you have never worn such an outfit before. Make sure you put on the suit at least a week in advance to make sure it fits well, and to get used to it. This will make you feel less uncomfortable at the table or on the dance floor. One last tip: see if there is a dress code in effect. This will make your choice many times easier!
For a cozy Christmas
You’re not a fan of fancy Christmas parties, but at the same time there’s nothing wrong with dressing up nicely. It’s still a celebration, of course. For example, a plain shirt paired with neat jeans never looks wrong. Chinos are a neater alternative to jeans. If you want to make a statement this year, you can also add a printed jacket or a vest. With the right accessories you can give your outfit a stylish accent. Think along the lines of a bow tie or matching suspenders. If it does not have to be so chic, you can wear a pullover with your shirt. Because this look is neither too formal nor too casual, you will be appropriately dressed for most parties and get-togethers.
For a comfy Christmas
When the weather outside is frightful… Yes, nothing beats spending time with your family. Whether you’re faithfully watching classic Christmas movies or just pulling board games out of the closet, it’s all about comfort and warmth during these days. A wool sweater should not be missing in your outfit. Not only does it keep you warm, but it is also breathable, so you won’t find yourself with sloshing armpits at the end of the day. In addition, there is no reason why you shouldn’t opt for relaxed sweatpants. Do your feet get ice cold easily? Then merino wool slippers are a must this Christmas season! Going for a breath of fresh air between courses? Then don’t forget your warm hat, scarf, and gloves.
For a gaudy Christmas
Normally you pay close attention what your wear, but this Christmas, don’t bother! The crazier, the better. Fortunately, you can fall back on a wide selection of flashy Christmas sweaters and eye-catching party suits. Of course, you can also wear garments in the (bright) colors of the holidays such as red, white, and green. Don’t let glitter, sparklers, bells, and lights stop you. So put on the most obnoxious Christmas songs, go wild with kitschy Christmas decorations, and have fun!
