Party season is around the corner and we’ve got you covered for every occasion, from the office Happy Hour party to New Year’s Eve. It all starts by knowing what kind of dress is expected. If you’re unsure, it’s perfectly reasonable ask the host by saying you’re excited about the party and want look great.
Remember, proper tailoring is key to pulling off any style. Be sure your look is either custom made or tailored in the jacket body, sleeve length, and pant length. To keep up with slimmer styles, you can taper the pant legs a bit as well.
Here are a few of the latest looks for this season (see more in our Gallery):
This look will easily win you the Most Debonair Award for your event, whether it’s black tie, formal, or anything else! We custom make these dinner jackets in a number of colors. Red or green are most seasonally appropriate, but blue is favorite by our clients and is always eligible for another appearance during the year.
Update your black tie look with a shawl lapel dinner jacket, either as a full tuxedo, or as a white dinner jacket with black trousers. This nod to decades past men’s fashion will certainly enter a room with the charm of The Great Gatsby.
A three piece suit should be the most versatile item in your wardrobe, and easily leaves you feeling the most dressed up when the dancing starts and the jackets come off. You’ll still be looking dapper with your vest on.
For less fancy get-togethers, make an in-the-know fashion statement with a bold sport coat. Wear it with a solid black, grey, or navy pant and a solid shirt and either tie or open collar. If the party is more casual, keep the same look but wear a dark pair of jeans. Lighter colored jeans are for warmer months or a tshirt casual look.
Over the past year Bow Ties have made their way back into the well dressed man’s wardrobe. Try one out for a smart and festive look that will receive attention and compliments! We have many in stock from Chicago tie maker Lee Allison, stop in and we’ll give you an expert recommendation.
Aspire to a custom tuxedo, dinner jacket, three piece suit, or bold sport coat. Our Designers will give you the image you want and save you time.
