Holiday dressing
exudes personal taste, flair and a respect for the occasion. It’s something to
be celebrated and, like an elaborate holiday meal, is easy to identify when
either effortlessly presented — or a bit overdone. Also, for
better or worse, style highs and lows are usually captured in photos, so ensure
that documentation of your sartorial decisions is memorable for all the right
reasons.
Few things are as
powerfully understated as our velvet tuxedo jackets — you’ll feel it the moment
you slip one on. Wear to an event, dinner or any gathering and appeal to any
dress code. Pair with our cashmere turtleneck sweater for a suave appearance of
international dash, a piqué dress shirt and trousers for ease, or a tuxedo
shirt paired with a Black Watch tartan, velvet or Prince of Wales bow tie
instantly transforms. Take things up two degrees with our shawl-collar jacket.
And, we highly suggest
a pair of velvet slippers. They’re a natural pairing for a tuxedo, but also
trousers (and even jeans). You can even wear them to breakfast on holiday
mornings and, as seasoned slipper-wearers know, will likely receive an
unexpected amount of respect. These may be new territory for some, yet they
work well on all.
For a daytime look
that holds the same polish but feels more appropriate for a holiday luncheon,
pair our flannel trousers and sport shirt with a knit tie, a plaid sport coat
and cordovan tassel loafers, Chelsea or chukka boots. Toss on a tartan barn
coat or cashmere wool overcoat.
One of the best
efforts of the season is a pair of tartan pants, paired with our cashmere
turtleneck or shawl-collar sweater and a beautiful pair of our Italian-made
shoes to keep things balanced. For added flair, ’tis the season to layer
on the Black Watch and Prince of Wales, velvet and flannel, for your finest
combinations of holiday style.
It’s the time of year when style possibilities are part of the festivities: The conventional mingles with the unexpected, patterns and textures are as joyful as the season, and, best of all, everyone’s invited to join the party!
