Holiday Menswear Made Easy: What to Wear to Every Festive Occasion
The holidays are here—and with them come invitations to galas, work parties, New Year’s Eve celebrations, and cozy dinners with loved ones. While the season is all about joy and connection, figuring out what to wear can feel like a challenge. That’s where we come in.
Whether you're dressing to impress or just want to feel confident and comfortable, Friar Tux, available through David’s (yes, that means Diamond Member Pricing and loyalty points!), has everything you need to look sharp this season. From classic tuxedos to modern accessories, here’s your guide to holiday menswear that fits every occasion.
When the dress code calls for black tie, it’s time to bring out your most refined look. These events are all about timeless elegance, so think classic silhouettes, luxurious fabrics, and polished accessories. Whether you're attending a charity gala or a winter wedding, Friar Tux has the pieces to help you own the room.
Style Tips: Stick with a classic black or midnight blue tuxedo. A shawl lapel adds timeless charm, while velvet jackets in rich tones like emerald or burgundy offer a seasonal twist.
New Year’s Eve is your chance to go bold. It’s the one night of the year where sparkle, shine, and statement pieces are not only welcome—they’re expected. Whether you're ringing in the new year at a rooftop party or a luxe lounge, Friar Tux has the looks that help you start the year in style.
Style Tips: NYE is your chance to go glam. Think metallics, brocade jackets, or a sleek velvet blazer. Pair with tailored trousers and a turtleneck or dress shirt.
Navigating the work party dress code can be tricky—you want to look festive, but still professional. The key is finding a balance between polished and relaxed. Friar Tux offers versatile suits and separates that let you celebrate with style while keeping things office-appropriate.
Style Tips: A tailored suit in navy, charcoal, or seasonal burgundy strikes the right balance. Add a tie for a professional vibe or skip it for something more laid-back.
Cocktail parties and date nights call for a look that’s stylish, confident, and a little bit fun. This is your chance to show off your personality with bold colors, luxe textures, and unexpected accessories. Friar Tux makes it easy to mix and match pieces that feel fresh and festive.
Style Tips: A statement blazer with dress pants or dark denim works perfectly. Add a patterned shirt or turtleneck for personality.
Holiday dinners and family get-togethers are all about warmth and comfort—but that doesn’t mean you can’t dress to impress. Friar Tux offers cozy, stylish options that feel festive without being too formal, perfect for everything from tree-trimming to toasting with cider.
Style Tips: Go for cozy textures and warm tones. A casual suit or blazer layered with a sweater or scarf keeps things festive without feeling overdressed.
No matter the occasion, the key to looking great is fit. A well-tailored outfit can elevate your entire look, making you feel confident and comfortable. Friar Tux offers expert tailoring services to ensure every piece fits like it was made just for you.
