We’ve seen your December, and it is full. Full of holiday parties. Full of rogue caroling. Full of... well, full of things that require you wear something with detachable fur. Below, all the festive wares you’ll need this season. Just let Santa know you’ve got this.
If it gets really cold out (or you’re going for a distinguished Eskimo thing this season), here’s what you’ll want: an Italian wool, double-breasted peacoat with alligator lining and a coyote fur collar. That’s detachable. Helpful if the holiday party you’re going to is PETA’s.
Cufflinks. The tried-and-true holiday party icebreaker (it was either them or the weather). For instance, take this pair made from circulated, 1940s-issued Atlanta trolley tokens. One reads “Georgia Power Co. Atlanta,” and the other, “Good for One Fare.” Also good for holding one shirt sleeve.
Not all parties are preplanned. In fact, the best ones usually involve very short notice, directions to a strange address and a password. For those times, you’ll need a trusty pair of leather-lined brown suede boots that’ll go with basically anything. Even a red jumpsuit.
If you’re going to carol this year, you’re going to need some sort of warm beverage spiked with whiskey. Also, you’re going to need this flannel scarf. It’s plaid. It’s red. It’ll keep your vocal cords warm enough to hit that high C at the end of “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer”...
There are a lot of ways to say you’re really into the holidays. The subtlest: these Christmas-colored pocket squares emblazoned with things like snowflakes, snowmen and penguins looking off into the distance. Wear that one if you’re feeling particularly pensive.
