Holiday Clothes for Your Holiday Parties

Holiday-party season is upon us, which means you’re going to need something festive to wear. Something like a snowman pocket square and reindeer cufflinks. And, maybe, some actual clothes.

A Reasonably Red Wool Blazer
FOR THE DINNER PARTY

A Reasonably Red Wool Blazer

There are red blazers. And then there are red blazers that you would actually wear. This is one of those. A three-button wool/cashmere blend from Brunello Cucinelli that you’ll want to wear to the holiday dinner table. Just try not to spill on it, though.

A Sweater Made from Alpacas
FOR THE FIRESIDE GATHERING

A Sweater Made from Alpacas

It’s inevitable that you’ll attend an ugly-Christmas-sweater party this year. So you might as well stand out. With something not ugly. Like this incredibly soft 100% alpaca sweater hand-knit in Bolivia. It’s even got some alpacas on the front. For proof.

A Pocket of Holiday Cheer
FOR THE RUM-FUELED CAROLING

A Pocket of Holiday Cheer

Your coat pocket isn’t just for holding pens and theater tickets. It’s also for decorating with seasonally appropriate handkerchiefs adorned with Christmas holly and scarf-clad snowmen doing a little downhill skiing. So, right, you don’t want to sneeze on it.

Pocket Squares, $90, Rye 51, 3699 McKinney Ave, Ste 310, 214-780-0202

Slippers... of the Festive Variety
FOR THE ALL-NIGHTER

Slippers... of the Festive Variety

Just because a party calls for formal attire doesn’t mean you can be bothered with lacing up your shoes. So it’s a good thing Hadleigh’s has some new slippers for you. They’re handmade red-and-green tartan wool with a blue leather lining. Hopefully it doesn’t snow.

Tiny Reindeer on Your Wrists
FOR THE UNDERSTATED AFFAIR

Tiny Reindeer on Your Wrists

Sometimes it’s the little details that make the biggest difference. Like which brandy you put in the eggnog. Where you place the mistletoe. And whether your shirtsleeves are fastened shut with a pair of vintage reindeer cufflinks. Yeah, those may start a conversation or two.
