Q: How do I dress up for a festive party without looking like I tried too hard (or not enough)?
A: The secret is balance. Pair a well tailored blazer with a crisp white shirt or a nice turtleneck, dark denim and polished loafers or Chelsea boots. Add a pocket square in burgundy or forest green for a festive touch. If it’s a more formal vibe, swap the jeans for tailored trousers and go for a velvet or tweed blazer—leaving everyone thinking, “This guy knows how to dress.”
When you look good, you feel good. And that energy doesn’t just boost your confidence—it brightens every room you walk into.
