Men’s festive outfit ideas largely depend on whether the dress code is strict or relaxed..
For a black tie event the dress code is strict – a tuxedo, white dress shirt and bow tie.
But for events with a more relaxed dress code, this is the time for you to express your dapper individuality. The blazer is a fabulous sartorial piece perfect for festive events, looking good with either trousers or a pair of jeans. We’ve gathered a few blazer choices that say fun sartorial partywear.
