Wear This Stuff to Your Holiday Parties

If you’re looking to make an entrance at this month’s many holiday parties, there are a couple ways you can go. 1) Arrive via a team of reindeer. Or, failing that, 2) just dress in something a bit more festive than usual. Like this stuff...

Velvet Pants, Dammit
FOR THE NOT-QUITE-BLACK-TIE PARTY

Velvet Pants, Dammit

Nothing wrong with a velvet jacket. Nothing at all. But when you really need to take things up a velvety notch, there’s these downright sultry trousers from Billy Reid, complete with horn buttons and a front watch pocket. And attitude.

A Hat That Makes You Six Inches Taller
FOR THE UBER-BLACK-TIE AFFAIR

A Hat That Makes You Six Inches Taller

If you’re going truly formal, might as well go all the way, with a hat that stands tall. Made of wool, this Goorin top hat has a curled brim and five rows of charcoal stitching. Just be careful. People may assume that hansom cab outside is yours.

In a Sweater Contest, This One Wins
FOR THE ICE-SKATING SOIREE

In a Sweater Contest, This One Wins

That’s you, turning double lutzes and triple axels. Okay, maybe not, but that’s definitely you looking good as you make a bunch of left turns on skates. Here’s this loud-but-not-too-loud lambswool sweater. It also conceals your elbow pads very well.

The Blazer You’ve Been Looking For
FOR DECKING THE HALLS

The Blazer You’ve Been Looking For

’Tis the season. For caroling, for sending cards... and for getting away with green blazers. Especially natty-looking ones like this, from the Richmond-based folks at Ledbury, who are popping up in Georgetown this month. It’ll go great with your mistletoe tie.

Almost Like Santa’s Own Scarf
FOR THE OUTDOOR HOT TODDY TASTING

Almost Like Santa’s Own Scarf

Just because you’re huddled around a courtyard fire pit sipping spiked apple cider doesn’t mean you can’t continue to make a statement. Look here: a statement-making scarf, which happens to be red tartan plaid. And cashmere. At the same time.
