Navy Polo, Olive Chinos, Navy Overshirt, Brown Loafer, Brown Leather Belt, Silver Watch. A smart combination for engagement party in temperate weather, with the lightest colour sitting closest to your face.
An engagement party sits between a dinner and a wedding. Smart and celebratory, a shade below what you would wear to the wedding itself. Mild weather is forgiving: a light layer that comes on and off is usually all you need. The men's read of this day comes down to a clean silhouette and a quiet palette; the fit does more of the talking than any single piece here.
- Save the full formal look for the wedding day.
- Carry a layer for the evening drop.
- A proper collar and a leather shoe carry more formality than any label will.
