GlovesCharcoal Cashmere Roll-neck, Olive Corduroy Trousers, Camel Overshirt, Brown Hiking Boot, Burgundy Wool Scarf, Brown Leather Gloves. A smart combination for office holiday party in cold weather, with the lightest colour sitting closest to your face.
The office party is the one night you can push a little. Keep the base smart and let one festive piece, a texture or a deep colour, do the celebrating. Cold weather is about layers you can shed indoors: a knit under an overcoat does more for warmth and polish than one thicker piece. 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.
- One festive piece only; keep the rest of the outfit serious.
- The innermost layer is the one people see; make it a good one.
- A proper collar and a leather shoe carry more formality than any label will.
