WatchCream Polo, Olive Chinos, Olive Overshirt, Brown Loafer, Black Leather Belt, Gold Watch. A smart combination for office holiday party in hot 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. In heat, fabric and fit matter more than layering. Go breathable and a little looser; light colours help but fabric helps more. 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.
- Natural fibres and a looser cut beat a lighter colour alone.
- A proper collar and a leather shoe carry more formality than any label will.
