ScarfBurgundy Cashmere Roll-neck, Navy Wool Trousers, Navy Wool Overcoat, Black Derby, Grey Wool Scarf. A formal combination for prom in cold weather, with the lightest colour sitting closest to your face.
Prom rewards a single strong look. Decide the silhouette first, then the colour, and keep everything else quiet around it. 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.
- Comfort matters: you will be standing and dancing for hours.
- 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.
