What To Wear : Christmas Lunch & MEN

Christmas Lunch is a tough one for both men and women – it’s Xmas so there has to be some sort of ‘dressing up’, however it’s also the time for eating and enjoying family and this means there has to be a good measure of comfort. For some of us, the days tend to be long and involve switching from one event to another. I’ve already written about what women should wear – now it’s time for MEN.

I’m not differentiating between outfits for those eating in and those eating out, as I said, since a lot of people hop to more than one event, chances are that they’ll need an outfit good for both situations..

  • Don’t Wear a Rude/Religious Slogan T-Shirt

Christmas is a day for being at peace with others and spreading happiness, don’t try to antagonise anyone.

  • Don’t Wear Jogging Trousers

Chances are that your family members will be dressed smartly on this day, don’t be the only one wearing joggers and trainers. Opt for a pair of smart chino-style trousers instead.

  • Don’t Wear Tight Shirts

Christmas Day Lunch inevitably leads to a temporary expanding of the stomach…add that to an already tight shirt ..and we’ve got buttons popping all over the place.

  • Patterns might be a good idea

A lot of men I know are very talented at spilling sauce and other liquids onto their clothes…a multicoloured pattern is better at disguising such incidents than a block colour outfit.

  • Opt for a blazer
The great thing about a blazer is that it can be removed after it has served its purpose and made a great first impression.
And here’s some outfit ideas I’ve put together – hope I’ve been useful…
