Glam it up, guys: partywear for men – in pictures | Fashion

We’re a week into December and party season is in full swing. If you’re struggling with what to wear as an elderly conundrum, keep it simple. Black and white wood and experiment with texture, it is versatile to complement your outfit. Dolce and Gabbana’s AW24 collection is a master class in how to nail the look. Try contrasting textures for layering: silk under wool, or silk with lace adds a fresh edge to the look of the pieces. You can expect a black-on-black outfit to be the talk of the town every year. Reiss adds a black sequin jacket (4) without any extra flair and is attractive, styled with black trousers and loafers. Then there is the subtle s shiny tuxedo (8), another affordable look to wear. For the more daring fans, one of the key trends was the sheer bridge – from full chest-revealing transparency to more casual dresses, such as the Allsaints lace one (£119) and the white lace River Island (£46, main image above).

If the polish takes too much time to look for a narrative treatment, like Represent’s jacket-up (2), that will look sharp long after the last champagne cork has been popped on NYE. Ditto Zara’s styling separates and checkerboard everyday tabletop pieces, nightgown style, but swapped with wool for spring. For more formal events, leather blazers always look chic over a slim-gauge black rollneck.

Accessories are key to creating a party look, gold and pearls will lift a monochrome outfit, try Tom Wood for minimal pieces, Bleue Burnham for designs inspired by nature and Serge Denimes and Hatton Labs for trendy styles.
