Casual Dinner Party

Casual Dinner Party

Many dinner party invitations arrive without a dress code, which means you’re free to wear whatever you want. This gives you the opportunity to choose an outfit that reflects your personality – however, a word of warning: if you’re being treated to dinner and drinks, no matter how relaxed and informal the setting, you should not turn up looking as if you’ve just rolled out of bed. A party is still a party, and a certain level of grooming is expected.

In our opinion, the very best men’s casual party clothes start and end with a stylish top. For a laidback affair, a slim fit tee – V-neck or crew neck as you prefer – is perfect. There ain’t no shame in keeping things simple! Throw on your favourite pair of dark denim jeans or some wide-legged chinos for a comfortable but classic finish. Just be sure they’re not tatty or distressed: no dress code calls for beer-stained slacks that you ripped accidentally. Finish with a jacket – leather or bomber – and you’re good to go.

What To Wear To a Dinner Party

What To Wear To a Dinner Party

Dinner parties are amongst our favourite sort of social occasion: good food (at least when we’re not cooking, ahem), lively conversation, and free-flowing booze. But what are appropriate dinner party outfits for guys?

Smart Dinner Party

If your host has requested that you dress smartly – often known as cocktail attire – then they will be expecting you to wear a suit of sorts. Mid grey and darker dyed suits are most appropriate for the evening, although you could opt for a khaki coloured suit if the event takes place during the day. Wear with a slim fit shirt in a plain, light colour, leather dress shoes and a matching belt if you want to stick with the classics (just don’t wear your work clothes: invest in a party suit that is slicker and sharper).

Unlike the more formal white tie and black tie, however, a dinner party dress code does leave some room for interpretation. Whilst you should stick with a suit as the foundation for your outfit, you don’t necessarily need to be traditionally turned out. How about replacing a shirt with a turtleneck sweater, for example? Choose a roll neck in a dark, neutral colour – black works, though darker blues and maroons are less severe – and layer a blazer over it for a not-too-dressy, not-too-casual take on cocktail wear. Or why not replace suit trousers with smart jeans (dark, not light) for a meticulous medium? Ideal if you’re unsure about the dress code.

Beach Party

Beach Party

For all the fun in the sun, you can’t beat a beach party. And, best of all, style rules are relaxed at the seaside. Which isn’t to say you should rock up in your most radical Hawaiian shirt – this is still a party, and ‘ironic’ is not an excuse – but you can be more carefree than you might be in town.

For a sun-soaked daytime affair, prints, patterns and bold colours are de rigour. Just don’t go overboard. Match a plain tee with vibrant shorts, or vice versa. And don’t forget the accessories: sunglasses and hats are as practical as they are stylish.

Garden Party/BBQ

Garden Party/BBQ

In most cases, a garden party or BBQ is an informal gathering of friends, so you shouldn’t need to sweat too much about your outfit choice. This said, an outdoor occasion is obviously at the mercy of the elements, so be sure to check the forecast for the day of the party as the weather can have an impact on your attire.

For a daytime event, chino shorts or coloured khakis are a winner when the weather plays ball. On top, wear a well-fitted polo or stylish shirt – we dig lightweight denim for a sharp but laidback vibe. Smart sneakers or fashionable sandals will finish off the outfit with aplomb, and do remember a jacket in case it gets cold.

If the garden party takes place in the evening, a t-shirt, thin woollen sweater, plus a pair of dark jeans is ideal. A pair of loafers or boat shoes will keep the outfit summery but slick. Accessorise with a belt, watch and/or bracelet if you fancy, though all are optional: in our opinion, less is more.
