Chances are, your office holiday party this year is a low-key affair—at least compared to the sheer excess we got used to in pre-Covid times. Remember when dates were invited? Or when open bars went longer than two hours? Those were the days.
Even if your holiday party is relatively casual, you’ll want to arrive in your most stylish cold-weather gear. This is the opportunity to remind your friends and colleagues that you do indeed have exquisite taste.
Our editors have rounded up 10 of our favorite menswear picks to rock this holiday season, from timeless timepieces to cozy cashmere sweaters. Party on.
