With a little over a month until Christmas, the run-in to the final stretch is all about the parties. Whether it's the annual office blow-out, or festive fun with friends, it's all joy and good tidings from here. What does that mean for your wardrobe? Well, it's a good idea to have a little party curation on hand, especially for those official shindigs with work. Relaxed tailoring is always a good idea as it bridges the gap between casual and smart so you can go from the office to the bar or restaurant without requiring a change.
How To Win Party Season
One fabric that is absolutely brilliant for the party season is velvet. Rich, plush, and tactile, velvet suiting brings an undeniable touch of luxury to menswear, especially during the winter months when textures and deep colours are king. Known for its sumptuous feel and subtle sheen, velvet is as versatile as it is stylish, making it an ideal fabric for parties, no matter what you've got planned. From sapphire blue to mole grey and black, our velvet tailoring collection boasts a tactile sophistication that wool or cotton simply can’t match.
Typically, velvet has always been associated with sartorial eveningwear but that's changing. For casual looks, velvet jackets offer a refined edge without feeling overly formal. Pairing a velvet blazer with dark jeans or tailored chinos, for instance, strikes a balance between relaxed and polished that’s perfect for dinners, parties, or gatherings. But the velvet suit takes on a totally different character to the classic suit, striking a much more playful tone. Velvet’s texture adds visual interest without needing loud patterns or accessories, allowing it to make a statement all on its own.
It's practical for this time of year, too. The fabric is naturally insulating, and has a durability that helps maintain its structure, making it a long-lasting addition to a wardrobe if properly cared for. But above all, it’s a style statement that speaks to confidence and character. For those looking to make an impression at holiday parties, velvet suiting offers the perfect blend of class and comfort, proving once again that some fabrics never go out of style. Velvet is this party season’s power move.
