The occasion wardrobe
A party outfit starts with the occasion
Not every party requires the same clothes. On a birthday you can often opt for smart chinos and a nice sweater, while a business event or chic party calls for a jacket or suit. Pay attention to the location, time and dress code, if any. The most versatile party outfits revolve around one strong piece of clothing, supplemented with calm colors and neat shoes. This way you look good without the outfit feeling exaggerated or uncomfortable.
01 / DRESS TO IMPRESS
Burgundy double breasted suit for a chic party
A double breasted suit in burgundy has a distinct but refined look. Combine with a plain shirt and dark dress shoes. The suit fits a festive dress code where color is possible. Keep accessories subtle so that the deep hue of the suit takes center stage.

02 / SMART CASUAL

A gray suit jacket and black chinos create a modern party look for a restaurant, birthday or company meeting. Wear a plain shirt or neat top under the jacket and match the shoes to the formality of the event. The two neutral colors provide a calm, luxurious base.

03 / RELAXED EVENING
Beige chino with a dark half zip
When the dress code is smart casual, combine a beige chino with a black or navy halfzip. The stand-up collar of the sweater makes the outfit neat without the need for a complete suit. Smart shoes or loafers complete the look. Ideal for informal parties where you want to look smart.

04 / NIGHT OUT

A black half-zip, black chinos and smart black shoes create an understated evening look.
05 / BUSINESS
Suit jacket with shirt
At a business party, a dark jacket with a white shirt provides a professional look.
06 / COLOUR
An olive green suit
For a party with room for color, an olive green double breasted suit can add character.
07 / CELEBRATION
Three-piece suit with waistcoat
For formal parties or anniversaries, a three-piece suit can be a suitable, elegant choice.
Style formula
Which colors work well for a men's party outfit?
Black, navy and anthracite are safe basic colors for the evening. Brown and camel provide a warmer, softer look. If you want more character, choose one accent color, for example burgundy, and keep the shirt and shoes neutral. Don't try to add too many patterns and contrasts at once; the result is often more elegant when one piece of clothing attracts attention.
From dinner to celebration
An outfit for a birthday, company party or gala
For a birthday or informal evening with friends, chinos with half zip or a smart jacket are often good options. At a company party, smart casual may suffice, but always check the invitation. A gala may explicitly require black tie or another formal dress code; then regular smart casual clothing is not suitable. Make sure you try on the necessary clothing well in advance of the occasion, so that there is still time to have the length or fit adjusted if necessary.
