Fashionable Party Wears For Men

Parties are the finest opportunity for anyone to display himself in the most eye catching attires. People love parties because with no restrictions and dress codes they can exhibit themselves as highly fashionables among prestigious guests. But following few tips of part attires will make you the most glittering star in any parties. Cocktail parties are the new trend in the corporate living. Dressed up in style and elegance will definitely bring impressions on you from everybody. For cocktail parties, it is a common trend that people wear suit and tie. It is always preferable to ask the host what the dress code is for the particular event. What ever be the dress you wear, make sure that it suits you well rather than wrapping up with something that make you look like a buffoon.

For men the general cocktail attire means suit and tie, or coat and tie. Colors and fabrics may vary with the season or with the location of the event. Evening cocktail parties are more formal than the weekend parties. Dress up casual business attire for a more formal after-work cocktail party. Add a blazer to khaki pants and a button-down shirt, or pair a sport coat with black jeans and a black mock turtleneck.

Switch sandals or athletic shoes for dark leather loafers or lace-up shoes. Go dressy business casual for a more formal late-afternoon gathering; opt for a suit in the evening and for a less formal event, wear a nice casual outfit in the afternoon and dressier business casual clothes in the evening. A cocktail party dress should transform you from a business executive to a smart looking person who loves to party.

Whenever you choose the dress think about the season. Wear lighter-weight fabrics and brighter colors for spring and summer get-together. Stick to dark, muted tones in heavier fabrics for fall and winter gatherings. Athletic socks and shoes are inappropriate for a cocktail party. Shorts are also not advisable even on summer afternoons. Opt for lightweight pants in cotton or linen instead. If in the invitation dress code is mentioned as semi-formal' or 'black-tie optional, a suit and tie may be the best option.

A decent pair of black trousers and a formal shirt will make the best attire of men for a cocktail party. You can always team it up with casual blazers and dinner jackets. One can wear linen, cotton and other light fabrics for an afternoon party. Evening cocktail party demands you to be much more classy and dressy. You can opt for a shimmery shirt with black, blue or any other dark colored pair of formal trousers. You can also go in for a black tie along with this attire. A good leather belt and clean shiny shoes will make perfect accessories. Formals are preferred for a dinner cocktail party. Stick to the colour theme of the party if there is any.

If you go with your wife of lover give extra attention to match your attires. Wear clean dresses which may look classy and professional. Looking professional doesn't mean that you should be dressed up in office attires. Even a simple T-shirt may make you professional if properly worn. When you select accessories like belt, hat watch etc... be assured that they match with your attires. Party events are of course not ramps to display all your fashion experiments but can be a bit fashionable but best fitting to the importance of the event. If you rend an eye on the simple things regarding your dress and accessories, doubtlessly you will steal the attraction of all eyes in the party.
