The holidays are hectic enough without the annual panic of realising every invite seems to land on the same week. The work party is tomorrow, your mate's hosting drinks on Friday, there's a family gathering at the weekend, and somehow you've RSVPd to all of them. A little preparation goes a long way. The men's festive dressing edit is here to remove at least one item from the list.
For smarter occasions, think easy wins: a leather jacket, a good check shirt, denim and a pair of loafers or hard-bottom boots. The kind of pieces that work just as well once the decorations come down. For more low-key plans, textured knitwear does the heavy lifting. Chunky wool jumpers and zip through cardigans are festive without looking like you've made a theme of it.
