Boys are notorious for being bad planners and leaving things to the last minute. However, this is probably not something you want to do with your outfit for the office Christmas party. You might think nobody will remember what you were wearing any way, but remember: Sally from HR will tag you in every photo. Especially the ones of you hunched over a toiler bowl, egg nog running down your chin. Why not get it right and have a butchers at our pick of some of the best suits and jackets for this Christmas’ party season?
H&M £39.99
Let’s start of with a classic. This single-breasted jacket gives you instant va-va-voom, and you don’t need to look like this handsome chappy to pull it off, either. With the satin-lined lapels and sharp angles, wear this for instant sex appeal if you’re hoping to pull in the stationary cupboard when no one is looking. Clark Kent specs optional.
ASOS £100
The rounded edges on these lapels offer a slightly more up-to-date look, and when coupled with a crisp white shirt with rounded lapels to match, you won’t even need to wear a tie. Which is handy, because that’s just one more thing you’d have to take off looking like that. ASOS will even provide you with the trousers to match for a modest £50.
H&M £24.99
Velvet can be cool, I promise. This jacket would make Sean Connery’s incarnation of James Bond raise an eyebrow, it really just is that dapper. As if it needed it, the satin details give even more texture and a sense of the debonair. The light would look amazing reflecting of your lapels at the roulette wheel, catching the eye of some trophy femme fatale. See, told you James Bond would approve.
H&M £39.99
Normally, I steer my mates away from the colour white. Unless you’re really, really cool, then chances are you’re really, really gonna look like a tool. Things always look better on the models anyway, leaving you disappointed when you try them on at home.
However, this white tux style jacket is born to be paired with a black grandad style shirt, making anyone look fly. Probably.
TOPMAN Jacket £100, Trousers £50
I’m normally wary of clothing that uses words like ‘twinkle’ to describe itself. However, this suit from TOPMAN does look pretty tight (figuratively and literally). You can look like a member of notorious alien investigation bureau, the Men In Black AND sparkle under the disco ball.
