A gentleman’s guide to dressing for Christmas day

It's the day after tomorrow. So what's a man to wear?

The build-up to Christmas is always ridiculous. Months of preparation are taken to make this very moment count and if you get it wrong, you’ve got a whole extra 365 days to go before you can make up for it. So, what should you be wearing?

If you’re going to church this Christmas, good for you. You might be being dragged there by your in-laws or your grandparents, but regardless of whether or not you actually want to be there, you still need to dress the part. Remember, the church is going to be filled with stylish and smart people, and you certainly don’t want to be the one looking out of place…

Whether you’re going to church or not, Christmas day is the perfect excuse to dress up a little bit. If you’re going to someone’s house, there’s even more reason to put on a jacket and make the extra effort. And if it’s your in-laws, there’s absolutely no excuse.

If you’ve got the luxury of staying home, the likelihood is that you’ll still have people to entertain or someone coming into your home.
