Christmas Party Outfits

Holiday party clothes, sharp tailoring, silk and velvet separates, and sterling silver jewellery from independent boutiques.

Christmas party outfits combine sharp tailored jackets, fluid pleated trousers, and rich velvet separates that catch low room light. Clean drape balances dark silk tops against heavy wool trousers in black and deep blue. Velvet was historically woven from silk and was used for royal robes and church vestments.

Homme Plisse Issey Miyake sews each piece first and pleats it after, so the pleats hold and the cloth does not crease. Coperni is the Paris label of Arnaud Vaillant and Sébastien Meyer. Sulvam, started in Japan by the pattern maker Teppei Fujita, takes classic tailoring apart and leaves raw edges.

Sterling silver rings and heavy chain jewelry add cool hardware against deep textures. WDLT117 in Toronto brings most of the clothes and Tom Wood silver, Utopia in Toronto brings Chrome Hearts rings and pendants, and Due West in Toronto brings Emanuele Bicocchi silver and A.P.C. jeans.

Common questions

What fabrics work best for Christmas party outfits?

Deep velvet, crisp wool, and flowing silk create contrasting textures under evening lighting. Sterling silver accents finish the dark tones with cool shine.

How do you wear tailoring to a holiday party?

Pair a sharp black blazer with relaxed pleated trousers and a soft silk shirt. Heavy silver rings bring weight to the clean lines.

Which designers make holiday party tailoring?

Homme Plisse Issey Miyake makes pleated jackets and trousers that hold their pleats and do not crease. Sulvam takes classic tailoring apart and leaves the edges raw.
