Leave the novelty jumper at home.
Your work’s Christmas party is a key date in the social calendar, a chance to throw off your uniform and get to know your colleagues better… and maybe even spark that office romance with Sarah in marketing.
One of the most important parts of making the right impression is dressing well for the occasion.
Avoid the novelty Christmas jumper and flashy colourful shirt and showcase your stylish side with leading menswear label Remus Uomo.
The perfect selection
Their new AW15 range has everything you’ll need to make the right impression this Christmas.
First off – it’s all about layers. Starting on the outside, if you’re going to be bar hopping you’ll need a good coat.
This Remus Uomo Peacoat is a timeless style staple and is available in navy or black. Alternatively, this tweed overcoat will give you a great, slim silhouette and some excellent detailing to keep you looking svelte and suitably warm as you move between venues.
Black pure wool peacoat €235 Slim fit white shirt €45 Black narrow width wool-silk woven tie €29.99
Grey slim fit wool mix overcoat with contrast under collar €249 Grey alpaca blend chunky cable scarf €49.99 Khaki tapered fit cotton pique short sleeve polo €68.00
Underneath, think carefully about your layers or you could quickly find yourself overheating as the night starts to hot up – start with a classic cotton shirt, dress it up with a tie, add texture and insulation with some fine gauge knitwear.
Burgundy slim fit Merino wool blend v-neck sweater €65.00 Grey tapered fit cotton shirt €59.99 Black narrow width wool-silk woven tie €29.99 Dark grey slim fit wool rich trouser with feature contrast stitch detail €99.95 Two colour (burgundy with black) leather Derby shoe €199.00
Classic crew or v-neck is always in style but for the more fashion-forward, this “square necked” sweater is perfect over a grandfather or penny collar shirt.
Slim fit square neck sweater €59.99
For a knit with a difference, a turtle neck paired with a suit jacket gives a subtle nod to the current trend for all things 70s and is a suave way to keep warm and look good.
Grey with burgundy overcheck slim fit wool-rich mix and match suit – Jacket, €235; Waistcoat €80; Trousers €110 Burgundy slim fit merino wool-blend turtle neck sweater €69.99 Plain burgundy pocket square €12
This trainers and trousers combo defines ‘smart casual.’
Navy slim fit crew neck sweater €79.99 Grey slim fit wool trousers €99.95
But you can take it to a higher level with some high quality leather footwear. A classic brown brogue works for any season but these oxblood brogues are perfect for Christmas, adding a dash of understated colour to set you apart from your workaday colleagues.
Burgundy leather wingtip brogue with blake stitched leather sole €189
This Black leather Chelsea Boot hits smart casual head on and is the perfect balance between sturdiness and style.
Black leather Chelsea boot €135
