Last-Minute Holiday Party Outfits Easier than Trump’s Hair

No time to plan your holiday party outfits? We've got your back.

For those that can't even right now, don’t go popping the cork on that stress relief juice (wine) just yet. It’s actually not that difficult to pull together last-minute ensembles that look anything but last minute.

Aside from following the dress code, the key is to keep it simple. Instead of overcrowding your outfit with loud pieces, let one statement piece do the talking, like a studded shirt or colored jeans. This way, you can easily match it with basics you already own. Simple, right?

Just scroll down to get ideas for men’s holiday party outfits that are way easier to create than the unsolved mysteries of Trump’s comb-over. 

1. The Office Party 

attire: business casual

Does dressing for your office party feel like torture? Not anymore. Try dressing up the workwear you already own, paired with accessories you don’t normally wear 40 hours week. Instead of the regular necktie, try a houndstooth ascot or plaid bow tie. If you want to lose the tie altogether, you can always ditch the stuffy suiting accessories for men's jewelry. Consider accessorizing a shirt with a bold necklace instead of a tie, or a chunky cuff instead of cufflinks.

2. The Family-Dinner Party 

attire: everyday trendy

The family dinner is typically the most laid-back look among holiday party outfits for men. It’s the only place to break out those stretchy eating pants, but don't bust out those college sweatpants too soon. As an alternative, any pair of cool joggers for men in a bold pattern or print will keep your lounge outfit looking trendy, bold, and – most importantly – comfy. If you’d rather go with denim, we recommend jogger jeans (a jogger-and-jean hybrid) with embroidery or patches.

3. The Lounge Party 

attire: sexy partywear

If you’re partying away the holiday season at a club or lounge, this is the time to kick up your holiday outfit with a sexy statement piece. You can easily make your jeans or pants the wow factor of your next going-out look. For venues causal enough for denim, try men’s skinny jeans with fly accents, embroidery, or graphics. If it’s an upscale club, skinny-fit patterned pants are a sharp alternative for casual jeans.

4. The Themed Party 

attire: holiday festive

Themed parties are all about getting decked out in men’s holiday party outfits that scream festive spirit. You can’t really go wrong with a knit sweater that’ll work at both ugly-sweater and non-themed Christmas parties. If you’re looking for something bolder than the traditional ugly-sweater, try playful themed onesies or plaid utility kilts for a holiday look that’ll really stand out.

5. The New Year’s Eve Party 

attire: semi formal 

Whether you’re going out or staying in, any NYE party calls for a statement piece that’s got some bling or flair. You can either go with a sexy shirt or bold shoes, depending on what you’ve got in your closet. Nothing says you’re ready to finish the year with a bang like embellished shirts finished with studs or sequins. If you’re more of a shoe guy, choose dress shoes in a bold color to make your NYE holiday party outfits pop.
