Don of the dance floor: 30 key menswear items to update your party wardrobe

Men’s partywear and where to shop for it can often feel like an overwhelming task: wading through a swamp of sequins, only to buy something you’ll never wear again. This doesn’t have to be the case. Picking an outfit for New Years Eve or the office Christmas party can be as easy as opting for a wide-fit pair of smart trousers, adding a brooch to your jacket or pulling on a pair of heeled boots. Where to look is also often as important as what to look for. Independent brands like a.v. vattev and Ahluwalia offer embellished shirting and knitwear that can elevate your evening attire without looking like you’ve taken a trip to the fancy dress shop. Oh, and don't forget to add a simple chain necklace or ring to your look – Jacob Elordi, A$AP Rocky and Austin Butler are rarely seen on the red carpet without a flourish of jewellery.
