Dressing for Cocktails.

"Going for cocktails has become an essential part of the lifestyle of busy, career-orientated people living in the city.  Dressing for such an occasion will call upon the more stylish, sleek and contemporary elements of your wardrobe.

Although it is no longer absolutely necessary to wear a suit, it is important to retain a degree of formality. Shawl collar suits, like the ones below, look like they were made for cocktail events, so if you have one, wear it.

Even if not opting for a suit, choose a stylish and crisp shirt paired with more formal trousers (no jeans!) and a pair of smart shoes. Whatever you do, do not go straight from work in an office suit to a cocktail party. Pack a change of clothes. A man should look refreshed and revived for these events.

Here’s a suggestions for a slightly less formal but equally elegant look."
