When you’re dressing up to go out in the evening, it can often seem like there’s a whole different set of rules than exist for fashion during the day. In order to help you get things straight, we’ve put together a guide on how to create a great evening look for men. Possibly one of the most important aspects of this is getting the right pair of shoes. Slip on shoes or lace-ups are good, and try going for classic black leather as these will look good with any outfit.
Add to this great start with a brilliant sweater. We particularly love knitted V neck sweaters as they’re really versatile and available in pretty much any color imaginable so you could always buy a few and then mix and match depending where you’re going. You can also choose to get fine knit V necks that are great for evenings in spring or fall, as well as thicker knitted options that are perfect for keeping you warm and stylish in winter. They look good over either t shirt or dress shirt.
You can add instant sophistication to your outfit with a decent pair of pants. We particularly recommend a pair of chinos, which are great for any formal occasion. Likewise, dark denim jeans are equally great for slightly more casual evenings or for men who don’t like to be too smart about things. Dark colors probably work best here as it means they can be worn with pretty much any other outfit combination and going for classic styles means they’ll always look fashionable.
For a really fantastic jacket option for evening, you could try one of the classic styles of leather jacket available. You have loads of options here and can choose from jackets with zips or buttons as well as blazers, bomber jackets and more. If you get a good leather jacket, it will last for decades, so it’s a good financial investment as well as a sure hit in terms of style. Traditional black leather is best, so try and keep things simple.
Accessories may sound like a feminine thing but don’t worry, we’re not talking about jewelry. A couple of good accessories can really make all the difference to your outfit, so it’s worth giving them some attention. For example, on those cold evenings when you need to wrap up warm, a scarf with subtle strips can help create a cool masculine look. Also, a decent watch goes a long way to adding class to any outfit. Choose whether you want a leather or metal strap and it’ll go with anything.

Next time you find yourself shopping for jackets that will be both warm and stylish, keep in mind a few top styles that look fantastic no matter what else is in fashion and you can guarantee you’ll look fantastic. The jean jacket (or denim jacket) is always a popular choice, largely because it’s so versatile, meaning it can go with almost any outfit. You have the choice of light or dark denim as well as tailored options or a looser fit depending on your tastes and what suits you.
A great style of jacket that looks fantastic on any woman is the blazer. These are fantastic as they’re really well-tailored, meaning that the fabric will cling in all the right places and avoid the wrong ones. This will make you look slimmer. You could even go for a pinstripe option for even more slimming. Blazers are fantastic for formal events or the office, but they also look great with a cute pair of jeans and heels, so they’re an absolutely brilliant buy.
If you’re after a jacket that offers you loads of choice in terms of style and options then you can’t go wrong with the leather jacket. Whether you choose a blazer cut, leather trench, bomber or shearling jacket, you can be sure of looking fabulous. You could also go for softer grey or brown leather to create an alternative look to the all-time classic of black leather. This jacket is eternally popular with designers and women due to its versatility, so it’s a great choice.
A slightly more unusual choice next – the gilet. This is sort of like a waistcoat, but much trendier. It’s also great for evenings in spring and summer when you just want a light cover-up to throw over your outfit. If bohemian chic is your thing, then go for one made out of fur or a suede gilet with fur detailing, which is a very cool look. You could also go for a padded option, which is fantastic for those chillier evenings, and choose from a range of colors.
Lastly, you could also work the rock chick look with a great biker jacket. These are no longer just limited to bikers as they’re now available in a range of fantastic designs, including a more tailored jacket, which is great for a feminine look. The padding in the jacket will keep you warm, as will the great insulation and special design, which is fantastic for more extreme conditions. With so much choice, you can be sure of finding the perfect jacket for you.

For the fashion forward now is the time to start thinking of updating your wardrobe for Spring and Summer but you may be wondering what the key trends are for this season? The catwalks were dominated by several recurring themes and opting for these looks is one way that you can bring your look bang up to date. So take your pick from pleats, floral prints, 70s style or lace as these were the main themes seen on the catwalk for Spring Summer 2011.
Pleats were seen on dresses and skirts in many of the Spring Summer 2011 designer collections and this is a really feminine look that is easier to wear than you would think. Simple pleating is the way forward to avoid looking too fussy or adding bulk to your hips and these pleated dresses look great when paired with some ballerina flats or peep toe pumps. For daytime wear dress the look down with a slouchy handbag and a cropped jacket for a more casual look.
Prints on dresses are usually popular in the Spring and Summer seasons and this year is no exception. As well as stripe and animal prints the floral printed dress is the hot look for this season. Feminine and sophisticated tailored dresses with small print florals were prevalent on the catwalks or for a bolder look you could try one of the 70s inspired maxi dresses with a big bold flower print. Floral prints can look ‘busy’ so make sure you keep your accessories ultra simple when choosing this look.
The 70s have made a comeback for Spring Summer 2011 and this was one of this season’s strongest looks. The floral print theme crosses over perfectly into the 70s look and was seen on many of the flowing maxi dresses. A 70s inspired maxi dress is the perfect way to make a nod towards the decade if you are not brave enough to try the jumpsuits, culottes or wide flare jeans and can be a key look for your summer holiday wardrobe. Easy to wear, maxi dresses keep you cool in the heat and as they are forgiving so they flatter most types of figure. This is the perfect item for your wardrobe to update your look this season.
Lace dresses have been around for a few seasons now but the look remains strong for Spring Summer 2011. White lace was very popular on this season’s catwalks with some beautiful detailing on dresses. The look can be bohemian and flowing white lace with a 70s feel or fitted and chic for a more tailored look. If white lace isn’t for you then why not try one of the brighter colored lace dresses in hot pink or bright red? Lace is a great look for eveningwear and a dress in this fabric will ensure that your look is up to date.
