Lose the Holiday-Inspired Accessories
Less is certainly more when it comes to male accessories during the holiday season. Santa Claus and his Reindeer do not need to make an appearance on your outfit; instead, go for a sleek, dressy, casual look and introduce the 2-3 open button-down or turtle neck (not the mock, but one that actually folds down).
If you do feel the need to wear a tie, try a bow tie for a change. Perhaps don a handkerchief—big enough to be seen and small enough not to make a dramatic impact on your ensemble.
