Four Men’s night out outfits to bookmark
Finding the perfect men's night out outfit isn’t easy, especially when we’re still between summer and autumn (officially, it starts September 23rd, 7.49am by the way). Here’s five ideas to cover five occasions: whether it’s date night or hitting the town, these looks will help you feel sharp, confident and ready for whatever. We’ll “cheers” to that.
After-Work Drinks
Smart-casual isn’t the easiest of dress codes but you’ll nail it with this look that’s perfect for post-5pm plans. Start with the outerwear - namely, a peak menswear piece – the Harrington jacket. Cast in cool navy and crafted from textured linen blend fabric, it makes for an autumn(ish) layer that’s lightweight, sporty and ready to be paired with smart trousers and minimalist tees and trainers. Don’t be surprised if Mark from Finance wants to know where you got everything.
The First Date
The pressure's on to make a stellar first impression without looking like you tried too hard. The secret lies in this outfit trifecta: a knitted polo shirt, plisse-textured trousers, and trusty trainers. Not only is it the perfect blend of smart-casual (there goes our favourite dress code again), but it’s also pretty comfortable, so you can focus on getting to know your date without constant wardrobe adjustments. A knitted polo shirt is the ultimate transitional piece for summer-to-autumn, so you’ll be wearing it long after the season’s through. Paired with the fabric of the season (plisse, AKA micro pleating) and laid-back trainers to temper the “fashion”, you’ll exude nothing but cool confidence. Call us when you get a second date.
The Big Reunion
“I’m free in October” has finally rolled around, the group admin has even booked a table at that fancy new bar that’s opened up. It’s time to bring out the big guns when you haven’t seen everyone in so long. Tap into the latest menswear trend: slightly sheer shirting. Even the King of Disappointing Glares, Cillian Murphy, is into it (we spotted him in a see-through number for the Oppenheimer premiere, and it was great). Try this devoré style on for size: it’s borderline see-through and promises to keep the air flowing if you get a bit heated. Match the easy-going vibes with a pair of twill trousers, and leather loafers for a sharp sign-off.
The Friday Night Gig
Whether you’re seeing your best friend’s disco-trap setup in a pub backroom or a stadium tour of your rock’n’roll idols, men’s outfits for concerts don’t get much better than this. First up, let's talk about the printed shirt. If you’re headed out on your own, it's like a wearable conversation starter. In a big group? You’ll stand out if you lose everyone. Stiff jeans won’t be comfortable. Go smasual in a pair of chino trousers and trainers with your shirt, so you can dance like no one’s watching 🕺 The Western-inspired jacket in toffee brown will keep you cosy once the cold night air hits you. It’s versatile, it’s warm, and you’ll wear it again and again. We can promise you that.
