Craic'y Trend Report: Thanksgiving - Mens


CLICK THE PICS FOR A CLOSER LOOK


I decided that it's not fair that I let the ladies have all the fun so its time for the boys to have a turn. Here you have six looks to get you through Thanksgiving. Whether you are keeping it low key and casual or going for something a little more swanky, you're covered. Think about stepping it up a bit this season and straying away from the typical knit and choose things that have more visual interest; may it be a print, cut or texture. Don't be afraid to play with color such as the last look. Navy suiting is highly underrated and can look chic and fresh. The modern man should be look put together and polished...not like he just polished off a whole turkey by himself. Ditch your "eating pants" for a skinny pant that will keep you feeling just that throughout your feast. Hope to see some of these looks around the dinner table! What will you be wearing this Holiday season?
