The holidays are here, which means invitations are rolling in, parties are on the calendar, and it’s time to make sure your style is as sharp as your RSVP. Whether it’s the office holiday party, a family gathering, or a night out with friends, you want to walk in looking like you own the room. The secret? It’s all about the details. From a fresh cut to the right scent, here’s your ultimate guide to holiday party prep.
Step 1: Start with a Fresh Cut
Nothing sets the tone like walking into a holiday party with a clean, fresh cut. Visit your local Tommy Gun’s ahead of time. You don’t want to leave it to the last minute when shops are packed. When you visit, your barber can not only give you a style that suits your face shape but also recommend the right products to recreate the look at home.
Step 2: Nail the Style
A cut is just the foundation; you need the right styling game plan. Sleek and polished? Textured and modern? Effortlessly tousled? The key is using professional-grade products designed to hold all night without weighing you down. From matte pomades to styling sprays, your barber can recommend what’ll work best for your hair type and the vibe of your event.
Step 3: Attention to the Details
Holiday parties often mean close encounters: hugs, handshakes, and photos. Don’t overlook the small stuff. Keep your beard shaped and your neckline clean. Moisturize so your skin is fresh, not dry and flaky. Try an Aveda Facial before a big event. It is 4 easy steps in 20 minutes to achieve newfound confidence and healthy-looking skin.
Step 4: Dress the Part
Your outfit is your first impression. Make sure it’s tailored to you, not just in size, but in style. Dark denim with a sharp blazer can be perfect for a casual night out, while a well-fitted suit is your ticket to standing out at a formal event. The right fit makes all the difference between looking put together and looking like you borrowed your dad’s closet.
Step 5: Choose Your Signature Scent
No holiday look is complete without a cologne that turns heads (in the right way). Go for something sophisticated, warm, and memorable, think notes of wood, spice, or amber. The Spiced Vanilla Spirits Spritzer from 18.21 Man Made is a perfect scent for the holiday with its aroma of French vanilla, spicy ginger, cocoa, and tobacco blossom. A good cologne doesn’t just smell good; it finishes your style story. Apply lightly to pulse points so it lingers, not overpowers.
Step 6: Confidence is the Finishing Touch
When you’ve got the cut, the style, the outfit, and the scent, now it’s all about how you carry yourself. Walk in knowing you’ve put in the work to look your best, and let that confidence do the rest.
