Today we’re talking about how to best attire yourself over the next few weeks, as you tackle the waves of holiday parties, lunches, and black tie shindigs that are sure to ensue. To provide a bit of sartorial inspiration before it all hits, we’ve enlisted the thoughts of five friends with something to say: Alexandre Chapellier, founder of Parisian formalwear boutique Cinabre; menswear photographer Jamie Ferguson; Jake Mueser of J. Mueser; custom tailor and designer Angel Ramos; Campbell’s of Beauly owner John Sugden, and Eric Twardzik, our deputy editor.

But first, my thoughts on the subject: I think holiday dressing is broken up into a couple categories—home entertaining and party attire.
