Elevate holiday style with selections inspired by 2023 menswear trends
Here in the South, dressing up for the holidays is as traditional as charming hospitality and pecan pie. Whether packing bags to travel for a weekend or staying home to host, it’s time to put your best foot forward by accessorizing and dressing for the occasion. From casual to formal holiday events, these “elevated casual” menswear picks by fashion editor Ashley Brister offer versatile inspiration for fabulous holiday style. As an added bonus, the complementary textures, colors, and patterns work together to create a capsule wardrobe, meaning they can be mixed and matched to maximize outfit potential.
