Suit Fullstop
Thanksgiving is not just another day off. It is not even another holiday. It is an experience. Whether it is carving your first turkey at the head of the table, juking your overly competitive cousin Charlie in a friendly family football game, or finding yourself on Central Park West under a massive inflatable Snoopy, Thanksgiving is a chock full of memories that will last a lifetime. Don’t let those memories be etched in people’s mind with you looking like a dumb.
Get your wardrobe ready with these tips for what to wear on the Thanksgiving this year. Whether you’re munching with friends, on a journey to see family or hosting your own dinner, these tips help you tease out your personal style with an eye for relaxation and customization.
THE EAT & RUN.
Whether you are feasting with family, or counting down the minutes to kick-start, these threads will keep you moving.

When you start receiving people for Thanksgiving, it has to be official: you’re an adult. Dress like a matured man. You may be a bit overdressed compared to your visitants, but that is absolutely fine. You’re hosting the night, it’s your table, set the rules and standards.

THE MEET & GREET
Every holiday season, only few brave men decide to meet families. Hold your nerves and make the first impression with a look that is kind, approachable and says “I’ve got it together.” Of course, you will need to get well-dressed if the above mentioned family doesn’t happen to live a pebble throw away. We’ve got you protected there too…see below the clothing.

UNFORGETTABLES
So you are in this for the long haul; traveling over the holidays can make the celebration a bit hectic. You may not be able to control the bad weather at O’Hare International Airport (which, for some reason, delays every flight within a 3,000 mile circle), but you definitely have a control a how you pack. Get charged for an extended holiday weekend without over packing and over-thinking.

Don’t leave these fundamentals behind if you are hitting the road this Thanksgiving.

16 WAYS TO DRESS LIKE A GROWN-UP MAN

1.Now that your mother isn’t selecting your outfits anymore, start following the Style Pyramid.

If a piece of clothing doesn’t follow to the Style Pyramid — fit, fabric, and style — don’t go for it.
Step 1: Ensure your suit fits.

Most men happen to purchase suits that are two sizes too large. Fix that by learning your measurements. Opt to buy a bespoke suit. This will solve your problem
Step 2: Check the material.

Emphasise on quality than quantity, so buy garments that are 100% fabrics (cotton, wool, etc.). They look nicer and are sturdier.
Step 3: Is it classy?

Your objective is to fill your wardrobe with comfortable, nice-looking clothes. If you don’t like it, don’t buy it.
2. High school is over; get a real pair of shoes.

Potential mates are neither impressed nor turned on by men in beach sandals, so suit up.
3. If you have no plans to run, don’t wear canvas shoes.

Spend on quality. Every gentleman should choose a black lace-up shoe (they match everything) and a few slim, pointed ones.
4. Throw out your white socks, and cover up.

Buy some bright wool, cotton, and cashmere socks — because each type has its own purpose — and ensure that they cover your shins.
5. Torn and extraordinarily faded jeans are deal breakers.

And dump your loose-fitting or frayed jeans away, while you’re at it. When it comes to jeans, make it very simple.
6. Identify how and when to wear shorts.

How: Find a balance between uncovering your knees and covering your thighs.
When: Depends on the temperature, location, and the event.
7. Stop looking for “small, medium, and large” dress shirts.

Buy slim-fit shirts, treat yourself to an Oxford shirt, and tuck it in.
8. Identify how to roll your sleeves.

9. For ties, matching colours and patterns is very important.

Your objective is to match a tie with your dress shirt or suit, and not vice versa; so buy ties that match with your entire wardrobe.
10. You need a tux.

Stay fashionable with a black jacket and white dress shirt (slim-fitted, obviously), and ensure that you are wearing a bow tie.

12. Pocket squares are used to complement, not match.

So sticking with all-white or going with some colour is absolutely fine.
Advantage: Pocket squares direct everyone’s eyes to your chest, not your belly.
13. Cuff links can make or break your get-up.

Keep it simple and clean.
14. Trim your hair lika a guy from Mad Men.

Say good-bye to your noodles hair, and stop growing your hair like a girl. Short hair is in, so keep things neat and tidy.
15. Find a matching sunglass.

Finding the right pair of sunglasses can be complex, but that’s the best way to complement your get-up.
16. Also, real men keep things clean.
