  1. Jewelled Detailing

Rhinestones have made a comeback this year, and there’s never been a better time to wear them. This Black Satin Dress with Jewelled Strap by Maje brings a touch of glamour and is oh-so versatile, as well as showcasing another trend of the moment – a lightweight mock-neck jumper that it can be worn with or without – making the two-in-one piece perfect for day or evening. And it’s a traceable product too, made using certified raw materials – bonus. Find Maje in Jubilee Place mall.

  1. Roll Necks

This style of jumper can be dressed up or down and will keep the winter chill at bay too.

  1. Velvety Smooth

Velvet has also been seen on the male model runways. And for those occasions when something extra special is required, turn to this luxurious Italian Velvet Jacket by Charles Tyrwhitt, available in navy or mocha. The two-button styling puts a contemporary spin on this piece and will add a dash of elegance to your occasionwear ensembles. Team it with knitwear for a relaxed finish or go formal with a crisp white shirt and a bow tie. Find Charles Tyrwhitt in Canada Place mall.

  1. Plaid Print

The history of the plaid print dates back 3,000 years, yet this pattern goes beyond Scottish Highlander kilts, giving a heritage look that is still very now. Channel it with these XX Chino Straight trousers from Levi’s for a smart/casual look. Find Levi’s in Canada Place mall.

  1. Textured Materials

 

Ditch the plain shirt and instead look for those with texture, such as this Long Sleeve French Cuff Jacquard Shirt by Ted Baker that’s perfect for Christmas and into 2023 and beyond. The 100 per cent cotton fabric makes it comfortable to wear, while the classic collar and long sleeves refine the look. Find Ted Baker in Canada Place mall.

Next, for skincare, visit brands such as Space NK, Kiehl’s, Since 1851, Bobbi Brown, Rituals…, Malin+Goetz and The Body Shop who stock men’s cosmetics, while for fragrance check out Penhaligon’s which has a range of seasonal scents, and if you can’t decide on which one you like best there’s The Showmen – five miniature festive fragrances for gents.
