Wool suits and wool trousers made from 100% wool have been favored by consumers and apparel makers alike for years and years. Here’s why:

A natural fiber, wool comes in many different weights and thicknesses allowing you to wear it year-round. With small gaps of air in its fibers, wool controls the climate you wear it in. It breathes, which synthetic fibers can’t do. Because of this, wool is not only comfortable on the skin, but it’s also odor-free. And to top it off, wool is easy to care for. Creases hold well, even on lightweight wools worn during the summer.

For a company sponsored cocktail or Christmas party, take your initial cues from your company’s dress policy.

If you work in a suit and tie environment, you can assume that suits will be worn at these types of social events.   It is, however, recommended to switch from your normal solid white or blue dress shirt to something more fashionable.   Try a striped dress shirt , check dress shirt, or a shirt with a contrasting white collar.   For a more formal look, wear a French cuff shirt.

If your day-to-day environment is business casual, you may want to select a deep toned sport shirt  and match it with a great looking sportcoat.   Or, take that same sportcoat and wear it over a fine gauge knit.
