The best party shirts to keep you stylish through the season

Let’s first clarify one thing before we start. We don’t mean «novelty» shirts when we refer to shirts.
Let’s define «novelty» for a minute. In fashion, novelty is any accessory or garment that has a series cartoon characters on it. (That tie covered in miniature Christmas Cartmans is included at 100 percent), anything made of jazzy polyester purchased from one of those social-only ads (a onesie «designed to look like» a suit, for example) or anything overtly festive (a hat to look like a Christmas pudding or a shirt made from pine needles).
«Party», or more specifically «party shirts», are shirts made to make a statement and look chic. They can transform a black suit from a work uniform into an evening-ready ensemble with a simple swipe of a hanger.
Wearing your party shirt this holiday season is a great idea. Choose a luxurious fabric like silk or velvet depending on the temperature. Pair it with simpler garments to let it shine. A Versace shirt that is simple and elegant with simple caramel chinos or a patterned Amiri shirt with a black Dior suit.
This is our selection of the best… with some sharp blazers for good measure.
REISS
Marble is not just for kitchen countertops, as you probably know. Reiss’ Rafe shirt, patterned throughout with a marbled print and adorned with an undulating marbling print, is sure to add some sparkle to your festive outfits. What about styling? A pair of black tailored trousers will keep things simple. reiss.com
ALEXANDER MCQUEEN
Alexander McQueen’s darkly seductive glamour is not limited to Christmas, but everything is susceptible. The house’s version of a dress shirt is a departure from what you expect. It features a harness-style shoulder strap and embellishments throughout with silver-toned eyes. At mrporter.com
COS
How can you elevate your style? Leather is the word. This luxurious overshirt is made from a soft, chrome-free leather. It will add a sophisticated touch to your Xmas ‘dos. Santa will not know what has happened to him. cos.com
STORY MFG
A whole lot of stars is what makes Christmas more festive. This Story Mfg. oversized short-sleeve shirt supports the celestial image of Christmas. It doesn’t include three wise kings or their gifting skills, but it is big on style. farfetch.com
PERCIVAL X HARRY LAMBER
Surprisingly, there is nothing that says «mistletoe bait», like showing your biceps with a sweater vest. Percival x Harry Lambert’s mohair blend vest and its candy-coloured, zig-zag design are a particular favorite. percivalclo.com
VERSACE
Versace silk, with its oversize and patterns, is there anything more? This baroque-inspired pattern, decorated with the label’s Barocco660 print, harks back at the iconic designs by Gianni Versace from the 1980s and 1990s. This shirt can be worn with jeans and trainers, or with suit trousers and loafers. versace.com
ASOS DESIGN
Ok, the traditional party shirt may not be enough to satisfy your dress code itch. How about a classic blazer? Asos Design’s belted jacket is crafted with a technical plisse pleated design. It mimics the look of Issey Mikae, but without the high price tag. Asos.com
CHARLES TYRWHITT
This is a simple trick for those who are unsure about dress code. Swapping your white dress shirt for one made of black fabric can give your party an extra nighttime feel. This Charles Tyrwhitt pick is a worthy contender, made from 100% cotton and featuring a non-iron, fuss-free construction. charlestyrwhitt.com
ADIDAS X GUCCI
This Adidas x Gucci knitted shirt is one of the most subtle and chic party shirts sub-genres. This piece is imbued in the Ivy League spirit of the 1950s. It would look great in an old-school diner, complete with milkshakes and poodle skirts. Its dual-logoed design doesn’t hurt either. Gucci.com
COLLUSION
Collusion’s textured shirt is for the more casual of you. It adds an understated touch to your winter looks. This shirt is perfect for layering under the mistletoe to add a touch of Christmas cheer. Asos.com
ASOS DESIGN
This shirt by Asos Design will make sure that you have a wild party appearance this season. This shirt is a contrast of metallic brown and glittered tiger stripes. You won’t forget it. Asos.com
