how to dress for men's parties Cocktail Attire Men 10 Best Party Outfits for

Best Jackets for the Pear Shape Body Long blazer Cropped denim jacket Cropped leather jacket Belted jacket (watch your hem length for this one and prominent hip pockets!) Short Bolero or Shrug jackets (with strong shoulders, not in a lightweight knit) Patterned jackets Jackets to avoid: I generally recommend avoiding double-breasted jackets because the button detail and fabric overlay usually happen right near your hips

You can't go wrong with a black velvet dress or feather trim detailing

Even though smart casual is not extremely formal, you should still look professional enough - avoid ripped or bleached jeans and pants that do not fit well
