Fashion Tips For Men : Holiday Fashion

The secret to a perfect holiday trip home means focusing on what really matters. Family, friends, peace, love and happiness are certainly important, but when it comes to menswear, knowing what to pack and what to wear can also make a man joyful and triumphant.

 For Club Monaco's menswear designer Timothy Farah in New York, the go-to travel item is "the perfect blazer." He adds: "It can be dressed up or not depending on the occasion." Club Monaco offers the Wright blazer and the Channing Tuxedo blazer, both for $349. The jackets are "tailored and modern."

Jeffery Spivock, the public relations senior manager for Gap in Toronto, would wear a Banana Republic velvet blazer ($310) on the plane to avoid crushing it. He says it "looks as good with a pair of destructed jeans ($160) as it does dressed up for holiday drinks." If the itinerary is elaborate and takes you from cold to warm cities, Spivock says: "I always pack neutral staples that I can layer in multiple combinations and still look fresh." He suggests accessories will also make the difference. "

Arienne Shoom, head stylist for Joe Fresh Style, thinks adding a zip-front Fair Isle sweater, $39, to the checklist is a good idea. The sweater's intricate geometric patterns are "festive without going overboard, perfect for the holiday season and then cosy for hitting the slopes." Since lounging with in-laws in boxers may not do, Shoom has a great pointer: pyjamas.
