What to Wear in Vegas - 3 Looks for the Discerning Man
There is a wide range of options when it comes to what to wear in Vegas. However, there are some rules of thumb. Some of these are true most all of the time, whether you're on the Vegas strip or walking the streets of Peoria, Illinois.
- Wear items that fit you well
- Show some personality with at least one piece
Las Vegas Look #1
Don't be afraid of color. Although most men like to steer toward the basic color scheme of blues, blacks, and grays adding a pop of color whether it be with a pocket a square, or a shirt. If you really want to be the confident man you are, wear both. The pop of color shows that you know what you are doing when it comes to style even if you really don't. Now this does not mean to wear every color of the rainbow at the same time. Just pick a statement color and stick with it. Add extra accents of the color with sock, pocket squares, and sunglasses if you have them. Keep it consistent. If you want two statement colors, then try to make everything else a little more neutral.
Las Vegas Look #2
This look is really easy to recreate on your own. It's comfortable, easy, and still looks great. It also shows you that a simple basic outfit can really look like a level up when you add some accessories. Accessories make you stand out, in a good way. This look is also so easy to accomplish. Now since it is Vegas and can get outrageously hot, some stylish shorts are a great alternative to rooftop or pool parties. Another option that can come from this outfit is keeping it all the same, but switching out the pants or a pair of shorts is up to you. This way you still look great and be weather appropriate.
Las Vegas Look #3
Every guy needs his ball out look. An outfit for an epic night out, for the big celebration, for whatever reason he is there. However, instead of wearing your only nice suit, or the suit you need to wear to work next week, mix it up with something only slightly more casual, but still look great. Take a nice black pant you have, a white button down, a comfy pair of shoes, and add your own touch of character with it. If you don't want a jacket for the night, add a cool and sophisticated pair of cufflinks to add something a little extra. If you and your group are deciding you want to don full suits, jackets included, wear a jacket that is not the typical black that matches your pants. Wear something with color, even if it is a little subdued. Since you are already wearing black and white you can pretty much add any color into that mix.
There you have it - our tips on what to wear in Vegas.
