Wearing a three piece suit or formal tuxedo is a great option on a special night in Vegas. However, we don't have room to get into the particulars of formal attire in this post.

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.

1. Wear items that fit you well
2. 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.

Wedding season is upon us, which means it’s time to look put together. Since it is summer, the idea of wearing a full suit to a wedding can sound like a miserable proposition, thus we've put together some alternative looks as a guest at a summer wedding. With our guidance you can lock down your looks without getting overheated.

Summer is the time to embrace the light colors of your wardrobe.  An easy way to gear this to a wedding ensemble is by taking a lighter pant and a lighter colored button down and matching them together.  You can add a blazer or sports coat also in a lighter color depending on how formal the wedding is or what time of day.  The light color bottom and top combo still look sleek while adding a summer(y) vibe to it.  

Remember it is summertime and hot out, so while you are celebrating you do not want to be uncomfortable and overheat while you are enjoying the special occasion.  This is more targeted to a morning or early afternoon very casual wedding, but feel free to embrace the short sleeve button down, even a polo.  To dress this look up you can add a smoker loafer with no sock and an exposed ankle.

If veering away from your basic day to day look is something you are not comfortable with; just adding a little something extra to a simple outfit can make a huge difference. This can be done with a lapel pin (to be places on the edge part below the collar on the breast of the jacket) or with a pocket square.  Feel free for either to be bright with colors and textures to add an accent.

Do not be afraid of keeping it simple.  It is not your day to stand out, so don’t.  Keep it comfortable with one of your favorite shirts, lightweight pant, and add your nicer belt as a statement. Do not forget if it is a morning, day, or early afternoon wedding to bring sunglasses that can add an extra flare to your outfit.  

Weddings, especially ones where you do not really know anyone can be a time where you wear something you do not go for.  It is a one time occasion where, again, they focus is not on you.  Wear a shirt that has not gotten a lot of action.  Or a pair of shoes that have yet to see the light of day.  Experiment with different styles and go out of your comfort zone to wear a non-typical outfit.
