Men's Birthday Outfit Ideas

If you’ve been invited to an adult birthday party, you may be wondering what attire is most appropriate to wear. View our men’s birthday outfit ideas to help you dress correctly for the occasion.

How Formal is the Party?

The first step in dressing correctly for an adult birthday party is identifying how formal the event will be. This will guide you in putting together your outfit. Consider the following tips:

A casual birthday party indicates that you could wear something as simple as a T-shirt and jeans. This is especially true for summer parties when the hotter weather means you won’t be expected to wear a full suit.
A formal party may require you to wear something like a bow tie, a button-down shirt, and khakis. A nice pair of seersucker pants could also be a great formal combination with a button-down.

To get a better sense of how formal the event will be, always look at the venue. A quaint backyard gathering means you can probably keep your clothing casual, while an event at a fancy restaurant might call for a more preppy look.

Outfit Tips for a Birthday Party

If you don’t know where to start when putting together your outfit for a birthday party, take a look at these tips to assist you:

Err on the side of dressing up. You wouldn’t exactly want to wear a tuxedo to a birthday party, but it’s generally better to dress up than it is to dress down. You can always remove a tie for a more casual look, but you can’t add one if you don’t bring it along.
Stick to versatile clothing. If you have any doubts about just how formal it will be, stick to the most versatile items in your wardrobe. Performance Khaki dress pants are 100% cotton, making them versatile enough for outdoor events, but feature stain-resistant twill that will help you feel better if the party is much more casual than you anticipated.
Dress up casual clothes. If done correctly, you can make the casual clothes you love look more formal. This is likely the best move you can make, because it can help you straddle the line between casual and formal, allowing you to fit in with any kind of event.
