Christmas is the time when the prep set really gets to shine in all of their formal glory - from patent leather to tartan taffeta to navy velvet. We are huge fans of the black tie holiday party although with the recent emphasis on all things uberhip and lumbersexual, we're afraid it's becoming an endangered affair. If you're attending a black tie party or a winter wedding, here are some of our favorite formal fashions and accessories.
At Chatham Ivy we don't sell formalwear, but we do have the perfect gift for the tartan lover in your life. You'll be the hit of any party if you bring along our long-sleeved Wicked Tartan horse and fox t-shirt for your hostess.
