STOP Wearing These UGLY Holiday Jackets (Wear These Instead!)
About this video
Centeno presents ten ways to style confidently for the holiday season while avoiding novelty items like ugly sweaters and gimmicky neckties. He recommends classic pieces with seasonal appeal—including signature jackets, Fair Isle and Aran sweaters, bowties, holiday-themed accessories, and colored trousers—that allow men to stand out as well-dressed while maintaining holiday spirit.
Key takeaways
- Centeno recommends investing in a signature seasonal jacket in colors like dark red or dark green that signals the holiday season without looking novelty or costume-like
- Centeno argues that classic sweaters with small repeating patterns from Ireland and Peru offer more timeless holiday style than ugly novelty sweaters
- Centeno suggests using subtle accessories like cufflinks, tie bars, pocket squares, and socks as opportunities to incorporate holiday themes since they fly under the radar and allow more creative expression
- Centeno recommends bowties as superior to novelty neckties because they are uncommon, make the wearer approachable, and can pull off small patterned designs better than long neckties
