Parties are not just about having fun and socializing. They're about the promise of the possibilities that the night will bring. To tip the balance in favor of your evening ending on a tantalizing note, start by elevating your party wardrobe to the next level this fall. Here, with the help of the Marc Anthony collection for Kohl's, we present a seriously sexy and masculine ensemble that will give you the confidence you need to be on top of your game all night long.

If you're on a super-tight budget this season and can only spring for one piece from this collection, make it this dress shirt and use the other items in your existing wardrobe to recreate a look similar to the one presented here. Regardless of how you wear it, this striped button-down is a versatile piece that will get you exactly the kind of attention you want. For example, pair it with dress pants, polished black leather shoes and a handsome watch, and you have a killer look that will work just as well at a swanky party as it will for a business meeting. Team it with dark trouser-style jeans, a trench coat and a luxe scarf and you've got an outfit that exudes European chic. It really is hard to go wrong with a piece as basic and universally flattering as this one, so have fun mixing and matching it with everything in your wardrobe.

Satin Grid Tie

A sophisticated party calls for accessories that can rise to the occasion and subtly add an aura of refinement to your evening look. At the same time, unless you're attending a black-tie event, donning fancy dress accessories is overshooting your mark and will make you stand out in an awkward way. To strike the right balance in your ensemble, try a silk tie with a pattern, like this satin finished one from Marc Anthony's tie collection for Kohl's. Against a striped dress shirt, it provides a striking contrast that will ensure all eyes are on you but will also enable you to blend seamlessly into your environment.

Adding a pair of slim-fit dress pants to a collared-shirt-and-tie combo instantly gives your party look an upscale edge. To update your pants collection for fall, check out 
Marc Anthony's collection. A variety of easy-to-wear, flat-front models await you, each accompanied by a price tag that won't make your jaw drop, so if you take the opportunity to stock up, you'll be putting fresh looks together all season long. What's more, because of their simple design, these pants will give you an air of understated elegance and put the focus squarely on your charming personality. For a night out, select a pair in black to imbue your outfit with a smouldering sensuality. When you're not out partying, use these pants to bring an extra dose of authority to your fall office ensembles. Pair them with a V-neck cashmere sweater and leather loafers and you've got a work look that's comfortable and cozy but lets others know you're a consummate professional.

Although neglected for years in men's fashion, ankle boots have made a strong comeback in recent seasons, appearing in slick leather models for smart occasions and sturdier suede options for rustic living. For an ingenious, all-purpose take on the ankle boot, seek out Marc Anthony's square-toe, black-leather version at Kohl's. After dark, ankle boots are more unexpected than a dress shoe, and therefore will lend your dressy ensemble a very fashion-forward feel without coming off as deliberately trendy. During daylight hours, team these boots with dark-colored, crisp cotton pants or trouser-style jeans and a blazer


Other than a silk tie, a chic party ensemble requires no other accessory apart from a really great watch.

Invicta vintage classic stainless steel watch

Other than a silk tie, a chic party ensemble requires no other accessory apart from a really great watch. For the perfect finish, try this dapper timepiece from Invicta. With a stainless-steel face and leather armband, this watch goes with everything and exemplifies good taste. What's more, a silver-tone sunray dial gives this piece a unique vintage feel that will bring the right touch of class to your look.

Reversible Leather belt

Wearing dress pants and a dress shirt without an appropriate belt -- or without any belt at all -- is a major fashion faux pas. To put the spotlight on yourself rather than your clothes, select a sleek black-leather dress belt with a gleaming but unfussy silver buckle like this one from Marc Anthony. For only $32, this accessory is a total steal because it looks much more expensive than it actually is and you can reverse it to its brown side to pair with other outfits. 

While looking your best is of concern anytime you need to travel further than from your couch to the fridge, it's particularly important to dial up your style when you have a party to attend. You never know who you might meet and you want to be prepared to make a distinctive first impression. As you can see here, there's a simple formula to creating an impeccably stylish and unforgettable look: Tweak your wardrobe each season with a new dress shirt or two, mix in pieces with a modern touch like ankle boots and an interesting tie, and keep your accessories to a minimum. Shake, stir and enjoy.

Style Icon: Justin Timberlake


Style Icon: Justin Timberlake


Why He’s An Icon
Few, if any, young pop stars transcend into adult stardom, but Justin Timberlake has done it by changing the way he is perceived by his old and new fans. You know him from *NSYNC. You know him as Britney’s first. You know him as the willing (or unwilling) accomplice in Janet Jackson’s wardrobe malfunction. And you might even know him from his impersonation as one half of the Gibb brothers on Saturday Night Live. But now you know him as JT -- the one who brought sexy back. Hyperbole aside, the man does know how to transform himself for a new age and a new fan base. First he cut the hair; then he trashed the wannabe hip-hop threads; then he put on a suit and showed the world he had what it took to come back after everything else he had been through.


Dress The Timberlake Way
He no longer favors the hooded sweatshirt under the blazer, and those bleached-out trainers with low-slung jeans are but a figment of his boy-band self. Indeed the man has grown up and sports the best of the best in men’s suiting, but the true element of his new look is the stark white dress shirt in a body-hugging fit, sublime collar and tie that matches the suit jacket. Cutting your hair close and learning to dance won’t hurt either, but to dress like JT you need the shirt -- a shirt like Banana Republic’s pleated-front topper. The shirt still reveals the physique, but also gives you a modern way to dress down formal wear. It’s the perfect way to tell the world you mean business and are ready to be a new man -- JT-style.
