Trendspotting at the 15th MEGA Ball
The night called guests to dress for motion, and these men definitely moved with impact
A new formal movement
Themed ‘Fashion + Dance,’ the 15th MEGA Ball called for dynamic outfits that moved with impact.
These VMEN showed up ready to make a statement, showing how formal wear and dressing for motion can be in step with one another.
The white jacket and the black tie were reimagined with a few tweaks, proving that a well-fitting tailored outfit can move well on the dance floor. Others were ready to jive in billowy shirts, embodying ease in motion as they danced to the beats of the night. Scarves and cravats were the chosen accessories of those who wanted to break free from the usual tie.
Check out the full looks below.
