It is time once again for my company's annual holiday party. Suit required. I had to buy a new suit because I outgrew the old one. Middle-age spread, don't you know. <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Anyway, the suit is very snazzy looking -- my wife says I look great <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> -- but fits me like a glove. I had to remove my mobile phone from my belt to get the jacket to drape properly <img src="/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> . Now I'm having to rethink my whole gear setup for that evening.

I have a plan in mind (a shoulder bag will hold my phone and first aid supplies), but I was wondering, for those of you who will find yourselves wearing suits during holiday events, how do you intend on equipping yourselves, bearing in mind that dress slacks won't hold much more than a SAK Classic before bulging and sagging.
