The Happening: Men of the Met

When it comes to men, dressing up for formal occasions normally leaves us with too few options for personalization. However, these male attendees of the annual Met Costume Institute Gala in New York show us that that isn't necessarily the case.

As long as you pay attention to the details, you can still pop out of the crowd and be lauded for your style, despite the fact that we all know these events are all about the ladies anyways. So without further ado, presenting my top picks for the Gala!
