Whether your December 31st plans involve disco balls and themed parties or more low-key festivities, New Year’s Eve is the perfect opportunity for a
style rebrand. What you’re wearing when the clock strikes midnight sets the tone for the year ahead, right? And of course, while you want to be cool
and confident, feeling comfortable is equally as important. Scroll on for style tips and New Year’s Eve outfit ideas to level up your look.
Blaze a Trail
New Year’s is arguably the moment to just go for it
from a style standpoint, and the first step to
making an outfit feel elevated is layering. Thrown
on over a button-down shirt or lightweight sweater,
a blazer adds instant sophistication. Try an
unexpected color, like burgundy, teal or warm
brown, and pair with matching suit pants or slim
black denim. If you really want to impress, opt for a
luxe velvet blazer that says “another glass of
champagne, please.”
Choose the Right Outerwear
If you’re venturing out of the house and onto the party
circuit, you don’t want to be caught unprepared for
the weather. The beautiful thing about a topcoat (a
polished-casual outerwear essential for every guy) is
that it doesn’t hide the ’fit, but actually makes it. Want
a no-fail New Year’s outfit formula? Start with a
form-flattering turtleneck sweater, or crew neck if
that’s more your vibe, and pair with dark wash jeans
and suede boots. Then, top the whole thing off with a
tailored topcoat in a neutral hue like charcoal gray.
Go Monochrome
An outfit in one solitary hue will win you points
every time with its ability to make you look
effortlessly put-together. Dark shades like navy, rust
and wine are a great choice for this time of year, as
they give you plenty of styling versatility. For a
smart, sleek look, we love pairing a slim suit pant
with a sweater or button-down shirt in a matching
color. Feel free to accessorize with a scarf in
complementary tones, and finish with a white
sneaker or leather dress shoe.
Let Your Shirt Be the Star
Maybe you want to keep things simple and pick one
statement piece to pair with styles you already have
in your closet. That’s where a well-chosen dress shirt
comes in, specifically one with details that elevate it
beyond the everyday. Think unique prints and bold
hues that will bring attention your way for all the right
reasons. Fit is key here as well, which makes our
bestselling 1MX Dress Shirt a perfect choice for your
New Year’s Eve outfit. Add a blazer, chinos and
sneakers, and you’re ready to head from the bar to
watch the ball drop.
