New Year's Eve brings people out of the woodwork. They dress in their version of party badness, and they put on their best party faces. New Year's Eve is a blend of yesterday's accomplishments and tomorrow's dreams. And to make the most of the best party of the year, men have to let their style animal out. New Years is one of the best times to break a few traditional fashion rules and carve a new style frontier. If you have no clue what to wear, read on. Here are some modern New Years outfit ideas that will inspire you.
Breaking the New Years Outfit Rules
Breaking those traditional fashion rules is not hard. Wear a one-button, midnight blue satin-trimmed tuxedo jacket, for example. You can add a plum-colored, small collar printed shirt. And a pair of dark gray jeans screams style. Add a pair of double gore pull-on Chelsea boots for a New Years outfit that shakes the cobwebs out of any brown suit.
But, what about relaxing a little while your outfit does the talking in a blue wool suit? The color of that suit is what makes the suit so fashion forward. It's a bolder shade of blue. And, it's not navy or royal blue. So, it's somewhere in between those colors. Add a Milano fit point white shirt and black silk tie. Slip on a pair of black six eyelet straight tip oxfords to grab just the right amount of attention at the party.
Add a Bit of the Old with a Touch of the New
On New Year's Eve, even your black turtleneck can be a friend. So, just pair it with a two-button, light gray checked suit and a pair of calfskin plain toe derbies. But there's no shame in reaching for a skinny gray wool suit with tight pants and a retro indigo shirt with pocket flaps. Sure, that sounds like 1980s Ralph Lauren meets the Mad Men of the 21st century, and that is precisely the point. Finally, grab some black Chelsea boots and wrap a paisley silk scrap around your neck.
Yes, some men will be at the New Year's Eve bash in a three piece suit and a white poplin shirt with French cuffs, and that's okay. You have plenty of options. But, if you feel you need one more idea for a New Years outfit, default to a midnight blue double-breasted tuxedo with slick pointed lapels and covered buttons. Go with a white shirt, gold cufflinks and studs. And don't forget to slip your patterned, dark blue socks into a pair of blue suede slip-ons and party on.
