We’re of the opinion that every guy needs to look his best, no matter the situation, and that’s especially true for perhaps the dressiest holiday of the year. That’s right — New Year’s Eve.
If you’ve got the right place to go or the means to host your own party, NYE is 100 percent the time to go all-out and dress to the nines. We’re not suggesting a full tuxedo in terms of what to wear for New Year’s Eve, but a velvet jacket, some killer chelsea boots, and a fancy-ass tie will definitely do the trick. Check out our favorite picks for a sharp, tailored way to ring in the new year.
Express Velvet Slim-Fit Blazer – $124
Looking to go bold (within reason) for New Year’s Eve? Reach for an on-trend, affordably priced jacket that’ll help you stand out for the right reasons (and maybe catch someone’s eye before midnight, ya dig?).
Uniqlo Non-Iron Slim-Fit Shirt – $30
Yes, you can certainly dress in style and on a budget for New Year’s Eve. Picks like this crisp, white shirt are classic, timeless, and ready to pair with a tailored topcoat, a cashmere sweater or, naturally, a velvet blazer.
Drake’s Plain Navy Tie – $175
So you’re going affordable with your shirting, so you best step things up on the necktie front then, right? This Drake’s tie is incredibly well-made, subtly stylish, and easy to wear to the office in the new year, too. No one else at your party will have a tie like this, we guarantee it.
Club Monaco Sutton Herringbone Pants – $180
