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.

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.
