December 31 is approaching, which means it's time to choose a festive outfit for the New Year. Not in a dressing gown and slippers to go to visit, and even more so to a party? Even if you've paired just a simple T-shirt and a comfortable sweatshirt with practical jeans or chinos all year, it's time to surprise.
Dazzle family, friends, and acquaintances with a tasteful, stylish outfit. How about an elegant suit, a colorful casual solution or an outrageous option? On this night, you can try on the sleek look of a smart guy, a sexy playboy or a confident dandy. You decide! And we will tell you about how to choose a New Year's outfit in order to conquer everyone present with an emphasized stylish and attractive set. Join us!
A place
The choice of outfit is primarily due to the place where you plan to celebrate the New Year. There are many options. Moreover, their number directly depends on the breadth of the imagination of a particular person. It could be a mountain lodge, a bungalow in Fiji, an underwater hotel in the UAE, or a VIP event at one of New York's most prestigious venues. But most often, the New Year is limited to four places:
- Official event;
- A party;
- Restaurant or bar;
- Home furnishings.
When choosing an outfit, it is important to take into account the time of the event, the level of the establishment and self-event, as well as the environment. A strict black suit and bow tie will be out of place during the day in a modest village cafe. But it is quite another matter if you got the chance to visit a private country villa with a luxurious interior, and the dress code is clearly specified in the invitation. Therefore, in many ways, you will have to independently focus on the specific conditions of the event. I will reveal the basics of drawing up a harmonious bow for this or that New Year's occasion. Follow me, friends!
Official event
It can have both formal and semi-formal status. And here you need to know in advance the proposed dress code of the event.
White tie
Requires a black tailcoat and white bow tie. Such an outfit is traditional for large-scale charity or holiday balls, where eminent guests are invited. The Vienna Ball is a striking example of events of this level.
It is necessary to put on a special white vest under the tailcoat, which must be fastened with all the buttons. And grab your white gloves – White Tie is very strict about the compliance of the attire and accessories with the rules of decency accepted in high society.
White Tie dress code is the strictest and most formal
Black tie
If you have a lucky chance to attend a loud theater premiere or a festive reception on New Year's Eve, then you cannot do without a solemn and official outfit. The classic Black Tie provides for a man wearing formal trousers and a tuxedo, as well as a bow tie. Everything is black. By the way, a silk belt is required here. We also choose the most 'dressy' shoes. Oxfords are the best option, but brogues are also acceptable. Shoes must be matched to the clothes.
Black Tie dress code is still formal, but less formal than White Tie
Cocktail
Is there a cocktail dress code on the invitation? You're a real lucky guy! After all, this is the least formal dress code for semi-formal events. It is enough to put on a classic suit of muted colors, adding a shirt with cuffs for cufflinks to the ensemble. Of course, there is no time for frivolity, but nevertheless in such an outfit you feel more relaxed than in a tailcoat or tuxedo.
The Cocktail dress code allows you not to fasten the bottom button of the jacket, while you can not wear a tie or limit yourself to a narrow and even knitted version
What should you pay attention to? Firstly, the Cocktail dress code allows you to keep the bottom button of the jacket open. Secondly, you can not wear a tie at all or limit yourself to a classic, narrow, even knitted version. But for a shirt, the cuffs should protrude a couple of centimeters from the sleeves so that elegant cufflinks are noticeable. This will have to be followed.
A party
If the dress code is not specified in the invitation, then there is an opportunity to let your imagination run wild. And a friendly or club party is a great reason for that. What to wear?
The most elegant style for a party is casual. It can be business or smart. The main thing is to forget about the overly strict black color! Unless you dare to repeat the image of James Bond. In other cases, you can experiment within reason.
Combine straight trousers in a smooth, solid color with a sporty blazer in bold colors or a printed check. Or vice versa. You can choose a colorful bottom and a more discreet, solid color top – everything is in your hands, trust your taste! A corduroy or tweed blazer and a jacket with eye-catching satin or leather details are also acceptable. Such an element of the outfit will give you the necessary gloss and charm. With him, the outfit for the New Year will look gorgeous.
A corduroy jacket paired with a discreet shirt and gray jeans will make your New Year's party outfit truly festive
Note that there should be a minimum of negligence in the ensemble. The difference between such a festive bow and a strict business set is in spectacular colors and refined, high-quality fabrics. You should breathe luxury, but you should not forget about some aristocratic restraint. The latter allows you to create details such as:
- Stylish styling;
- Exquisite cufflinks;
- Ring;
- Classic wrist or pocket watch (if there is a vest in the bow);
- Shoes other than black.

Another exquisite touch can be a narrow tie, a bow tie. However, it is easy to replace it with a scarf matched to one of the items of clothing. Concise models of restrained colors are preferred (not necessarily a neutral palette).
Who said you have to tuck your shirt into your trousers? It only depends on the preferences of the man. By the way, it is encouraged to wear a turtleneck, long sleeve or T-shirt instead of a shirt. Especially if you are going to a club-party or a friendly get-together. Choose a brighter long sleeve under a blazer in a neutral shade, and vice versa.
