Be The Most Stylish Person In The Room This New Year's Eve!

It’s that time of year when you find yourself preparing for upscale end-of-the-year events. If you’re like most individuals, finding the perfect attire for these occasions can be quite daunting, so let’s review what to wear for NYE 2022.

The Basics

First, let’s consider the overall look that needs to be accomplished. For any of these events, the typical look consists of dark-hued evening attire. This actually makes the selection process a bit easier when it comes to building your ensemble.?

One commonly used method in style pairings is to identify your statement or staple piece. From here, you can build up from your shoes or flow down from a jacket.

Jacket

Tuxedo, dinner or smoking jackets are all viable options for formal occasions. The classic tuxedo is the go-to for most black tie events. These days dapper individuals are including modern hues like midnight blue, forest green, and burgundy. In North America, the dinner jacket is the inverse of the standard tux, found in white, mother of pearl, or variations of off-white. The velvet smoking jacket, which was typically worn over the suit after dinner has now been modified, cut down and worn especially for classy soirees. Jacquard fabrics emerged as go-to pieces in recent years providing a more ornate look of textured patterns. Any of these options are acceptable in a single or double-breasted configuration.

Shirt

Keep it simple when it comes to your shirt pairing. Whether it be white or black, stick with more formal-looking cotton fabrics like a micro twill or royal oxford. And if you're aiming for a proper formal look, French cuffs are a must.

Pants

Solid black will be the safest bet if you want the jacket to be the focal point. If you want to step out of the box with an additional layer of character, get a pair that matches your jacquard selection. Remember, your pants should not have belt loops. Instead, they should be purchased or made with a front tab extender and waist adjusters. The absence of a belt helps to achieve a streamlined transition from the upper half to the lower half of your body.

Shoes

When it comes to footwear, try to resist the urge to wear your everyday work brogues. Two options that will suit you are patent leather oxfords or velvet slippers. Both give off a refined look that says you know what you’re doing.
