Our final dinner party outfit incorporates jeans with a suit jacket and a pale blue Oxford shirt. This smart-casual ensemble hits all the right notes and looks stylish without being showy.
Heading to a proper black-tie bash this NYE? There’s no need to stress. While the demand for formal-wear might seem a little daunting, the rules for black-tie are usually the same and only require a few things. With that being said, check the dress code of the event to ensure you know what to look for.
While the classic tux is the obviously traditional go-to, you can also get away with a black suit and crisp white button-down if you don’t have a tux. Wear a bow tie, not a necktie and make sure it’s hand-tied. Dress shoes are important and should be well-polished.
When it comes to black-tie, your individuality will shine through with things like accessories. The shape of your bow tie to the style of watch you wear are ways you can express your personal sense of style, so feel free to experiment but keep it classy, gents.
The changing of the year is a momentous event and all sorts of opportunities may crop up for you. If a formal or semi-formal event lies on your NYE horizon, then here are some ensembles for you to choose from.
A bow tie can take your look to the next level instantly. Pairing a sleek dinner jacket with a button-down and sizable bow tie is a class-act move and is sure to make you stand out, no matter the kind of event.
