The New Year is a great opportunity to celebrate the year that's passed, to reflect on it and to embark on a new journey, striving for higher achievements than before. New Year's Eve is marked by most people through fun parties filled with champagne, caviar and lots of fun. Sometimes, people have themed parties, but most people don't really have a specific dress code, except for "fancy and stylish" - you always want to make sure you dress according to the dress code. And that is a rather good way to go, since New Year's Eve is a highly dynamic, joyful event in the calendar.
In this sense, men can opt for outfits they don't often get to wear, thus making the event not just a great sartorial experience, but also a lesson in experimentation with style.
Without further ado, let's take a look at some ideas you can try on New Year's Eve 2020.
Generally, New Year is all about starting the new year with high spirits. In this sense, sparkle, shine and colors are the rule of the day. The fireworks launched at midnight are one of the best reflections of that. In this sense, we encourage men to try out some more special styles. The easiest, yet most impactful way to go is to wear something like a special shirt or a special jacket. A jacket or a shirt that are not something you wear everyday are a great way to bring yourself in the mood of the holiday and to spread the cheer to others as well.
When it comes to shirts, you can think about wearing a shirt that features a special element, such as a special print or color or a detail such as ruffles or accent fabrics - these small details can change the entire vibe of your look. Jackets have more customization options and we invite you to consider more special evening jackets, which have elements such as peak or shawl lapels, which are double-breasted, etc. Moreover, a New Year's Eve party is the right place to experiment with colors. While a classic black jacket may work (it always does the job well), you can also think about wearing something in gray or navy blue if you want to keep it toned down, or burgundy, green or even pink if you want to be extremely memorable. You can also opt for something in more colors than one or go for something that has a unique texture. This type of jacket can draw a lot of positive attention and make you the star of the night.
Accessories have the power to elevate the entire vibe of an outfit. They are also a great way to express yourself through small details and let others know what you are all about. Thirdly, wearing accessories will make your outfits more complete and will enhance your attitude, as you will feel more confident and put together. You can opt for something classic, such as a tie or go for something that is a bit more special such as a cravat (especially for those who like to feel less constrained around their necks) or bow tie. We also recommend considering wearing a pair of suspenders, a special pair of cufflinks if your shirt allows and a nice pocket square.
When it comes to accessories, there are a few things you should always remember: firstly, that they need to be proportionate to your size (bigger men should wear bigger accessories and the reverse) and secondly, that you can wear more metals as the same time since they are all neutrals. Also, you should never wear both a belt and suspenders and it's also important to edit your accessories - don't overdo it. And, speaking of overdoing, if you choose to wear more than 3 accessories, it is advisable to make sure you spread them correctly around your body. For example, if you wear a chain around your neck, a lapel pin on your jacket and an earring, there will be too much going on in your upper part. In such a situation, you can change it up and go simply with a bow tie around your neck, a small lapel pin, a belt and a watch. This way, your accessories will be well-distributed around your body.
Last, but certainly not least, there are a few style tips that are rather obvious, but which people need to hear and to remind themselves in order to feel confident:
1, You should always wear clothes that fit, but that allow for movement - you don't want to feel corseted on NYE.
2, It's important to make sure your clothes are comfortable - for example, if you go out, your coat should feel right even if you are wearing a jacket beneath.
3, Small touches such as perfume and a fresh haircut will make you feel more sure of yourself as the night progresses.
To conclude, it can be said that New Year's Eve is a great opportunity to dress up in a fancy way and feel confident as you step into 2020. Adding some colors, textures or prints to your outfit and accessorizing according to your needs and preferences can turn out to be just the recipe for success you need to start 2020 in full throttle.
