Now we all know there's no better time to dress to impress than new years eve, so I have had a quick rummage round the shops myself and came up with a few key ideas to think about to finish this year off in killer style.
Its all about the little touches: paying attention to detail really does show true style.
Pocket squares
Them pockets need filling boys! Pocket squares in your jacket are a must. Plain coloured ones are perfect for a more classic look, go for a vintage or spotted pattern if you want to add a bit of excitement to the outfit! Also Splash a bit of colour on yourself lads! As it is Christmas don't be scared to push the boat out and opt for a real bold festive piece.
Play around with neck tie Accessories as well. There are so many choices out there at the minute, ties, neck scarves and my hot favourite this season the bow tie.
Bow ties really have stolen the show this season, let's be honest it was about time we made room for something more exciting than the standard tie! So if you want to be bang on trend this new years don't be afraid to open up the preppy side of you as the bow tie really is a must.
The Bow tie comes in all sorts of shapes, sizes, colours and patterns. therefore there's one to suit all, no excuses! :-)
My advice is if your wearing a fairly simple shirt then go for a playful/colourful design. On the other hand if you've gone for a busy looking shirt then a subtle toned colour and style will finish the outfit off perfectly.
If it's a real swanky do you have lined up then there's only one thing for it.... The "three piece". I am of course talking about the signature three piece suit. And before I start were not talking wedding style were talking on trend 2011 Gary Barlow X factor esque, that man loved a three piece:
Style icons such as David Gandy and George Lamb know exactly how to put their stamp on the classic "three piece".
The three piece is something that is essential for every man's wardrobe just in case that big occasion arises. The best thing about it is there's no rules! the mix and matching ideas are endless. You could go for a matching selection throughout like the infamous David Gandy (picture 3), or try mixing it up with different coloured trousers like Gary Barlow (picture1). Tip: Black trousers are a winner with any concoction of jacket and waistcoat.
My hot Favourite at the minute is the grey tweed three piece, it looks dapper in every which way you style it!
Accessories
Go all the way with the detail on your look by adding a collar pin that really frames your tie a treat. By adding a pin to your tie just gives you that subtle edge to set your outfit apart from the rest.
So here's what I'm putting together for the big occasion. I've gone for a mix and match three piece with a white shirt, burgundy skinny tie and a pair of tan brogues. This whole look is just under 150 quid :) BARGAIN!!!
So there's a little insight to a few ideas to bare in mind whilst raiding the sales, if your brave enough that is!
Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you all :)
