New Years Eve is only a handful of days away which means you better get your fit in order. This requires that extra effort to stand out and shine, looking your seasonal best. It’s the season of celebration after all, so why not push the envelope and step further out of your comfort zones with both colours and fabric choices.
Velvet Blazers
Maybe it’s the luxurious feel or its versatility, but there is a special appeal to a great velvet blazer. Not only do they stand out, but they pair well with almost all other fabrics including denim and wool. Get a bold colour that compliments your skin tone, emerald green, maroon, or rust. Let it be the piece that stands out from the crowd.
Tuxedo Jacket
The holidays usually carry a high number of black-tie required attire requests, so having a well-fitting, hopefully, tailored tuxedo satin lapel jacket is a wise investment. One could go with the traditional black, but a midnight navy is a great option. Get a textured or jacquard fabric to add that extra wow factor. Whether you go with a shawl, peak, or notch lapel option, go single button to add the extra style flare. Pair with a well-fitted shirt and sharp bow tie and you have your James Bond smooth look in swing.

Pants
Let your pants express the festive mood of the season. Again, one could go traditional with regular slacks, more formal with tuxedo style pants, but get bold and go for jacquard or similar fabric and again colour is your friend.
Shoes
Loafers are your best option when getting extra fussy for the big night out. It’s fashion-forward and shows an extra sense of flare. Whether you go for velvet, patent leather, or leather, be bold. Don’t shy away from tassels or buckles. The no-show sock is a key essential here unless you are going extra bold with the Michael Jackson glitter socks route.
