Christmas is here, and there is a festive cheer in the air. So it is also time to take out those pair of shoes, your favourite party dresses. However, we suggest you to ditch the regular little black dressing and experiment with different looks this year. And goes without saying that different Christmas parties means different outfit options. If you’re having a low-key dinner party with family, opt for a solid simple outfit. For your office Christmas party, you can style a crisp white shirt with a blue or maroon bottom, adding equal accessories to glamour your outfit. If you are stepping out for a party with your friends, pick out a loud coordinated set.
NYE House Party Outfit
For a house party, aim for a look that bridges the narrow gap between casual and smart-casual. A tee-shirt under an open blazer with jeans or slacks is one option. You can wear this outfit with white sneakers or polished up Oxfords depending on how smart you want to look.
New Year Dinner Party Outfit
A dinner party calls for smart-casual wear so think Oxford shirts, suit jackets, blazers, and Chinos, amongst others. For this kind of occasion, you can be a little sleeker with your outfit choices and, dare we say it, a little bold. Suits are definitely acceptable but you can forego the tie to keep it from getting too formal. A suede or velvet blazer over a pale blue or gray Oxford shirt is an excellent option. It’s incredibly stylish and looks fabulous with some charcoal gray pants and dress shoes. Check out the image below to see what we mean.
Bold
If you love something a little less conventional, give a look like this a try. A dressy ensemble like this makes a bold statement and showcases your individuality. Opt for tailored pieces to make the greatest impact.
Tailored Pants Can Make A Difference
Here is another twist on the deep red jacket that carries strong NYE vibes. Fabric options include corduroy, suede, and velvet. Tailored pants and a contrasting tie take the look to a whole new level.
Fun & Fabulous
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.
What to Wear to an NYE Black-Tie Soirée
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.
Black Tie Event Outfit
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.
Dressing Up For Semi-Formal or Formal NYE Event
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.
Outdoor NYE Party Outfit
When it comes to outdoor celebrations on NYE, the most important factor is the weather. If it’s a chilly night, then it’s best to plan an outfit that you look and feel good in. Consider a thick turtleneck sweater with a jacket (a fur-lined collar is an easy way to up the style factor instantly, plus its extra warmth). You can pair it with jeans and boots.
