NYE Outfit Suggestions Fellas?!/2012 Bonus!

Okay Fellas....we couldn't leave 2011 without giving you one last post....New Years Eve Outfit Suggestions!! Now....we don't have an overall theme, just picked out a few celebrity men looks that we liked and thought were appropriate for NYE. The looks can be switched up easily to make them your own ...and we're going to tell you how. With that being said...let's hop right into today's post!


 Suggestion 1: A Dressy- Casual Blazer Look 

Now....we feel like NYE is somewhat of an occasion that you dress up for even if you're a jeans and t-shirt type guy. This look is not too far of a stretch. It's not a full blown suit, just 1 or 2 key dressy pieces and the rest you can be comfortable with a t-shirt and pants...maybe even jeans. 

Now...look to your right and you'll see "Ye" in a grey blazer ....now what he did with the rest of it was stylish but comfortable. He paired a graphic polo underneath the blazer and did a pair of belted, white pants. He also put a red pocket square in the blazer...which definitely gives a the look somewhat of a dressy feel. 

Now to replicate this look while still making it your own...start with this Brown Herringbone Blazer from ASOS.com. You can also find these at J.Crew and Urban Outfitters just to name a couple places. For your casual element you can do something like this Ivory/Black Graphic Tee layered underneath. For bottoms...do something different, yet still causal and try these Dark Plum Chino Pants  or this pair of Blue Docker Pants. Now as far as shoes go you can do these Black Leather Wingtip Dress Shoes for both looks. Then to complete your look don't forget to belt your pants (black belt), throw in that pocket square..teal for the plum chino pants look and orange for the dark teal/blue dockers look , and maybe a nice watch like this Rose Golden Michael Kors Watch.


Suggestion 2: A Dressy-Casual Cardigan Look.


Okay fellas....above you see D. Wade in a dark grey, double-breasted button-up cardigan with a white v-neck layered underneath and khaki pants. We can't see the shoes, but we're hoping he went with some type of oxford or wingtip shoe. He completed the look with a black and gold watch. 

To get a similar look while still making it your own, start with this Black Double Breasted Cardigan and instead of doing the tee...which you can...we suggest you do a button-up underneath like this Cotton Button-Up in Green/ "Polo Match". Now bottoms is where your casual element comes in...do a pair of DARK WASH jeans with this look. Then for shoes you can go one of two routes: do something like these Black Lace-Up Boots or something similar to this pair of  Black Oxfords. To complete the look, do a tie like this Black.Grey/Raspberry Stripe Silk Tie so everything isn't so solid and do a nice watch like this Michael Kors Stainless Steel Watch


Suggestion 3: A Full Suit Look!

Okay the last look...comes from Trey Songz...a full suit look. Ladies know there's nothing like a man that can "hang a suit" ....well! Now depending on what type of club or event you're going to for NYE ...this may or may not be appropriate but we wanted to suggest it. But....if you're in there "hanging a suit " well....and fly...that's all that matters!! 

So... look to the left with us..Trey has on a subtly striped grey suit with a white dress button-up shirt underneath. For shoes, he went with some nice black wingtip shoes and completed the outfit with a silk, black tie. If any of the looks are easy to replicate...this is the easiest.









While replicating it and still making it your own, start with this Black Fitted Suit from Express. Put this White/Berry Striped Dress Button-Up underneath. To complete the look do these Black Leather Wingtip Dress Shoes that were suggested in Kanye's tip and put on this Skinny Silk Tie to give it more of a fashionable look instead of traditional. We even suggest you throw on a pair of black frame geek-chic glasses.


Okay so let's say you did want to do a grey suit...start with this Grey Sharkskin Modern Fit Suit and just do the two pieces...not the vest too....wayyyy too much. Lol. Then put this Modern Fit Stretch Button Up in either the "Pink Punch" or "Radiant Rose" color. For shoes...you can do the same black wingtip shoes that were suggested or even the oxfords from D.Wade's tip. Now instead of doing a regular tie...do a bow tie like this Black/Silver Dotted Bow Tie  or even the Solid one and throw on the geek chic's!
