NYE Suiting Up Part 2 Ft. Z. Gross

Welcome back!
Hope your holidays have been great, they certainly have in the DC area.

This outfit is a great NYE outfit for a high-profile evening at a nightclub, lounge, or dinner party. Grey suits are very versatile, and are known for being the staple item in a businessman's wardrobe. They offer formality, as well as a modern feel. And they can be worn with various colors and textures, without clashing. Start with a white shirt, and almost any tie works a gray suit. Finish it off with subtle details like a traditional stainless watch, a stainless belt buckle, and polished cuff links.

Grey pinstripe-suit by Joseph Abboud, french-cuffed white shirt by Nordstrom, narrow purple tie by Calvin Klein, cufflinks by Kenneth Cole, and watch by Seiko.
When you arrive to the NYE party, keep your jacket on, at least until you've met most of the people there, or started dancing. 
 French cuffs and cufflinks are timeless. They help one jump the chasm between workwear and elegance. 
 Every man loves pinstripes- they make one look taller, they're associated with millionaire Wall Street Bankers, and they're good looking with so many different garments. Just don't let them compete with other aspects of your look- such as the tie.
A basic tie knot, such as this Windsor knot is a safe choice for not-so-formal occasions. It shouldn't draw much attention, because NYE is more about looking sharp than it is about being formal.
 Since this outfit as a whole is a little more traditional in color, a classic stainless watch is appropriate. Notice the match between the cufflinks, belt buckle, and watch.
 The grey suit can pick up a peacoat very easily. So if you're walking in the cold- don't be afraid to bring it along.
 Thanks again for reading. We're getting pretty excited for NYE, have a great time and don't drive (cabs are free in most cities on NYE). Stay Fresh- TCG
