NYE Suiting Up Part 3

Aright! Here is the final entry to the NYE series. This is the last suit option we're going to show you all in this series. It's a European-inspired look with gloves and a scarf, but it is nonetheless very useable.

Sometimes a tie isn't necessary. Many designers and influencers would argue me on that. But, like I said in the last post (Part 1 of this series), less is more. And if you're not the type to tighten up a tie around your neck everyday- this outfit is likely to be more appropriate for your style. 

So start the night with a scarf, jacket and shirt- and as you warm up, remove the scarf. If you're really moving a lot, take off the jacket too. But as you'll see in the pictures, the complete suit looks a lot better than slacks and a shirt. 

Suit is a 2-piece, 2 button, slim fit by Elle Tahari. Shirt is a french cuffed DKNY white striped button-up. Shoes are classic red-brown loafers by the Bostonian (which I find myself wearing very often). Grey/white scarf is by H&M. Red-brown gloves are by Kenneth Cole. Pocket square is a basic, pure white silk handkerchief.

Button the top button for most circumstances. 

Also, use a white pocket square if you're feeling cornered on which is going to match your shirt. 

It's really cold outside- so the scarf helps keep one warm, while replacing the sometimes constricting tie. This basic drape works very well with sports coats.

Because the outfit is mostly grays and whites, I added a little color with some red leather driving gloves and loafer shoes of similar hue. 

There are two options once you're inside and comfortable. Remove the jacket, or remove the scarf. Both look good. I prefer to remove the scarf, but I thought we'd display both.

 I noticed someone wearing just a white shirt and pocket square with their suit and realized how easy a sharp look can be. The look is bold in contrasts, but as a whole is still understated.

 Here's the option 2 for indoor settings. No tie, just a shirt and pocket square. 

 Here are the loafers I was ranting about before. They're reddish-brown, and very comfortable. And, they are an essential in the young man's aesthetic arsenal.

Wear your suit with pride. A Slouchy posture is the antonym of masculinity.

 I see myself wearing this outfit often in the future - mainly because it is such an easy one, but also because it carries an air of formality, and is therefore fit for various occasions, ranging from weddings to NYE.

I'll post links for these past 2 posts tomorrow. But for now- it's time to get some champagne flowing. 2012 has been an exciting and dynamic year for TCG, myself, and many of my friends. We propose 2013 will be even better. Stay fresh- TCG
