New Year, New Style.

Why wait until the New Year to update your style, when you can be the best dressed guy at that overpriced New Years Eve bash you hate to love. Whether you have a hot date your looking to impress, or you're flying solo for the night, don't be "That" guy who looks like a walking billboard. Yes I'm saying it now, dragons and brand names littered all over a grown mans clothing does NOT make you fashionable, just simply tacky and routine. So here are some eye catching pieces, that will draw all the right kind of attention without making you cringe at the register.


Shoes



Name: Kenneth Cole P-Reach-ER Plain Toe Oxfords
Price: $87.99
Where to Buy: Macy's

Seriously lose the sneakers and wear a grown mans shoe! These Kenneth Cole plain toe oxfords
instantly give your outfit some credibility. Perfect with jeans or dress pants, 
usually I wouldn't recommend oxfords with jeans but the plain toe gives you the ability
to rock these at the club, to dinner, or more low key engagements. Be different this year, any guy can throw on a pair of black dress shoes and look decent, but with these
understated gray oxfords you will easily separate your self from the average joes.
The price is a bit high but If you take care of them, they will last you for years. 



Denim


                                   

Name: Setup Slim Jean
Price Tag: $39.99
Where to buy: Macys

These slim fit charcoal grey jeans come from Marc Eckos revamped Cut & Sew line. 
One of my favorite finds, these jeans have a nice tailored feel and 
can give you a nice break from typical blue jeans. The best thing about this 
pair of jeans is the versatility of them. Easily worn out to that hip club for New Years Eve,
and adds edge if worn to your buddies house party. For the price you would be a fool
not to snag a pair for yourself!







Name: BKE Fulton Jean
Price Tag: $34.49
Where to buy: Buckle (online)

One of the best sales I have come across this season and just in time for the last Hoorah of the year! Buckle has their factory store BKE brand jeans online for less than half of the regular price. 
BKE gets it right by adding the perfect amount of detail without going overboard 
with their slim bootcut Fulton jean. Guaranteed to get some compliments and the best part is only you will know you paid half price!

Shirts



Name: Denim Woven Shirt
Price: $21.90
Where to Buy: 21Men

21Men comes through in the clutch with this great classic denim button down with a twist. 
Not your old mans denim shirt, this top is modern and can be worn long sleeve
or short sleeve (the better of the two). Honestly if your a guy who dress's with some
confidence this is a no brainer. I wouldn't necessarily wear this out just any where downtown
but it's perfect for your favorite dive bar, or basement party. New Years Eve just got 
a little edgier. 





Name: TX8 Fitted Stretch Cotton Shirt
Price: $19.99
Where to Buy: Express

After christmas is a great time to find great sales at all different stores, Express is
no exception. I can't lie, their shirts are awesome, they fit well and last forever. 
This updated western shirt can be worn alone,  tucked in (not recommended), or even with a trim blazer (recommended). Go bold with the aqua if your going to a trendy club
 or keep it muted with their deep red or smokey gray if your plans are more traditional. 


Name: Basic Crewneck
Price: $5.95
Where to Buy: 21Men

Remember if you are in a crunch and can't find anything to wear go back to basics. A nice crewneck black t-shirt can go a long way. Easily dressed up with a nice trim fit blazer
and a nice pair of dark jeans. You can't go wrong with this classic.



Blazer


Name: Cotton Blazer
Price: $39.99
Where to Buy: CB United (online)

I'm not lying when I say that buying this peak lapeled sports coat is as close to stealing 
without actually shoplifting. For $39.99 you get a trim fit, with a very breathable cotton fabric. 
Its one button so it's great as a dinner jacket, and stylish enough to throw on over any shirt. 
REAL TALK you don't even need it to be New Years Eve to treat yourself to this blazer. 


Ties

Name: Slim Tie Black Diamond, Slim Tie Black, Slim Tie White Diamond
Price: $9.99
Where to Buy: CB United (online)

Variety of stores is key in finding great fashion items, but in this case you don't have to go far.
CB United goes hard with their line slim fit ties. I suggest staying more classic silver, black, gray, or white combos when it comes to your neckwear on New Years Eve.
