One of the biggest parties of the year, New year’s Eve is always good fun and a great way to see in the new year and look forward to better things.  We have come up with a few great formal outfits for a few ways you could be spending your New years eve.

Black tie event

If you are going to a black-tie event or dinner and drinks somewhere that you really need to dress to the nines, then black tie is perfect. You will look elegantly sleek and sophisticated all night as well as feel great, because how often do you get to look that good.

Go for your classic black dress shoes, black trousers, paired with a crisp white shirt and then you can add a bit of personality through your black jacket.

You’ve got the options of satin lapels as well as the type of lapels you have or you could go for a morning suit style with tails.

With a bespoke jacket, it is easy to add personality even if it’s just black.

Just a family night in

If you don’t fancy going out in all the crowds then a night in with your family and friends is a great idea. It can be as busy or quiet as you want it and you can even head straight to bed after the clock strikes midnight.

This is an easy outfit to choose, if you are just family then you can go as casual as you like with some loungewear and your slippers. If you’ve got friends coming as well, just put on a pair of casual trousers, a t-shirt and a piece of knitwear and you’ll look comfortable yet presentable.

Drinks with friends

Just going out with a few friends to a pub or bar to see the new year in, then a great casual outfit is what you need. Something comfortable yet well put together, layering pieces are key because it may be freezing outside but in the bars and pubs it can be roasting.

Opt for jeans or chinos, layer with a t-shirt or shirt and a piece of knitwear. You could go for a really chunky cable knit to make it the centre of the outfit or try a crewneck with your shirt collar popping out.  Just make sure you are comfortable enough to enjoy your night.

A romantic evening to see in the year

Maybe you just want to spend the new year with someone special, having that kiss at midnight. Well then where ever you are going or if you are just staying in with that special person, we hope our advice comes in handy when picking out your outfit.

And from all of us here at Fielding & Nicholson we wish you a Happy New year!
