Suited & Booted
The tuxedo is the quintessential New Year’s Eve uniform. Men look stunning in tuxedos; its formality actually offers a wonderful ease and great peace of mind in knowing that you are dressed perfectly for whatever comes your way. Women, too, should consider a tuxedo. Its tailored, sophisticated look is ultra-chic and stylish. Once paired with a fur scarf or stylish overcoat, it echoes the jet set and disco glam years of the 1970’s.

Relaxed Glam
Deconstructing classic styles and customizing them allows you to make a great, unique style statement. Back in the 1990’s Sharon Stone paired a gap t-shirt with a long black skirt to create an “edgy” option for the red carpet that unleashed countless copycat versions. This look is pure American sportswear, looks fresh and polite, yet never dull as it thrives on originality. If you’re looking for a little more relaxed comfort in you New Year’s style then this twist might work well for you.
