So, you’ve decided that you’re tired of seeing everyone have fun in Times Square on December 31st and that you’ll be ringing in the new year out at a party somewhere. If you’re going to a regular party thrown by own of your friends or casual acquaintances, you don’t need to read this article. That kind of party could be held on any night of the year and you really don’t need our advice (this time.) Go out, have fun, and be safe. We’ll see you in January.

But for those of you who are going to a venue (adult word meaning “place other than your friend’s apartment) for an event or, dare we say it, a gala (adult word for “fancy party,”) then you’ll need to actually put some effort into deciding what to wear, especially if there is another one of those fancy italicized words….a theme.

So we’ve thrown together a bunch of looks that we think are perfect for the guy looking to stand out by being understated. The guy who wants his style to speak for him without seeming desperate for attention, pretentious, or like one of those douchey “peacock” pick-up artist types. Enjoy.
