Cufflinks can add a classic touch that can showcase your personal style.
A black tie is simplest, however you can spice up your look with bold prints, textures, and colors.

VIP Nightclub Guest
First and foremost check the nightclub’s website for their official dress code. It will most likely be strictly enforced on NYE.
Go classic with a nice button down dress shirt.
Accessorize a bit with jewelry, a stylish scarf, colorful socks, or a trendy hat (if allowed).
If acceptable, dark denim paired with a unique blazer are classic go-to’s for a night out.
Keep it simple by wearing one statement piece

Laidback Lounge
Lounges allow you to combine comfort and style.
Have fun by mixing textures and patterns paired with layering.
Again, check with the lounge, but dress shoes are most likely still required.
You can skip on a dress shirt and opt for a cool t-shirt accessorized with a necklace or scarf.
Don’t need to be too flashy at a lounge as most guests there are anticipating a low-key, mellow night.

House Party or Neighborhood Bar
Lucky for you there’s no dress code, but why not make it special?!
Comfort doesn’t need to be boring, go bold with a unique accessory.
Let your feet do the talking with a pair of statement shoes.
Rather than a blazer, chunky knitted sweaters can keep you warm and comfy.
