New Years Eve way back when, was a black tie evening-now you are lucky to even see a jacket while out at your favored club in which payed the admissionn for a golden ticket so you could "open bar it" into the new year. These crowded nightspots are teaming with dudes that either only make it out one night of the year (this night) and the douchelows that are out every Friday...you need to stand apart from them. So what are you going to do? Don't wear a tux 007. Rock the cocktail jacket. A cocktail jacket you ask? Yes, indeed a jacket to cocktail in. They come in many textures, finishes, and fits. They tend to be a little more flashy, because they are to be worn after six. Now don't go looking for a diamond studded number a la Barney Stinson but take a look at what master tailors Dolce & Gabbana have been creating and pay homage to the after hours sartotialist, Tom Ford. Budgets are high for their jackets but if you are creative with vintage or like what you see in Zara, your look can be a fraction of the cost, however it should look filthy rich. Black shirts, dark denim, velvet slacks and even a patent loafer will make your duds a cut above the dudes.
