You’ve almost made it through the holiday season, and now it’s time to catch your breath and prepare for planet Earth’s next trip around the sun. As the ball drops on the year, make sure you don’t drop the ball on your style. Let life/after/denim ensure that you’re looking good while counting down.

Kickin’ It Low Key

You’ve opted for a more casual New Year’s Eve this year — dinner and drinks with your closest friends. But that doesn’t mean you should head into the night looking like you came from the gym.Make 2018 the year you don’t let your casual fashion dip, and let the Craftsman Crew (available in Black and Golden Olive) become your ride-or-die thermal. Its 100% cotton slub thermal is super warm and super soft, making the Craftsman the hero crew to keep you cozy through the champagne toast on your best friend’s patio.

The Bar Crawl

You may not being going all out, but you still want your casual style elevated. The Matrix Shirt (available in Black and Heather Grey) is the Ryan Seacrest of button downs. Its comfortable fit, 100% cotton twill, and window pane plaid make it classic yet striking — the perfect combo for counting down to that midnight kiss.

And if you need a little something extra to shield you from the chill while standing in line for the food truck with your high school buddy Stinky Pete, make sure your Cardigan is on point. With the Oak Park Cardigan (available in Black and Heather Grey) you’ll enjoy all the sophisticated style of a cardigan without the tired patterns of cardigan’s past (currently occupying the Goodwill waiting area in the corner of your closet).

The New Year’s Eve You’ll Never Forget

If dancing with 5,000 of your closest friends is your idea of a killer New Year’s Eve, then the Art Deco Shirt (available in Auburn and Blue Blood) is your jam. You don’t have to be Gatsby to look like a million bucks in this handsome button down. The 100% cotton oxford will breathe on the dance floor and still look good at New Year’s Day brunch… or hanging by its locker loop at your date’s casa.

The Night Cap (err… Jacket)

By the time Aud Lang Syne starts playing, simply pronouncing Aud Lang Syne can be a challenge. Don’t let intoxication spoil your game. As the party winds down and you wait for your uber/lyft/driver, throw the M1 Bomber Jacket (available in Golden Olive, Blue Blood and Black) over the Dragon’s Triangle Shirt and let it set you apart from the others and be your wingman. We promise it’ll look just as good wrapped around your date’s shoulders as it does on you… the first step towards a more chivalrous 2018.

No matter what your plans are this New Year’s Eve, life/after/denim wishes you a safe and healthy one full of impeccable style.
