Change Just One Thing for New Year’s Eve

Some guys use whatever soap is in the shower. Others carefully consider the field and select the best option. Eric, our resident grooming god, falls in the latter camp. Once a week, he’ll be sharing his product findings and lifestyle tips.

I know that dressing and grooming for New Year’s Eve can be stressful and daunting. I always find myself scrambling at the last minute to come up with some totally new outfit or hair look that I can rock for the most festive night of the year. To avoid this kind of crisis, my advice is to pick just one thing you that can change or add to your ensemble (yes, I am talking flair) and focus on that. For example, you could spruce up your favorite blazer with the Bonobos pocket square that you received in your Birchbox Man box. Or you could try slicking back your hair using a gel (my favorite is from Davines).

Whatever your little touch might be, it will add to the festiveness of the evening without too much mental stress or strain on your bank account. As for me, I’ve been eyeing this Alexander McQueen Leopard Tie. There’s only three days until New Year’s Eve. Somebody stop me!

We get that some guys are not into gel. Another great option? Hair paste. It will give your hair hold without looking styled.
