subject: Hosting a Formal New Year's Eve Party [print this page] Another reason why the Formal New Year's Eve Party has become popular may be the extensive range of formal attire now available to the shopper. Formal is no longer just Black or White. Many dinner jackets are now available in other colours and should a waistcoat and bow tie be chosen the range is endless. You might want just a plain colour or instead prefer stripes or swirls in two colour or multi colour. If you are unsure about waistcoats as you feel they may be too hot during the evening, then you could go for a backless waistcoat from the Marcella Range. But should waistcoats not be to your liking then a Cummerbund may be the answer for you to complete your outfit. Cummerbunds can be bought in a range of colours also and can be plain without pattern, or subtely patterned with a faint design such a paisley. You are sure to find a matching bow tie also. The choice is yours.
