New years Eve. Not many other opportunities to wear a burgundy velvet blazer.

@mjs - I'm not sure what others will say, but I love the red velvet jacket! It's perfect for wintry parties.

[Jake101]

@acoustic - looking good. You're embarrassing us with those prices! I spent more on my pants then you did on everything

@mjs - are you kidding? That jacket is awesome! Wear it to get coffee. Lol - and I have those socks, diggin it

( lol I didn't have an opportunity to wear a dinner jacket NYE- went to phish at MSG - any other phish heads here?)

love the jacket. Of course, when I posted the exact same outfit, people bashed me for it. Go figure.

@Jake: Nice overall fit and the shark socks really complete it!

For the New Year I figured it would be interesting to look at how much money is spent on a fit considering this is an affordable men's clothing forum.

Guess Jacket: $7
"NICE" Henley Sweater: $2.50
LEC Jeans: $12
Scarf: $2
Ben Sherman Chukkas: $3.50

WIWT: $27

Mind sharing how you were able to get the items at such low prices?

[Jake101]

As Jake says, they are just some items I picked while I was thrifting with the exception of the LEC jeans which were actually 12 dollars brand new once: http://dappered.com/2011/07/lands-en...a-20-off-sale/

JoshuaNY, The weather here is 40-60 degrees year-round. It never reaches a warm temperature.

Acousticfoodie is an eccentric billionaire who owns multiple men's clothing retail chains. Also, he frequents thrift stores.

Agreed... I have a hard time layering under a jacket. Even when it's -20 outside, it's still 70 degrees (or warmer) indoors and I overheat very quickly.

Having lived in Texas my whole life, I'm more accustomed to being warm than cold. Perhaps I just don't over heat as easilly as others do. They also seem to keep my office pretty cold. I wear sweaters (or at least sweater vests) under sport coats through most of the winter. When it's 40 degres outside, it's not uncommon for me to be wearing 5 layers on top.

I wear sweaters under sportcoats in the coller months, but I rarely keep the jacket on inside.
