New Year's Eve is around the corner. . .what will you be wearing at the stroke of midnight? Traditionally the colors for NYE are Black and Silver, classic and cute but I say let's break with tradition this year! Be BOLD in 2011, strike up your own party by wearing a pop of fresh jewel tones! Purples and Teals look marvelous next to sleek Jet Blacks and Steely Greys. After all, in a sea of black and silver you will be a beacon a sophistication & style!

The Brits have done it again! If you're in need of a Party Perfect Holiday outfit look no further than Universal Gear's Ben Sherman Collection.
A Helpful Guide to creating the perfect holiday look: A crisp, bold, solid button up (go with strong colors like Crimson Red, Forest Green, Deep Purple, Charcoal, Rich Black or Classic White) tucked into a classic black or grey pant (no cargos or pleats please). In general , your look should be clean, crisp, and put together. If you want to have some fun with your outfit, choose a sleek black or gray vest and accent it with a skinny tie (or bow tie if you're in the mood for something a tad more fashion forward). If vests are not your thing, you can pair this look with a fitted v-neck sweater; playfully tucking your tie into the sweater. This is a smart, witty ensemble that is sure to turn a few heads. If it's really cold outside, complete the look with a classic blazer (a velvet or cord blazer works as well) that you can take off when you reach your destination. Finish the outfit with a black dress shoe or Chelsea boot, black belt and cuff links.

Do you feel it? Winter has arrived, and along with the chill of the season comes one of my favorite holiday traditions . . . the Holiday Party! From Thanksgiving to the New Year there will be an overabundance of get-togethers & cocktail parties. Universal Gear is here to see to it that you are dressed for the occasion.
Formal or Informal? Dressy or casual? What do I wear? Don't panic. Here are a few helpful outfits ideas that will not only help you blend into the scene, but maybe even steal you a bit of the spotlight. Pair a classic button up with either a pair of flat front chino pants (chino's are a dressier choice but not super formal) or nice pair of clean cut denim or corduroy pants . If you go with denim, there are a few rules to follow: dark solid wash denim only, and clean (no rips and no abrasions). You should top the look off with a v-neck sweater, cardigan or sweater vest. This will add a touch of sophistication and dress up the denim combo. Complete the look with a classic belt. As for footwear, dress shoes or boots are a must!. If you follow these guidelines, you'll have a look that will work with any occasion from an office party, cocktails after work, to an intimate social gathering with friends.
