Here’s What You Should Wear to That New Year’s Eve Party

Plus what dudes have been putting on for the last 100 years.

Over the last 100 years, dudes have been strapping into suspenders or using their military fancy dress as a stand-in for the big day. A few decades in the late 20th century nonwithstanding, it’s always been a pretty sharp look.
