W What’s a holiday well spent without a few good fashion tries? Those shiny sequins you bought mid-year can finally be put to good use. And as cliché as sequins may sound for the holidays, there’s no festive New Year’s Eve party without some glitter. The traditional route to fashion – even if safe – could easily become boring. This includes whimsical sweater layers, the color red sprinkled throughout, and an overall fun twist on even conventional fashion displays.
Before the rudimentary office blazer resurfaces or the WFH sweatpants come back into play, have some fun with some playful yet stylish New Year’s Eve fits. How do they say it again? YOLO. Before you know it, the new year will arrive with all its seriousness.
Here are 10 last-minute New Year’s Eve outfit ideas
#1. Metallics
Attending a party for NYE’s. Opt for a metallic gold dress, toned down with neutral accessories. It’s a combination that never goes wrong. Choose striking details such as a huge bow or black accompaniments with gold accents. The beauty is in the details!
#2. Fluel
This plush fabric can be worn as a rug for a formal event, or as cozy pants for casual engagements. The effortlessly luxurious nature makes a velvet outfit look expensive with little or no effort.
#3. Two-tone denim
Denim sets will always be top holiday outfit ideas. Serenade your guests when you throw a party with a two-tone denim set. It creates an aura of unpredictability while providing the elegance every host needs.
#4. Embellished bralettes
Blinged bralettes and matching denim are the perfect New Year’s Eve outfits for an evening full of frivolities. With lots of dancing and singing, letting loose during karaoke or singing along during your favorite artist’s show, this outfit offers freedom and playful sass. Keep a jacket on hand for when the low temperatures start to hit hard.
#5. Skirts with sequins
Consider wearing elevated casuals for New Year’s Eve and then go the high-low path of a white T-shirt and a sequin midi skirt. This outfit is suitable for both day and night wear. It is a suitable work outfit on NYE and perfect for a quick evening drink with colleagues or friends. This look also works well for those who prefer to spend New Year’s Eve in church.
#6. Red overload
Still enjoying the holiday spirits? Then choose a full-fledged red ensemble. It can be a beautiful red dress or a turtleneck in a midi skirt with silver accessories. Let the earrings and other statement adornments shine through. A beautiful sparkle is a welcome addition to any lady in red, accompanied by a confident smile.
#7. Leather x transparent
Edgy does it! Heading to a concert or Vegas-themed party? An all red leather and sheer outfit is the only statement you need to make. Let your leather trench coat and sheer bodysuit show your fluidity in fabulosity. It should be clear by now that I’m obsessed with the bold shade.
#8. Mini dress with flowers
Date night and sassy mini dresses are a pair made in heaven. An embroidered mini dress with all-over rosettes and a structured mini bag are a great way to remind him that the prize is YOU! A floral print dress and tights are a suitable alternative. Floral dresses are practical and easy to reproduce New Year’s Eve outfits that are rarely missing.
#9. A formal dress
Do you live in a big city? Moving in elite circles? So what is New Year’s Eve without an elegant ball or formal dinner? An elegant formal dress is the best choice to become the diamond of the season. A bit exaggerated, I think. But a sleeveless ball gown or a one-sleeve fringed maxi dress exudes an effortless, poised vibe.
#10. Sequins x fringe
At the risk of sounding like a broken record: it’s festive season and the last day of the year calls for an extra response to the cheerful mood of the season. A sequin and fringe dress, paired with sheer tights, is a playful place to start the new year or end the old year.
