When the ball drops and everyone raises their glass, you want to sparkle and shine as much as that first glorious moment of the New Year. No matter what type of New Year’s Eve party you’re attending or what kind of attire is expected, you can let your personality and expectations of the New Year shine through by choosing an outfit that’s unique and sophisticated. Follow the advice in this guide to find the hidden fashion gems in your closet whether it’s pretty small shoes, or accessories incorporate them into your party ensemble so you look gorgeous and feel comfortable until the wee hours of the morning.
Combine That Little Black Dress With Killer Accents
The little black dress is a fashion essential that’s solved many wardrobe crises for decades. While it’s perfectly fine to wear your little black dress with minimal accessories, you can also turn it into the backdrop for colourful, killer accents. Add bold and bright colour to your black dress with brightly-coloured high heels, a wide belt cinching your waist, a glittery handbag or a scarf around your neck.
If you prefer to stand out at a party, rather than blend into the scenery, bright colours are the way to go. When everyone else is wearing their traditional, black attire, your bold statement of colour will get you noticed, and then it’s up to you to make a great first impression.
Don’t Let Casual = No Personality
Not all New Year’s Eve parties are dressy. When the invitation says “Casual Dress” you can still look like a knockout. Choose leggings, skinny jeans or black pants to start with. Add a sleeveless top in show-stopping yellow, hot pink or turquoise. High heels or flats are both fine for a casual party, but choose a pair that adds glamour and colour. Don’t forget your jewellery. While you may not need all the sparkly jewellery you’d normally wear at a black tie gala, a pretty pair of chandelier earrings add a beautiful finishing touch to your outfit.
Sparkle, Shine and Luxurious Fabric
Sometimes it’s not so much the outfit, but what it’s made with that creates a dazzling look. New Year’s Eve is the night on which you can get away with wearing many clothing items that will remain in the closet for the rest of the year. Dust off that sparkly, sequined silver or gold top and pair it with a black skirt, black pants or a pair of jeans.
You might not wear a velvet dress to many other parties, but on New Year’s Eve a luxurious velvet dress calls attention at a fancy, black tie affair. If bright colours aren’t your thing, but you don’t want to wear black either, pay more attention to the fabric and sparkle in the clothing for a party-worthy outfit.
Don’t Forget the Important Things
Whether you plan to party all night long or not, you want a New Year’s Eve party outfit that looks beautiful and feels comfortable the entire night. Consider the party atmosphere and what your activity level will be so you don’t have to call it a night early or spend the night in misery due to being uncomfortable.
If you’re going to dance the night away or be in a location with a lot of other people, you need an outfit that allows your skin to breathe and lets you move. Clothing that’s too tight make it hard to dance and can result in embarrassment if something rips. High-heeled shoes look sexy, but if you can’t stand, walk and dance in them all night long, there’s no point in wearing them. When you’re comfortable, you can feel confident, which is as important as looking gorgeous as you join in the countdown.
