Party Outfit Ideas For New Year’s Eve

New Year’s Eve is your time to shine. Dazzle in sequins and shimmer, and stand out in a crowd with our trendy fashion tips.

1. Go backless

Bare skin is sexy in small doses, so when showing off your back, keep a conservative front (no cleavage, please!). Trust us—you won’t need to panic about getting that perfect midnight kiss.

2. Work black and gold

These two colours are bold yet sophisticated when worn together. Try a little black dress with gold jewellery and other golden accessories. Everyone’s eyes will be on you.

3. Get your sparkle on

New Year’s Eve is the one night of the year when a sparkly piece is a no-brainer. A classic sequined dress is festive and eye-catching. If that’s too much flash for you, try a dazzling skirt or top.

4. Leather up

Change up your usual denim jeans for a pair of black leather pants or a pencil skirt. Add an oversize sweater or shirt to balance the slim proportion on the bottom.

5. Ready your poncho

One of the most wearable and comfortable trends this season is the poncho. The blanket-style coverup will keep your look casual yet elegant. Pair its fullness with a plain shirt and slim pants.

6. Play the match game

Celebrities such as Taylor Swift and Mindy Kaling are obsessed with the ’70s matching set. Blow everyone away with a dark-hued shirt-and-pant combo in a matching fabric.

7. Don a trench

New Year’s Eve can be one of the coldest nights of the year, so a trench coat is often essential to finish off your outfit. Try a long coat and a pair of patterned tights (if you’re wearing a dress or a skirt) to keep you warm and stylish at the same time.

8. Draw attention up

Add a pair of eyeglasses to your emsemble and you’re set. This extra accessory adds just a dash of sparkle to a stylish outfit.

 Beauty Notes

Red hot
Red lips can transform a basic outfit into something fierce. Wear a neutral eyeshadow hue so your lips are the focus.
