Remember that outfit you bought while Black Friday shopping, but haven’t worn yet? Well, News Year’s Eve is the night. There is no better way of ringing in the New Year than in sparkles. New Year’s Eve is the best excuse to get dressed up in your most creative outfits as you’re waiting for the clock to strike midnight. New Year’s Eve parties are a celebration, therefore your style should reflect that in order to stand out from the other guests. Your outfit should consist of something glitzy and bold that leaves a lasting impression for the rest of the year.
An embellished sequin dress is one of the best options to wear. Some of the most popular colors include, red, blue, gold, or silver sequined dresses will look absolutely fabulous. The spotlight will be shining on you all throughout the night.
When all else fails your little black dress in the back of your closet will come in very handy. The most classic way show your elegance on New Year’s Eve is your favorite little black dress (LBD). It is the perfect, simple background to dress up with flashy jewelry and dazzling shoes. You can instantly transform it into a classy outfit with silver or gold accessories. Wearing a statement necklace, diamond earrings, or extravagant chandelier earrings will add the right amount of glamour you need in order to create a spectacular outfit. Depending on how much coverage your dress provides you with, you may be left feeling rather cold on New Year’s Eve. The solution to this is simple; carry a wrap or shawl to cover your shoulders when you have to venture outside. As for your legs wear tights to keep your legs warm.
What about your nails? Bold prints and sparkles are a great choice for a festive night, but if your dress is already a very sparkly and shiny dress, then keep things simple by wearing a solid yet eye-popping polish on your fingers. However, a shimmery nail polish works well with a little black dress or an outfit that is less vivacious.
Extravagant stilettos, or metallic pumps are the perfect choice of footwear for this festive occasion. Find a pair of dazzling heels that can take center stage, leaving everyone asking, “Where did you get those?” Wearing a pair of gold, red, or silver heels is an effective way to add shimmer to a dull outfit. If you want a bolder option, opt for glittery and sequined heels. Nordstrom, Macy’s and Target are popular stores that carry killer heels. But if comfort is your main concern then switching your 6-inch stilettos to flats decked out in sparkles, otherwise gemstones are the best substitution.
If you want to take advantage of the idea of ringing in the New Year in serious style, then don’t hesitate to wear a glamourous designer gown. Not only will you turn heads, but you will be the talk of the town. New Year’s Eve gives you the perfect excuse to throw on that elegant dress, high heels, and glittery jewelry. Some designers that are known for glitzy gowns include: Neiman Marcus, Jovani, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Vera Wang.
New Year’s Eve means that you can have fun by wearing accessories that show your festivity as you celebrate ringing in the New Year with all of your friends. These accessories include but aren’t limited to, masks, beads, boas, headbands, hats, glasses, and tiaras. Party City, Shindigz, Etsy, and Target carry various New Year’s Eve accessories.
