What To Wear on NYE: The Ultimate New Year's Eve Outfit Guide

Time to shine: New Year's Eve outfit ideas for women
If you’re heading somewhere formal on the 31st, embrace the opportunity to put on the glitz. Invest in a scene-stealing party dress that can be worn again for future events. We’re loving this dancefloor-ready tasseled mini dress. In shimmering silver sequins, with a Roaring Twenties-inspired design and flattering cut, it’ll be your go-to going-out dress for years to come.
Want to feel chic but also effortless? Opt for a sophisticated tailored blazer: it’s the perfect option when your party plans involve travel. A plush velvet suit has an elegant feel and is easy to dress up with glittering jewellery and a pop of red lipstick. Worn over sleek separates such as a satin camisole, a figure-sculpting bodysuit or even a fine wool roll-neck jumper, it’ll have you looking flawless for the most exclusive of gatherings.

Cool yet casual New Year's Eve outfit ideas
The going-out top has made somewhat of a resurgence in recent years, with collarbone-flaunting cuts leading the charge. This ruched bandeau in a striking red shade is the ideal way to make a subtle statement on New Year's Eve. The best bit? It'll pair with your everyday jeans, meaning less time deciding what to wear when you could be having fun.
Whether you can’t bear to wear anything else or you’re just not a fan of dresses, wearing your favourite jeans can still make you the belle of the ball (aka your pal's low-key NYE party). Choose wide-leg jeans for laid-back elegance and pair with simple, elevated accessories for a pulled-together look that doesn’t try too hard.

What to wear on New Year's Eve: Outfit inspiration for every party
Cocktail party on the cards? It's time to take your partywear up a notch. Wearing sequins head-to-toe makes a real statement, and is surprisingly easy to pull off – the key is to make sure the pieces match, rather than clash. Start the New Year as you mean to continue by wearing something fabulous.
Our gold sequin wide-leg trousers and co-ordinating long-sleeve top come in decadent gold and sophisticated dark green. Wear them together and keep the rest of your outfit subtle: think minimal jewellery and strappy black slingbacks. The pieces look great separately, too – try the top with a satin slip skirt, or team the trousers with a cashmere jumper.

Plus-size outfit ideas to turn heads on New Year's Eve
A pair of luxurious leather trousers (or sleek leather-look leggings) will see you through many occasions during the festive season. Wear with a cosy knit for carolling at midnight mass or pair with something sequinned for the Christmas work do. Come New Year’s Eve, it’s time to vamp things up a bit.
We think that this sequin mesh top by Live Unlimited does the job perfectly: the sheer fabric makes it feel dressy, but the long fluted sleeves give a bit more coverage on chillier evenings. Add your favourite statement earrings, a slick of bright lipstick and you’ve got a stunning plus-sized outfit idea ready to ring in the new year in style. Let the countdown begin...
