NYE Outfit #1 | Glam but Comfy
Everyone wants to look a little glam on New Years Eve. But, a little sequin dress isn’t always practical – especially if you live some where it’s the dead of winter and freezing cold. If that’s the case for you, then que the sequin pants. They are still super glam but will keep you from getting frostbite and will also help you stay comfy until the ball drops. I love that this is still a fairly dressy New Year’s Eve outfit idea but with a little twist.
NYE Outfit #2 | Glam
On the other hand, it you want to look as glam as can be then a sequin dress is just what you need. The best part is that this dress is under $50 from Zara so it’s at a good price point. Since the dress is the star of the show, you really don’t need much else. Complete the look with some cute heels and a basic bangle and your dressy New Year’s Outfit is complete!
NYE Outfit #2 | Casual Glam
Like I said, a dress isn’t always super practical. Also, it can be a challenge to dress down a sparkly dress if your plans are a bit more casual this NYE. With that said, nothing says casual like a good pair of jeans and a black bootie. Make the outfit NYE ready with a black sparkly crop top and just like that, you’re ready for a champagne toast. What’s also great about this out it that you probably already own black jeans, black booties and silver hoops which means you don’t have to drop a ton of money on a brand new outfit – WIN.
NYE Outfit #3 | Understated
Maybe you just plan on hanging with friends or going out to dinner with your significant other this NYE. If that’s this case, this is the perfect casual New Years Eve outfit for you. It’s simple and casual but just dressy enough for a little something special. The sparkly heels really take this look from a regular Friday night to NYE ready. To make the this casual New Year’s Eve outfit even more laid back, swap the heels out for a cute bootie.
NYE Outfit #5 | Staying Home
There is absolutely no shame in staying in on NYE. I mean, we are still in the middle of a pandemic after all. So, if you plan on ringing in the new year with your closest friends in the middle of someone’s living room with a box of pizza and some cheap champagne, then this cozy outfit is calling your name. The metallic silver leggings give off a NYE vibe but still keep the outfit as comfy as possible. Pair it with your favorite oversized sweatshirt and some UGG minis and get ready to clink those champagne glasses with your besties.
That a wrap! I hope this post on 5 New Year’s Eve outfit ideas to ring in the new year gave you some NYE outfit inspo and you can kick start the new year in style.
