Festive New Year’s Eve Outfit Ideas

By: Danielle

While you’re all out decked to the 9s and ringing in the New Year at some fancy shindig, I’ll be under the covers at the stroke of midnight watching a DVD marathon of Curb Your Enthusiasm. See, I love the idea of getting dressed up and going out, but icy cold weather and drunk people sort of scare me. I’ll live vicariously through you all…lol.

Should your New Year’s celebration call for something festive, check out these fab party-ready dresses and skirts. Then keep scrolling down for some evening dressing tips.

Keep scrolling through for plus-size options.

Don’t forget the shoes:

Evening Dress Tips:

*It’s easy to go overboard with accessories and embellishments like sequins and glitter when it comes to after 5 dressing, but please keep it as simple as possible. As much as I love sequins (enough to bathe in them, maybe), they alone are enough punctuation for an outfit. With a sequins dress, all you’ll need are some simple platforms and understated earrings (see How to Choose Earrings for Your Face Shape). Also avoid wearing festive makeup AND a festive outfit–it’s a look that very few can pull off successfully.

*Make sure you pair your evening-wear with the proper coat. Nothing makes me burst a blood vessel more than to see a formal dress worn with a very casual coat. For tips on what to wear, check out How to Wear a Coat with a Dress.
