New Year's Eve Dresses & Outfits

Which New Year's Eve dress for which plan

• A big party or a ticketed event: go full sequins. The Dancing Queen Black Sequin Halter V Neck Mini Dress is black sequins with a halter neckline and a deep V, the Red Red Wine Strapless Sequin A-Line Mini Dress is deep wine red with built-in shorts, and the Cheap Thrills Mini Dress is rose gold sequins with thin cami straps and a tie waist.
• Dinner, then the countdown: choose a longer dress with shine. The Shine Bright Metallic Pleated One Shoulder Maxi Dress has a metallic foil finish and sunburst pleats, in burgundy or gold, and the Starlight Metallic Shimmer Halter Tie Maxi Dress is a copper gold halter maxi with a soft shimmer.
• A gala or a black-tie night: the One More Night Long Maxi Dress is a pleated satin gown with a one-shoulder neckline, in red or fuchsia.

New Year's Eve outfits that aren't a dress

A jumpsuit or a set is just as dressy. The My Chance To Dance Sequin Jumpsuit is allover gold sequins with wide flared legs, and there are more in sequin jumpsuits. The Totally Rocking Metallic Sequin Pants Set pairs a silver sequin twist-front crop top with wide-leg sequin pants. For a house party, wear one shiny piece with jeans: the Party On My Mind Shimmer Color Block Bodysuit in silver or pink, the Dancing in the Moonlight Sequin Fringe Cami in silver or gold, or the black Wild Night Sequin Bomber Jacket over whatever you already own.

Gold, silver, black or red?

Gold and silver are the classic New Year's Eve colors, and both go with everything else in your closet. For silver, the Is It Over Now Sequin Babydoll Dress is a silver sequin mini with a square neckline and short puff sleeves. Black always works when it has sparkle, like the glitter I Remember Everything Glitter Square Neck Babydoll Dress with sheer long sleeves. For red, the How Deep Is Your Love One Shoulder Sequins Dress is allover red sequins with a bow at the shoulder. Our guide to New Year's Eve outfits explains what each lucky color is said to mean.

How to finish the look

The Skyler Silver Glitter Block Heel Ankle Boots have a sturdy block heel and glitter from toe to heel. Add statement earrings or a pair of heels, and check the size guide before you order: we carry only a few of each size. Still deciding?
