Editor’s Picks: What to Wear on New Year’s Eve
Everyone knows that the outfit you wear to ring in the New Year sets the tone for the entire year. Seriously—we read it in a fortune cookie once. So, just to be safe, you should probably go shopping for a new NYE outfit so you don’t jinx all of 2018. Our editors have made the rounds at several of our 2018 Best Stores to help steer you in the right direction.
The Color Code
Black is widely accepted as THE color to wear on New Year’s Eve, and we can’t say we’re mad about it. It always looks chic, and if your BFF spills her cocktail on you, it won’t show in photos. Metallics take the No. 2 spot, so gold and silver always feel festive. Anything and everything celestial is having a major moment right now, so if you can manage to find something with stars on it, consider it a homerun.
The Dress Alternative
Dresses not your thing? Stand out in a chic jumpsuit or a play on a tuxedo by pairing a blouse or jacket with cigarette pants. It’s a sophisticated option for a more formal event, and we guarantee the compliments will be flowing just like the champagne.
The Extras
Take it from us: there’s no worse feeling than waking up on January 1 and realizing you lost your phone at the party the night before. Take care with a crossbody phone case that’s festive enough for the occasion.
Whatever you do, don’t overdo the sparkle. It might be New Year’s Eve, but you are not a disco ball. We say stick to one statement-making accessory like a bold earring. Last but not least, remember to BYOC—bring your own confetti. Stow a single-serve push-pop confetti in your clutch to unleash at the stroke of midnight—it’ll be SO Insta-worthy.
The “Can’t We Just Stay Home Instead?” Starter Pack
If cover charges and crowds are just SO not your scene, our editors have you covered, too. Pop some bubbly in the fridge, turn on your Netflix queue and slip into your jammers with some on-theme socks. And once the bubbly is chilled, we think it tastes extra good when sipped from a festive disco ball.
Here’s to a New Year and the same you (you’re already fabulous).
