A sparkly eye look is a great option, no matter what you plan on wearing, and a good lip color can spice up the simplest of outfits. An easy way to add a little sparkle to the simplest outfit is with the right accessories. A sparkly headband can spice up simple curls, whereas a glittery handbag is the perfect addition to a LBD. Or keep your look simple and let your shoes steal the show. Another quick tip is to add tights under your dress to keep you warm in the late December cold!
Whether you're staying in, celebrating at a friends' place, or going out somewhere extravagant, it's time to style the perfect look to pop champagne in!
For Staying In
If you plan on spending NYE with a charcuterie board and a glass of wine, we don’t blame you! But put away your mismatched socks and worn-out sweats, and put together a cute loungewear outfit you will feel great in. Black leggings and a chunky knit sweater is comfy, yet put-together. Add a pair of wool socks for added coziness. Don’t forget to take a picture!
Or try an oversized cardigan and a cute bralette for cozy NYE vibes. This outfit is perfect for a movie marathon and running to the store to grab extra snacks! Yes to a cozy 2023!
For Celebrating at a Friend’s House
If your plans are laid-back but social, you have tons of options for a cute NYE outfit. Dress for winter weather in a cute sweater and miniskirt, and add a pair of boots to keep everything casual!
Distressed denim and a statement top is another great option for hanging out with friends at a low-key gathering. This outfit looks great in pictures, is dressed down with distressed denim, and can be in whatever color you’d like.
Leather pants are a fun way to swap out your typical denim, and you can add a cute sweater and heeled booties for a comfortable yet elevated look! Or add a gauzy top to dress it up a little more. If you don’t own a pair of leather pants and feel that gap in your wardrobe, grab this pair from Abercrombie to wear on NYE!
A one-shoulder top and denim is another great NYE party look that doesn’t require a ton of effort. The unexpected top is super fun, but dressed down with a good pair of jeans. The shoes can be heels, booties, flats – whatever you like best.
For Going Out
This is your night to shine! If you have glamorous plans for New Year’s Eve, you need an outfit that will match. This is the perfect opportunity to pull out all the bling that’s normally tucked away. A sparkly mini dress is the easiest and most obvious option for a glitzy NYE outfit! You can add a fun pair of heels, or keep everything black and glitter for that classic Time’s Square vibe.
A LBD is a classic for a reason! A simple black dress, with matching heels and simple jewelry, is a perfect going-out look for any occasion, but especially for NYE!
A sparkly skirt and a black bodysuit are also a festive combination. Add silver jewelry and a pair of heels to tie the whole outfit together!
Or swap the glitter for feathers! This statement look is so fun for NYE and is easy to accessorize with simple jewels and matching heels.
And if you’d rather wear pants, pair a white trouser with a sparkly top! This look is great for an office party or a dressed-up version of your favorite going-out look.
A corset top and trousers are another great option if you want to dress up without baring your legs in the winter cold. Corset tops have been a statement trend of 2022, so what better way to say goodbye to the year than by honoring one of its key pieces?

New Year’s Eve is a great night to celebrate 2022 and all its wins. Happy New year!
