If there's one night a year when getting dressed up to the nines [1] is obligatory, it's New Year's Eve. Sequins, jewel tones [2], silky satin, lush velvet — an outfit for NYE can be as decadent as your Christmas decorations . . . only more chic and less covered in tinsel, naturally.
Whatever your style, elevate your signature look to going out-out levels. We've selected the best dresses, jumpsuits, skirts, trouser suits, and playsuits for seeing in the New Year, whether you're looking for sparkle, fringing, lace, feathers, or cutouts.
