New Year's Eve plans are always tricky to nail down, but while you weigh your options, you can certainly settle on one thing — your outfit. A gown or sparkly dress are the obvious choices, but this year, why not try something shimmery and festive that isn't a dress. These Banana Republic pieces are party ready and will set the tone for a fresh new year.
The one thing about NYE is that you just can't overdo it on the shine. So grab yourself a sequin blazer, miniskirt or pants from Banana Republic and pair them with a another shiny texture like silk or satin. You'll be screaming party time all the way past midnight.
Classic-Fit Metallic Plaid Blazer
The Classic-Fit Metallic Plaid Blazer ($199) has a subtle sparkle when you're not looking to stand all the way out on NYE. Wear it with a miniskirt and a strappy sandal to make it more party appropriate.
