The Real Chic Life

Do you have anything fun planned for New Year’s Eve this year? It’s hard to believe it’s just a few weeks away. I really want to lean into the season and the joy the holidays can bring more than ever this year— we all deserve it. There’s nothing I love more than watching the ball drop in my pajamas with a glass of something bubbly, but it can also be really fun to dress up for a night on the town or a fabulous NYE party. No matter what you have planned, we have you covered with outfit inspiration.

For A Glam Night on the Town

New Year’s Eve is the perfect time to embrace a glamorous look. Think velvet, silk, sequins, rhinestones, feathers—it’s all about gorgeous embellishments. The J.Crew Sequin Floor Length Slip Dress is a stunning choice for a formal party. For a glam but slightly more casual vibe, try a flirty sequined mini dress like the Sezane Nawel Dress. If you’d prefer a classic look that works all party season, try a velvet blazer and pants like the J.Crew Alexandra Blazer and Kate Pant.

For a “Jeans and Nice Top” Kind of Gathering

For casual dress codes, the jeans and nice top formula is foolproof. Sheer sleeves, off the shoulder styles, and glamorous embellishments are still very chic and elevated. The Abercrombie & Fitch Asymmetrical Draped Mesh Bodysuit is stunning, and also comes in a shimmery black colorway. The Zara Fringed Top with Sequins is quintessential New Year’s Glam.

For Watching the Ball Drop in Your PJs

If the party is happening on your couch and the dress code calls for pajamas, wear your favorite set or try one of these gorgeous sets with festive details that are perfect for the occasion.

Whether it’s statement sequins or casual-chic loungewear, the perfect outfit is one that makes you feel comfortable, confident and ready to take on the year ahead. So dress for the celebration you want, and make this New Year’s Eve memorable.
