No matter what new year we are bringing in, you can bet sequins and sparkles are going to be a thing! So when in doubt, sparkle it out! I would put money on the fact that you probably have an old sequin dress or skirt hanging in your closet that is begging to see the light of day again!

Two new trends that I am particularly loving this year though are metallics and velvet. Both are perfect for any dressier events that you might have coming up such as New Year’s or winter weddings. So while sequins and sparkle will never go out of style, if you are wanting to try something new this year, a little metallic dress or maybe a velvet jumpsuit might seal the deal on that New Year’s kiss! Speaking of New Year’s kiss, how cute is this bag?!

I will be braving the cold for New Year’s so I’m happy that the velvet will actually provide a little warmth. *Nevermind the completely bare back aspect* When picking out a New Year’s Eve outfit dress I always look for something that is fun and flirty but doesn’t show too much skin. This dress was the perfect compromise. Business in the front, party in the back!

If you need a little last minute inspiration of other outfit ideas, I’ve linked a few favorites below! Good news: there is still time to grab majority of these before the ball drops and we ring in the new year 🙂

New Year's Eve sparkle: sequin leggings + cold shoulder top

New Year’s Eve is the one night a year that it’s socially acceptable to wear sequins from head to toe, in my book at least and most years I take FULL advantage of this occasion. If you are headed to a party, these party pants (which are actually leggings) are such a fun and comfortable option. Don’t worry I took them for a test run and they are dance proof so busting a dance move or two in these bad boys won’t be an issue!

While sequins are a fun and festive New Year’s tradition, I know that they aren’t for everyone. So if you want to ditch the sequins and still get dressed up for the occasion, there are plenty of ways to do so! I’ve styled 4 different outfit choices below that will add a little bit of sparkle for the big night. I’d love to hear your favorite out of the bunch!
