What to Wear on New Year’s Eve
The last day of 2008 is tomorrow (or if you’re not in the US, it might be today), and that means new years parties, champagne popping and plenty of people to kiss at midnight. But what should you wear?
Here are some New Year’s Eve outfit ideas. Ring in 2009 in style!
NYE Outfit #1
This one’s a classic new years eve party look – a pretty dress with lots of silver accessories. This outfit would work as-is if you live somewhere warm, but you could always add tights and a jacket if it’s cold where you live!
Product Information: Earrings – $3.80 at Forever 21, Bracelet – $5.80 at Forever 21, Dress – $42.80 at Forever 21, Lela Rose Clutch – $14 at Payless, Patricia Field Shoes – $21 at Payless
NYE Outfit #2
This one’s a little more casual than the first, perfect for a laid back night at a friend’s. Of course, the heels make it a little more dressy, but you could always switch those for flats to dress down. Layer up a charm bracelet and enamel bangle and add a shiny gold necklace for some sparkle.
Product Information: Bracelets – $6.50 and $5 at Charlotte Russe, Heels, Necklace, Blazer, and Bag – H&M, Tank – $12 at Topshop, Jeans – $68 at Charlotte Russe
NYE Outfit #3
This outfit is so much fun – it would be perfect for a club or night at the bars. A pair of dark wash skinnies works well with a ruffled pink tank and high heeled ankle booties. My favorite part of this outfit has to be the lip-shaped glitter purse – it’s totally ridiculous in the best possible way. A lip-shaped bag? Perfect for NYE!
Product Information: Glitter Lips Bag – $36 at Topshop, Top & Bracelet – H&M, Earrings – $6 at Wet Seal, Ankle Booties – $30 at Forever 21
NYE Outfit #4
A super-trendy outfit that incorporates some of this winter’s hottest styles. Let’s see, patterned tights? Check. Gladiator heels? Check. Purple? Yup. Layered necklaces? A tulip skirt? Plaid? You can’t get more on-trend than this look. I can definitely see myself wearing something like this. What about you?
Product Information: Dress – $90 at Topshop, Tights – $6.80 at Forever 21, Necklace – $10 at Wet Seal, Ring – $6.80 at Forever 21, Lela Rose Clutch – $22.99 at Payless, Gladiator-style heels – $18.99 at GoJane
What are you going to wear?
This year I’m not doing anything too fancy for NYE, so I’m probably just going to wear a pair of skinny jeans, some cute shoes, and a sparkly top. Finish that all off with a chain-strap bag, vintage leather jacket and my favorite new year’s accessory of all – a cute boy to kiss at midnight!
What about you? What are you doing this NYE? What will you be wearing? I want to hear your plans and of course your outfit ideas!

Lovely outifts! The outfits you pick are very inspirational.
The third outfit looks a bit like what I’m going to wear tonight.. I planned to wear a ruffled blue tank top on a black skirt (may sound like a weird combination, I know, but honestly, it’s not that weird), with lots of layered necklaces and black boots (since the party I’m going to won’t stop before seven in the morning, heels are not that practical).
Happy New Years Eve to all of you!

i can’t believe the clutch and shoes in the first outfit are from payless!!!!!
linda
woah! i can’t believe gojane has gladiator heels that look EXACTLY the same as steve madden’s gladiator heels (i got them for christmas) for 40 dollars less!
phoebe
I love these outfits! Especially the first one!
I’ll be walking around all night, so as much as I love heels, they just aren’t practical. I’m wearing a black ruffled jersey skirt, a black sweater, black patent flats, and thick, warm fuschia tights for a bit of color and to keep from freezing.
Have a great New Year!

Your outfits are lovely, I loved the first one.. this year I’m not doing anything just dinner with my parents ans sister, so I think I’ll just wear things that meant a lot through the last year.. probably skinny jeans, boots, a tank that I wore a looot last year and that I totally love and a blazer… nothing fancy…
have a great new year everybody!!!

I’ve been following this site for a while and I love seeing it grow! It looks wonderful now and your topics are just as inspirational and refreshing (and beyond helpful) as they were when you just started out! Numbers 1, 3, 4 seem more my style–I want that ruffled pink top so badly!! But I can’t go buy it since the bet between me and my friend is still ongoing (No buying any new clothes until Summer 2009) :-( Oh well.
I’ll be wearing red cords, brown ruffled top, denim belt, some layered necklaces and black flats. It’s not that dressy so I’ll probably do something more interesting with my hair. Eh.
lo
I really like outfits 2 and 3. Thank you for posting this and have Happy and Safe New Years!

Oh my, I love that pink ruffled H&M top! It’s… wow. Love it. Want it.
I’ve noticed that a lot of great stuff is from Forever 21. I checked out their site and it looks like a fantastic store, but I’m from Toronto, and there aren’t any of their stores around here… though that’s all the more reason to go shopping in the States every little while!
This site is just awesome, I check it every week. Thanks for making it! I’ve now gotten on board with skinny jeans too, thanks to that article quite a while back.
Happy new years to everyone!

To Annie from Toronto: there is a forever 21 at young and dundas and they also have a Canadian website which you can order from: http://www.canada.forever21.com

well by the time i post this, its already new years day in my country ;). Well i didn’t do much on new years eve, just had dinner with family and some friends. I do like 2 and 4, but would consider 1 if i was heading out

I love your choices in accessories and bags; I had no idea you could get such cute stuff for so cheap without it looking cheap. I never thought to look in places like Forever 21 and Wet Seal; I had deemed them all a little too young for my style. That H&M bracelet in 3 is amazing and I wanna go out and get it right now!
Sam
If you were in NYC, you knew it was stupid to be cute when it was cold outside.
But I like the outfits.

I know new year’s eve is long gone, but I still wanted to comment :) I spent new years eve at an event with several outdoor concerts, so I wanted to be comfortable jumping and walking, but also look good. So I ended up wearing black/grey skinny jeans tucked into flat knee-high boots with a fitted zebra-print shirt and a grey-and-purple jacket with fur on the collar..plus a purple scarf with lots of black MAC eyeshadow.
