A new year, a new beginning. New Year's Eve celebrations are always my favorite, but mainly because I love the glitter, sparkles, and the confetti flying. Once you have your plans set to ring in the new year, you have to look good to end 2017 and to begin 2018. I know I'll spend the holiday in some sort of sparkles and sequins. Hopefully, these 10 staples will help save you from your freak-out of what to wear on New Year's Eve like I do every year.
Whether you’re going out for a night in the city or having a house party with your hometown friends, here’s what you need to sparkle and shine this New Year’s Eve.
1. Sequins
A sequined skirt or dress. It may be the basic NYE look, but it's also the look that never fails. Pair it with some heeled booties to complete the head-to-toe look!
2. Glitter
Another must for the holiday. My go-to is glittery eyeshadow, and there's a ton of New Year's Eve makeup tutorials on YouTube if you need some inspo!
3. Bold lipstick
Try an edgy matte black or a fun bright pink. It's NYE, be daring!
4. Over-the-knee/thigh-high boots
I really don't know if the proper name is over-the-knee or thigh-high...but you know what I mean. Probably the biggest item in 2017, and in these boots you'll for sure be ready to party.
5. Tights
It's chilly out this time of year! So go with the original sheer black tights or try a fun dark purple or another color to add some liveliness to your look!
6. Velvet
So soft! I recommend a velvet crop top with some high waisted jeans. It's always a good look for a casual NYE night out.
7. Sheer overlay shirt
Show off that cute bralette you love with a sheer shirt, and add a leather jacket to wear with the delicate so you don't freeze!
8. Furry jacket/vest
Keeps you warm and is also cute. Pair it with sparkles to be extra festive!
9. Pleather leggings
Bring out your inner bad Sandra Olsson in these leggings that will shine from across the room to make your New Year's-look have an edge.
10. Metallics
Because if you can't wear a head to toe metallic dress on New Year's Eve, when can you really wear one??
Happy New Year!
