What should I wear on New Year's Eve?
Start from where you will be at midnight. A house party suits a satin slip dress or a jumpsuit; a club or rooftop party is the time for full sequins and metallics.
| Plan | Outfit | Why it works |
|---|---|---|
| House party | Satin cowl-neck slip dress | Elegant, easy to move and sit in |
| Dinner | Black velvet off-shoulder midi | Dressy without too much shine |
| Club or bar | Gold sequin mini dress | Maximum sparkle for photos |
| Cold city night | Leather trousers + metallic top | Warm legs, still festive |
Sequins, satin or metallic: which is best?
Sequins give the most sparkle and work best as the single statement piece. Satin looks softer and suits dinners. Metallic tops pair easily with black trousers you already own.
