New Year’s Eve: the one night of the year to go all out and not think twice about it. So now that the time’s come to pick out your party look, why not reach for one of these unabashedly festive trends? They’re bigger and better than ever, due to some unexpected twists. Grab your dollar-store top hat – it’s time to celebrate.
Velvet, Velvet, and More Velvet
The holidays and velvet are pretty much synonymous. And it’s no secret that this luxe fabric was all over runways and shopping racks, leaving you with endless looks to choose from. Now that the festivities are in full swing, go ahead and break out the oh-so-soft trend you’ve been eying since fall. Stick to a midi dress for a classic look, or go bolder with a cool-girl jumpsuit.
Sequins on New Silhouettes
Sequins: They’re a New Year’s Eve mainstay. But this year? We’re seeing them in more unpredictable places, encrusting glamorous rompers, textured minidresses, and even flared pants (which we’ll be rocking this NYE). So if your plans include dancing under falling confetti until sunrise, sequins are bound to be your partner in crime.
Lace Gets Fresh-Faced
It’s a style that’s always coming and going in the trend cycle, so we’re thankful it’s made a comeback this year. Intricate cutouts and structured hemlines bring the traditional favorite to the forefront of our closets. And we can’t help but think of how showstopping lace will look when paired with luxe jewels (and a flute of champagne, of course).
