The dress code for New Year's Eve will depend on your plans. Perhaps you want to choose a chic New Year's Eve outfit (a fluffy dress for a formal party dress code), or perhaps you want to stay relaxed (jeans and a nice top are suitable for gatherings with friends).
Whether you're heading out to celebrate or staying home, we've rounded up New Year's Eve outfit ideas to help you ring in 2023 in style.
Elegant pantsuit
If you're feeling fancy this New Year, start with a suit in party-ready fabrics: brocade, satin and jacquard have a metallic sheen. Then think about what you want to wear underneath, especially if you're going to the dance floor and can skip the jacket.
Sequin dress
Sequins may seem like the most obvious dress option for a party, but they can also be used for New Year's Eve attire. It's all about the color and style of the dress.
This year, the streets are dominated by shades of green, yellow and purple, for example, you can choose a lime green bodycon with a cut-out back.
Metal outfit
Yes, we all love glitter. But aside from sequins, there are plenty of other ways to add extra sparkle to your New Year's Eve party look.
Actress Bel Powley, for example, wore a Paco Rabanne skirt and top here, and Gigi Hadid chose a rhinestone-embellished bodycon dress from Self Portrait for a cocktail party this fall.
Outfit with sheer tights
Whether you're spending the evening at the local pub or a posh restaurant, one of the most budget-friendly ways to update any New Year's Eve outfit is with some great tights.
Sheer tights and a little black dress (like The Attico founder Georgia Tordini) are a classic combo, but you could just as easily dress up an old mini with metallic or even colored stockings for a New Year's Eve outfit.
Festive foam in a dress with ruffles
Some New Year's events require more drama. Voluminous ruffles instantly add drama and a slightly regal look - perfect for a black tie dress code or cocktails in a fabulous location.
Satin dress with sweet wrap
If you want to feel festive without wearing any glitter, satin is the fabric for you.
Neon bodycon outfit
Change up your color palette for the New Year by moving away from traditional dark hues and jewel tones.
Make “brighter is better” your 2023 style mantra, as demonstrated by stylist Nana Acheampong, who expertly combines lime, orange and turquoise hues.
Lots of accessories
If earrings make an outfit, then New Year's Eve is the time to show off your best self.
For example, you can wear a mini dress, high heels and complement the look by choosing fairly massive chandelier earrings. Even if you wore these earrings with jeans and a white t-shirt, you would look just as stunning and be ready to welcome 2023 in style.
