25+ Gorgeous and Glam NYE Outfit Ideas
As we approach New Year’s Eve, it’s a good idea to get ahead of your outfit planning for the final night of the year.
Whether you have plans for a fun night out or a cozy evening celebrating at home, I know you’ll find outfit inspiration on this list that you’re sure to love!
The little black dress
If you’re not sure where to start with your NYE look this year, you can never go wrong with a little black dress.
Because it is New Year’s, dress it up with a fun twist (think glitter, feathers, and anything sparkly).
This dress from Lulu’s is one of my favorite finds this holiday season. The fur trim on the hem is so flirty and fun!
If you need something a little more conservative, try pairing it with a blazer.
I love this long-sleeve dress from Revolve. The bell sleeves make it interesting and fun and it has just the right amount of shimmery details.
This backless dress has been a bestseller this year! I wore this as a recent Las Vegas outfit and it did not dissapoint.
This one runs TTS and is quite the showstopper.
The fringe sleeves are such a fun twist on this black sequin dress, a perfect New Year’s Eve outfit idea if you’re going out for a night on the town.
This Anthropologie dress is one of my favorites on this list. The structured shoulder and straight silhouette make it a great option for a work event where you want to feel glamorous but professional. It’s sophisticated yet still glam for NYE.
sequined dresses
Another NYE outfit go-to is a sequin dress.
Again, there are so many ways you can style a piece like this depending on the occasion. I suggest choosing something that compliments the colors and jewelry tones you usually wear, this way you can have fun accessorizing with pieces you already have in your collection.

This white and silver sequin dress has such a fun unique design. Lulu’s offers this piece in 4 gorgeous colors, so there is something for everyone.
The Winsley dress from Revolve is the perfect piece for a disco ball moment. This dress has amazing structural details including boning, a hidden back zipper, and adjustable straps. Pair it with silver jewelry for a monochromatic, metallic look.
A statement sleeve is always a chic way to elevate a dress, and this piece does just that! The puffed sleeve and emerald color are the perfect combination. At under $90, this is a statement dress that you’ll reach for every holiday season.
It would even make a great dress to wear to a Christmas party.
Sequin tops
You may already have a sparkly statement top in your closet; if not, what a great time to add one to your wardrobe!
It’s super handy having a piece like this to use for special occasions and holidays when you need something fun.
Choose a color and fit you feel confident in and I promise you’ll use it more than you think!
This sparkly bodysuit features a gorgeous plunging neckline that makes it perfect for a night out.
I love that it isn’t completely form-fitting, so you can wear faux leather shorts, wide-leg trousers or even jeans.
I love the simplicity of this long-sleeved sequin top from Free People. If you’re a lover of sparkles and sequins, this might be a great closet staple for you even beyond the holiday season!
I love the idea of using this piece to make a casual outfit NYE-appropriate. Layer this under a graphic tee and some leather pants for an edgy look or a pair of baggy denim and a kitten heel for something a little more sophisticated.
An open-back top is an easy way to immediately create an elevated and chic vibe to your look. This cowl-back bodysuit from Lulu’s features a V-neck in the front. This is another perfect piece for layering under your favorite blazer or oversize jacket.
faux leather leggings
A great way to elevate a simple top or festive sweater is with a chic pair of faux leather leggings.
I’m linking a cult favorite option here, these are flattering, high quality, and comfortable, and you can pair them with almost anything!

We’re talking New Year’s eve so of course I had to list a sequin pant set.
A wide-leg pant like the one featured in this set is not only incredibly chic, it’s also SO comfortable.
Pair a set like this with some platform heels and your favorite little black bag and you’ll be ready to ring in the new year!
Metallic Silver Trend
One of the biggest trends this season is the metallic silver look! I’m a huge fan of this trend because there are so many ways you can incorporate these metallic pieces into a look. What better time to wear a statement silver than NYE!
This mini dress is a STUNNER. I love the idea of layering a piece like this with a white or black oversized blazer to keep warm in January and elevate the party dress look!
