Fancy pajamas, dressed-up denim, all the sparkly things—no matter what holiday aesthetic you lean into this season, we have perfect New Year’s outfit ideas to help you nail the vibe and officially kiss 2021 goodbye. If the last 12 months have felt like a fever dream, you’re not alone, which is why dressing up to celebrate a new chapter can help end the year on a more positive—if not high-fashion—note.
More important: The new variant may be throwing your plans off right now, but that doesn’t mean you should forget getting dressed up altogether. The outfit combinations we found work seamlessly for every type of New Year’s Eve plan, whether it’s low-key drinks with friends and fam or a house party with (vaccinated!) friends you haven’t seen since the before times.
Whatever’s on the agenda at the end of the month, it helps to be prepared, so consider the below New Year’s outfit ideas as your A and B game plans for the night—Champagne served separately.
Feather-Trimmed Pajamas + Tiny Bag
Fancy pajamas have been a mainstay on the party circuit since way before the pandemic. Cut for a loose fit and dreamed up in the prettiest hues (along with classic black), they’re on point for laid-back New Year’s Eve plans—or accommodating any food babies. A tiny bag and pointy mules complete the look.
Skip the sequined mini and go all out with vibrant separates. A leopard-print jacket is a versatile year-round staple—don’t tell your black blazer—that can offset bright or metallic pants. Trousers with a split-front hem feel especially right for now, not to mention they add a leg-lengthening look when teamed up with pointy heels or flats.
You totally can keep things casual and still feel like your best self. Case in point: this simple jeans and boots combo, which you can wear to an EDM rave or a group dinner in your bestie’s living room. Gold jewelry adds just the right amount of bling for the evening’s festivities.
Most of us can probably agree that a dress is a fail-safe option for New Year’s Eve, but if you want something a bit more unexpected, pair a statement skirt with a basic cotton crop top. It creates a flawless high-low mix, just adds tights for warmth.
Oversized button-up shirts dominated our feeds this fall, and we’re still all about them. Style a colorful option with knee-high boots and chunky gold jewelry for a fresh take on the New Year’s Eve minidress ’fit—belt optional.
