The majority of us may have been left with no choice but to stay in this New Year’s Eve, but that doesn’t mean the party looks should be sacrificed. Instead of yet another evening spent in our loungewear, we declare this December 31st, you should dress to impress. Whether comfort is still taking the lead, or you’re keen to embrace a full-blown glam outfit, we’ve got a little inspiration to help you perfect your ensemble.
Glam Girl
Our dresses, normally reserved for Saturday nights on the town, sophisticated dinners and of course, the festive season have all taken a back seat this year. With loungewear taking the helm for, well, pretty much all of us, we think our NYE party looks should go all out.
Take your favourite, most glitzy dress out of its sad corner of the wardrobe and sport it to see in 2021 in style. A statement pair of heels will complete the look for a night on the kitchen tiles, too.

Print Clash
The best time to experiment with your wardrobe? From the comfort of your own home, obviously. Take out two pieces you would never normally put together, and give them a try – you could end up with an outfit success. If you don’t, nobody’s going to see you anyway. Keep the accessories pared back to remain focus on the main event.

Think Knit
Would it be a winter look without the perfect knit? That doesn’t mean it has to be boring. Jazz up a simple sweater with a statement sparkling skirt (the more sequins, the better in our opinion), and complete with a fun pair of boots. We told you, no outfit is too daring…

Born to Be Wild
The animal print trend is going absolutely nowhere, and, quite frankly – we’re here for it. Despite the lack of physical events over the past twelve months, New Year’s Eve is an event in itself, and it’s time to show off your wild side.
We’re big fans of this halter neck piece (and it’s a great option for curating the perfect Instagram post around). When it comes to accessorising, let the dress do the talking, and keep your shoes nice and simple.

All Fun & Frills
For a pop of pizzazz, wow them in a frilled skirt and top. Texture is the name of the game, and we adore the dramatic nature of this combo. Plus, black and gold will forever be a colour marriage made in heaven.

The Showstopper
All dressed up with nowhere to go? Aren’t we all. The Mother of all party looks is this rather outstanding jumpsuit from Temperley London, which will have you looking like a true Dancing Queen.
2020 has taught us all that there’s no time like the present, so what better occasion than New Year’s Eve to take out that piece of clothing you’ve been saving for best?
