Casual New Years Eve Outfits With Some Glitter
This look has an overall casual feel with the loose-fit button-up and black pants. But this outfit’s details make it alluring, such as the slit in the pant leg and the shimmer of the white top. And the strappy heels add a feminine touch that we love.

This outfit is a top choice for a NYE night spent out at a bar or nightclub. You can also pair the jeans with a sheer shirt or a fringed top to give off a similar look.
If the Paco Rabanne shirt is out of your budget (it’s very pricey to say the least!), try a different shirt with a chain-mail style or go with a sequin top.
This casual New Year’s Eve outfit has a fun-loving look to it. The black jumpsuit looks excellent paired with the rhinestone belt, and the feather-sleeve shirt gives this look a playful vibe.
If you don’t have a jumpsuit, you can opt for a black top and bottoms instead. This look is gorgeous and casual, making it an excellent choice for New Year’s Eve, whether you’re staying in or going out.

You can also use a silk skirt to get the same classy look and pair it with gorgeous, eye-catching heels.
What do you wear when it’s cold on New Year’s Eve?
Even if you live somewhere cold, there are plenty of ways to look cute and stay warm on New Year’s Eve. Try pairing a chunky sweater with a mini skirt, thigh tights, and over-the-knee boots. Or, you can also combine jeans with a sequinned long-sleeve top and a cozy faux fur jacket.
If you live somewhere that sees low temperatures on New Year’s Eve night, layering is the best way to stay warm and cozy while you’re out and about. This way, you can focus on bringing in the New Year with friends and family instead of trying to stay warm!
What color should I wear on New Year’s Eve 2023?
New Year’s Eve is the perfect opportunity to wear metallic colors like silver, champagne, and gold. Or, you can go more bold with a sequinned or metallic blue, pink, or purple. Pair the bolder colors with neutral tones like grey, black, or ivory to balance your outfit. For example, a champagne sequin statement top will look classy and elevated with a pair of black stirrup leggings or black leather pants.
No matter how you spend your New Year’s Eve, you can find an outfit that will be gorgeous and chic but still casual enough to be comfortable in all night long!
