What To Wear To A New Years Party
New Year’s Eve is the last night of the year, so why not dress to impress? Before the stress of the holidays and the last-minute dash to find the perfect sequin dress, now is the best time to get a head start on your head-turning New Year’s Eve outfit.
Whether you’re ringing in 2025 with a chill night in, need an event-ready dress, or want to build a NYE look from pieces you already have in your closet, there’s an outfit idea here for you.
Ahead, I’m sharing 17+ New Year’s party outfits for women that are too good not to share!
Sequin pants + blazer.
get the look:
No matter what your plans are for the big night, this next look will check off all your boxes. New Year’s Eve and sequins go hand-in-hand, which is why I love these silver sequin pants. They’re the perfect mix of comfy and cool and pair perfectly with most things in my closet!
Here, I’ve styled them with a black blazer, leather clutch, and pointed-toe heels. The combination is classy and simple, and the silver sequins make it perfect for a late-night dinner or party.
Sparkly mini + faux fur jacket.
get the look:
NYE is the perfect excuse to embrace all things sequins and faux fur. Enter this first New Year’s party outfit. Margie channels Blair Waldorf’s elegant New York style with a black sequin mini dress, faux fur jacket, and silver heels.
Adding a sheer black top underneath your mini dress is a great way to make it more seasonally appropriate while staying stylish. Dangly earrings and a sparkly bag pull the whole look together.
Velvet + feathers.
get the look:
Sequins aren’t the only way to go on New Year’s Eve! I love that Kirsten chose an olive-green velvet two-piece for the big night out. It’s chic, unique, and incredibly comfortable! Which is great if you’re looking for something that can be worn for different occasions in the new year too.
A fun feather bag is the perfect complement to this casual yet glamorous outfit.
Sheer vibes.
get the look:
Looking for the ultimate New Year’s party outfit? You can’t go wrong with this OOTN.
Sheer looks have been trending all of 2024 and will no doubt dominate fashion in the new year too. From mesh to tulle, there are tons of ways to wear the sheer trend, but I love Tiffany’s take. A nude-colored sheer two-piece is the perfect 90s-inspired look to dance the night away in.
Wear it with contrasting black undergarments or a nude slip dress underneath if you don’t want to show too much skin. Make this minimal look more festive with a gold bag and chunky necklace.
Metallic mini dress.
get the look:
Start the new year right with a flirty little metallic dress. If you’re ringing in the night with your closest friends and a round of espresso martinis, this look is perfect.
This relaxed metallic dress is elevated but comfortable enough to last the whole night in. Keep it chic with trendy kitten heels, a leather pouch, and chunky dome earrings.
Lots of leather.
get the look:
The best New Year’s Eve outfits incorporate wintery textures like fun metallics, feathers, leather, velvet, silks, and furs.
Get your inspo from Beatriz, who styled leather pants with a black top and fluffy feather jacket. Whether you’re celebrating inside or outside, this cozy and stylish outfit works for both!
Lace catsuit.
get the look:
No NYE look is bolder or sexier than a lace catsuit—I’m obsessed. This is another great example of how to rock the sheer trend on New Year’s; simply add an oversized blazer on top and your outfit is nearly complete! Give it some pizazz with chunky silver jewelry, a bedazzled clutch, and strappy heels.
However, if you want to stay warm while ringing in January 1st, opt for a long wool coat instead.
Winter whites.
get the look:
If you want to start your new year off on the right foot, take inspo from this next luxe look.
Not only are dropped waist dresses trending for 2025, but they’re also super flattering to wear on your night out, even after food and way too much champagne! This Orseund Iris one that Danielle wears is *chef’s kiss* but any white drop waist dress will have the same effect.
Bring in the holiday vibes with a fluffy faux fur coat and shades of winter white for a sophisticated ensemble.
Strapless top + statement pants.
get the look:
This is another one of my favorite New Year’s Eve outfits. My sequin pants are the perfect holiday statement piece, meaning I can keep the rest of the outfit simple! A strapless top, kitten heels, and a studded shoulder bag are all I need to look chic and put-together. In my opinion, this is the perfect NYE outfit if you’re hosting, heading to a friend’s party, or having a lowkey night out.
Depending on how chilly it is where you are, adding black leggings underneath your pants can help keep you warm.
Va-va-volume.
get the look:
A mini silhouette is a go-to for NYE, but an over-the-top tulle skirt can be even more fun! Styling with an oversized blazer contrasts the girly dress, while sparkly heels and a shoulder bag complete the ensemble.
Don’t forget your camera! This look is totally Insta-worthy.
Glitter everywhere!
get the look:
For when you truly want to make an entrance—add glitter, lots of glitter!
Welcome in 2025 by combining all the sparkly items in your wardrobe or at least looking like you did. Lydia created this lovely look with sequin fishnet pants and an oversized sparkly blazer. The loose silhouettes make this outfit comfortable enough to wear from one New Year’s Eve party to the next, which is ideal for a late night.
The fun doesn’t stop there! The Fendi Nano Baguette might not be the most practical night out bag, but it does add a cute pop of color.
Going out top + jeans.
get the look:
If you’re planning a more casual New Year’s night, stick with a ‘going out top and jeans’ ensemble.
I never get tired of this combination since you can always make it more fashion-forward with trendier pieces, like these barrel-leg jeans and strappy kitten heels. A sparkly top adds a holiday feel, but a silk or lace top would look equally chic!
Matching suit.
get the look:
If two-piece sets are more your vibe, then you’ll want to bookmark this next outfit. I love the look of this silky white suit contrasted with a black lace bustier and mixed metal jewelry. So simple yet striking!
This classy look is perfect for a night of popping champagne, dancing with friends, and enjoying a great meal.
Fishnet top + metallic skirt.
get the look:
I can’t get enough of this New Year’s party outfit with its crystal embellishments, shiny fabrics, and playful silhouettes—it’s all so good.
You could have paired this rhinestone-embellished fishnet top with trousers and called it a night. But I love how Jamie went the extra mile and styled it with a metallic maxi skirt from House of CB. The combination is so cool that it somehow looks effortless.
Style tip: Need the perfect bra for a sheer shirt? Try your favorite bikini top!
Sequin top + silk skirt.
get the look:
Heading to a more formal party? My next look has you covered.
A black silk or satin skirt will save you when trying to put together chic and festive ‘fits for the holidays because it truly makes any outfit more elevated. Pairing it with a sequin top brings all the glitz and glamor I could want in a New Year outfit, while patent leather heels and a clutch bag seamlessly pull the whole look together.
Sequin cocktail dress.
get the look:
It doesn’t get more festive than feathers and sparkles! If you want to make a statement on your night out, look for a sequin cocktail dress like this one. The dress does all the talking here, so Nena kept the styling minimal with embellished kitten heels and a glass of bubbly in hand.
Wherever you’re watching the ball drop, you can’t go wrong with a look like this! Personally, I’d wear this to a fancy dinner, house party, or anywhere where I can dance underneath a disco ball.
Party like it’s Y2K!
get the look:
I love that this next New Year’s Eve outfit has more than a healthy dose of sequins to sparkle the night away in. Above, Pagona styled a black long-sleeve top with a metal fringe skirt and sequin disc bag from the 2023 Rabanne x H&M collection. Together, they definitely have a Y2K aesthetic that’s so fun and perfect for a night of dancing!
If the Rabanne pieces are out of your budget, choose a similar style skirt and sequin bag to achieve the look for less – I’ve linked some great options above.
Feather skirt + black bodysuit.
get the look:
Last but certainly not least is this gorgeous New Year’s Eve outfit. I love this for a casual party when you want to dress celebratory but not over the top. One of the easiest things you can do to look stylishly festive (besides wearing all black) is adding feathers, like this feather-trim denim skirt Juti sports.
For the finishing touches? A glossy red lip and a satin clutch.
