New Year’s Eve is the perfect opportunity to play with glitter and create an outfit that is elegant, festive, and confident. There’s no need to overdo it: a single shimmering piece is enough to bring the ‘wow’ factor, while the rest of the outfit can remain more understated and sophisticated. Here are some inspired, chic, and easy-to-adopt ideas.
1. The sequined top: the safe bet for New Year’s Eve
A black, silver, or burgundy sequined top immediately makes an impact. Wear it with:
-
well-cut high-waisted black trousers,
-
an understated blazer to structure the silhouette,
-
black heeled ballet flats to lengthen the leg without sacrificing comfort.
This combination always works: festive, elegant, but never excessive.
2. The sequined shorts: daring but very trendy
If you want a more modern outfit, opt for sequined shorts (black or burgundy red) that you can pair with:
-
opaque or slightly satin tights,
-
a simple, close-fitting top in a neutral tone,
-
a long black blazer to bring balance.
It’s a look that catches the eye while remaining perfectly controlled.
3. Jewellery: simple, but makes the difference
With a sequined piece, there’s no need to add large adornments. Favour:
-
thin hoop earrings or sparkling stud earrings,
-
a delicate necklace,
-
one or two minimalist rings.
The objective: to enhance the outfit without stealing the spotlight from the sequins.
4. Tights: the accessory that slims everything down
Tights play an essential role in a New Year’s Eve look. You can choose:
-
opaque black tights for a chic and timeless look,
-
slightly shiny or textured tights if you want an extra touch of femininity.
They unify the silhouette and provide a flawless finish.
5. The colours to adopt
The winning combo for New Year’s Eve:
-
Black, elegant and timeless,
-
Burgundy red, warm, powerful, and festive,
-
A metallic touch (silver or gold) in the sparkling piece.
These colours pair perfectly and create a sophisticated look effortlessly.
