New Year’s Eve: Celebrating In Style

4 OCCASIONS. 4 LOOKS. ALL 4 YOU.

Not to add to your stress levels when you’re already trying to knock out all your holiday shopping, but there’s another special occasion just around the corner: New Year’s Eve.

But don’t worry – as always, we’ve got your outfit inspo covered!

Whether you’re spending the evening at a black-tie party or watching the ball drop from the living room with your family & friends, our stylists have put together the perfect lineup of looks.

Scroll through for four fully styled outfits (three for her + one for him!!) that will have you feeling fashion-forward as you take on the New Year.


COCKTAIL LOOK

IN WHIT’S WORDS

Whether you’re celebrating at an intimate gathering or heading out on the town, sequins are this season’s must-have for New Year‘s Eve cocktail parties!

The secret is mixing your statement piece with wardrobe essentials to create a look that feels celebratory yet grounded: try pairing a sequin skirt with a roomy cashmere knit for a look that’s effortlessly polished and party-ready.

Keep your accessories tonal — matching your bag, jewelry, and shoes creates an understated elegance that lets your statement piece shine. You’ll be festive, comfortable, and add a little sparkle wherever you go!

Almost all the pieces from this look were sourced from one of our local favorite boutiques, Truluck! Stop in to shop & support local this special occasion season! For more Truluck NYE looks, check out our post on Instagram today.

FORMAL LOOK

IN CANDACE’S WORDS

When the invitation calls for formal dress, we love to select a dress that is “medium” temperature.

We’ve all been to those holiday events that call for formal dress to only arrive that evening feeling slightly overdressed and seeing a wide variety of everything!

With that in mind, we like to opt for a dress that is situated right in the middle of more casual formal attire or formal, formal attire. This beautiful dress by A.L.C. does exactly that… it can lean either way ensuring that you feel confident and comfortable for the evening.

To complete the look, we added some textured accessories and these stunning statement earrings that add a little extra POP!

CANDACE’S LOOK

Coat: Giovanna Enveloping Shearling Coat

Dress: A.L.C. Nadia Draped Satin Gown

Shoes: Jimmy Choo Black Velvet Pumps

Earrings: Jennifer Behr Blythe Earrings

Pinky Ring: By Pariah Diamond Cluster Pinky Ring

EVENING W/FAMILY + FRIENDS LOOK

IN ELIZABETH’S WORDS

When celebrating with family & friends for New Year’s Eve, why not be comfortable, but also chic while you’re doing so!

We love adding small style details like a little fur jacket over a practical knit or a piece of sparkle for your jewelry that will make your night feel a bit more special while out with your friends and family!

Change out your kitten-heel booties for an easy fur slipper when arriving home!!

COCKTAIL LOOK FOR HIM

IN BEN’S WORDS

For NYE, I recommend a statement jacket.

This one from Corneliani has a fun jacquard texture and leaning into the light blue color and pairing it back to the navy bow tie and pants is unexpected, as I feel black is typically the go-to base color for NYE.

The look feels festive and fun to ring in the New Year!
