I’ll be the first to admit that I start planning my NYE outfit in November. It’s such a big deal!
I’m already dreaming up my look for this year’s party circuit! To help you find your perfect ‘fit, I rounded up 34 ideas that are guaranteed to turn heads when the ball drops.
1. Pink Sequin Jumpsuit

When a playsuit feels a little too chilly for the evening, how about a jumpsuit? I’m completely obsessed with this sparkly pink number. In fact, there’s no “little bit” about it, I’m wholeheartedly in love.
A great tip is that when you wear nude shoes, especially if they are heeled and pointed, it instantly makes your legs look longer. It’s why these nude beauties are the perfect pairing for this sassy jumpsuit. I think it’s just so fabulous!
2. Black & Gold

Proud of your cleavage? If you’ve got a killer one, this is your moment to show it off! This black and gold dress has just the right amount of sassy-sexy vibes, but it’s not too much.
You could still get away with wearing this sultry number with family around. Once again, a nude shoe has been brought in to lengthen those legs, but this time a gold embellished shoe was chosen.
I think it’s the perfect choice to complete the look!
3. Wintry Playsuit

Playsuits are usually something I reach for in the summer because of the short legs. This next fashionista proves how you can totally rock one for a wintry NYE event.
She’s wearing a super stylish sequin playsuit with pantyhose and some cute gold accessories. As you can see, the dark colors and covered legs transform this from a holiday piece to a glam, evening outfit.
4. Sequin Bottoms

For those moments when you’re just not feeling a dress, how about some sequin trousers instead? There’s something so jazzy about these, and if you’re wondering how to wear them, this look gives you a classic way to do it.
Just pair a crisp white men’s shirt with an oversized black bow tie, and you have a masculine-yet-feminine look that’s absolutely perfect for New Year festivities.
As far as NYE outfit ideas go, this one is so sparkly, I couldn’t possibly ignore it.
5. Oversized Sweater and Sequin Trousers

Oversized sweaters are my go-to for comfy and casual days, but they can totally be glammed up for special occasions, too. Here is a great example of what I mean.
This outfit features a black sweater with black sequin leggings. She is also wearing black shoes and a red bag for a pop of color. This is such a glitzy and cute outfit that is just perfect for New Year’s Eve.
6. Little Black Dress

You really can never go wrong with a little black dress, and it’s a great one to wear for the cold, too. You can team it with tights and pretty shoes, or even some cute boots, and you have a look you could easily wear to the office during the day.
For evening, just glam things up with sparkly accessories, and you’ve got one of the most perfect New Year’s Eve outfit ideas.
7. Sequin Party Dress

Next up, we have a seriously stunning sequin party dress. The dress itself is quite short and features long sleeves. It is such a beautiful and glitzy dress that is practically made for NYE.
You can buy dresses like this online. I’d look for a similar color to create a glam outfit, or you could be more bold and choose bright sequins like gold, blue, or pink!
Either way, you will look absolutely fabulous.
8. Chic Outfit with Bold Shoes

If you aren’t quite ready to let go of festive colors like red when NYE arrives, then this outfit is definitely for you. Here we have the popular sequin pants and sweater combo again.
This time, though, the outfit features bold red shoes. An outfit like this celebrates the entire holiday season all in one look. It’s such a fun way to keep the festive vibes going.
9. Velvet Top + Midi Skirt

I told you velvet was a big deal! If you feel like showing off what your mama gave you, how about this sassy little number? It’s definitely sexy, and that beautiful midi skirt really gives you a silhouette to be proud of.
A pencil-style skirt like this one is so flattering for a wide range of body shapes and types. You could even team it with a bodysuit or a sweater if you wanted something a tad warmer.
10. Metallic Red Dress

Do you remember when I said you could get that green sequin dress in a whole range of colors? Well, ta-dah! Red is such a classically festive color, perfect for Christmas, New Year, and honestly any time of the year.
A dress like this would be a real investment because it’s not the kind of piece you’ll only wear once. I bet you’ll be dying for any old excuse to wear it, New Year or not.
11. Burgundy Velvet Dress

Velvet is having a major moment right now, and red or burgundy is such a great color for Christmas.
So, when you think about it, this burgundy velvet dress is perfect for the occasion. It’s a wonderfully tailored dress, which is great for when you want something that nips and tucks.
Just remember to grab a shawl or a throw, because it might get chilly watching the fireworks outside in the cold!
12. Floor Length Gown

If you really want to wow this NYE, then this is the outfit for you! This look features a stunning floor-length gown. The dress is a beautiful blue color and it is covered from top to bottom in sequins.
A dress like this would be amazing for more formal events. You can recreate this look or use it as inspiration to create your own glam NYE outfit. There are tons of dresses like this available in so many different styles and colors.
13. Sparkly Dress with Thigh High Boots

If you love statement-making dresses, then this is perfect for you! This look features a short, black sequin dress that has been worn with thigh-high boots and some gold accessories.
A dress like this will absolutely wow at any NYE event. You can recreate this look or wear a similar dress with pantyhose and boots.
14. Green Sequin Dress

And for when a little black dress just won’t do the trick, how about a little green dress? A little green sequin dress, to be exact.
And don’t worry, if green isn’t your color, I’ve seen this in red, blue, gold, silver, and a whole host of other colors. All of them can still be worn with tights and heels, just like you can see here.
15. Faux Leather and Velvet

Do you like edgier fashion? If so, this look is for you. Here we have a trendy NYE outfit. The top is velvet with statement sleeves and she is also wearing faux leather shorts.
This look is finished off with a trendy belt. I love the combo of leather and velvet; it’s perfect for those who like to let out their inner rock chick.
16. Black & Gold Sequin Dress
Source: @amrezy
Of course, when you’re rocking a short dress, you can’t forget about the important details, like your legs. You’ll need to prep in advance if you’re going for an outfit like this one.
It’s not like you can rush into the tanning salon last minute on New Year’s Eve if your legs are much whiter than you’d like. Get your stuff ready early, and you won’t have any problems.
The last thing you want is to put your dress on for NYE and it not fit. Just try, prepare, and get ready before the big day.
17. Stunning Sequin Jumpsuit
Source: @elizabethmichaelofficial
I absolutely love this next outfit; it’s another one of my favorites! Here we have a full black sequin jumpsuit. It is so stunning, and the sheer sleeves look amazing.
This is an outfit that will make sure all eyes are on you! You can buy sequin jumpsuits online, and they look incredible on everyone.
Recreate this black look or be bold and try a different color. Gold or silver would be fabulous!
18. Embellished Playsuit

When you’re wearing something as bright and shiny as this embellished playsuit, you might find that you’ll need to be a little more conservative with your jewelry choices.
Too much bling surrounding this look can cheapen it, so try to go for fine pieces that won’t take too much attention away from the outfit itself.
19. Sequin Trousers and a Blouse

The next outfit is another one with sequin trousers. This time, the outfit features black sequin pants paired with a beautiful white blouse.
It just goes to show how you can pair sequins with anything, from a cozy jumper to a pretty blouse. This is such a gorgeous outfit that will suit everyone.
20. Chic Sweater with Edgy Faux Leather

If you want to look cute but still be comfortable, then this is the look for you. This outfit features a chic sequin sweater that’s worn with edgy faux leather leggings.
I just love this combo of pretty sequins with rock chick leather.
21. Dark Green Outfit + Red Lips
Source: @negin_mirsalehi
We’re back to the playsuit again, which can only mean one thing: they’re very much on-trend. Again, this can be a bit of a daunting move if you’ve never braved one before, but pairing it with tights can help you feel less self-conscious.
Another great tip for when you’ve got your legs out is to always wear a heel, even if it’s just a little one. It’ll make your legs seem longer, more elongated, and more muscly.
22. Navy Blue Velvet Dress
Source: pinterest.com
Velvet can be a little hard to wear, especially if you’ve never given the fabric a shot before. But it’s such a luxurious material, even Princess Diana was said to be a big fan, that I couldn’t possibly go without giving a little mention to this blue beauty.
If you’re worried about wearing velvet for the first time, opt for a darker shade. It’ll be easier to wear than something really bright, bold, and in-your-face.
23. Black and Gold New Year’s Eve Outfit
Source: @cmcoving
This next outfit is one of my absolute favorites! Here we have a glam and gold NYE look. This outfit features a black sweater worn with a gold sequin skirt, pantyhose, and a black bag and shoes.
It is a chic, comfy, and easy-to-wear ensemble. You can recreate this or swap the shoes for black boots if it’s too cold. This would be a great look for a house party.
24. Sequin Playsuit
Source: pinterest.com
Wow! What a beautiful playsuit! Sequins were just made for New Year’s. They go together much like New Year and glitter go together.
With these sequins, it’ll look like you’re wearing glitter, which instantly makes it a winner for me. If you’re worried about the cold, just team it with tights.
You could also consider throwing it on with some thigh-high boots for a real kick-ass look, and I can’t help but think a faux-fur jacket over the top would go pretty well too.
25. Velvet Jumpsuit
Source: @negin_mirsalehi
That 70’s kick flare style is back again, but when you take a peek at this blue velvet jumpsuit, I’m sure you won’t be complaining. It’s elegant and simple, and quite daring in the cleavage department.
If you’re feeling self-conscious though, you could always throw on a lacy bandeau bra underneath. I’m a little in love with this one, how about you? Plus, it’ll be warmer than a legs-out playsuit!
26. Bright Dress with a Bold Coat

Do you love colorful clothes and outfits that make a statement? If so, this is the perfect look for you!
Here we have a multi-color sequin dress that’s worn with a bold blue coat. I love the coat, and you could totally wear this after NYE is over. This outfit is great for a party!
27. Gold Sequin Dress
Source: pinterest.com
A wrap-around dress is perfect for so many occasions: for when you’re not feeling your best, for when you’ve just had a baby, for when you’re trying to lose those post-Christmas pounds.
It’s a flattering dress type, and one that can easily be made bigger or smaller, which makes it perfect for maternity or just after. Plus, it’s beautiful. Don’t you think?
28. Trendy Party Dress

The next idea features a really trendy party dress. This one has a low neckline, a side split, and a stylish belt. It is a beautiful wrap dress that can be as glam or as low-key as you like.
You’ll be able to find similar dresses online, and these can be worn with strappy heels, wedges, boots, and more.

I am loving this next outfit! It’s trendy, glam, and so easy to wear. Here we have a sequin midi dress that’s paired with a white tailored jacket. The color combo is stunning and it’s still a little festive, too.
An outfit like this can be worn anywhere, from a club to a cocktail party.

Next up, I have another stylish party dress to show you! This one is long, off-the-shoulder, and it is covered in sequins! It’s a total statement dress and it looks quite comfortable too.
You won’t have to worry about it clinging or riding up because of the loose and long fit. It’s such a beautiful dress and can be worn in different ways. You could even wear a similar style dress with a belt to change up the look.
32. Black Sweater with a Gold Skirt

Earlier in the post, I featured a black sweater and gold skirt combo. If you loved that idea, then you should take a look at this one too. This is another version of that look.
A black sweater is worn with a gold skirt, but this skirt is long and has a more unique feel. It is a chic and stunning outfit that will be amazing for any NYE event.
33. Sexy Sequin Dress

Next on the list, we have another sequin dress. This one is quite short and has a sexy backless feature. A dress like this is perfect if you are celebrating NYE with a night out on the town.
You can find dresses like this online pretty easily. So, recreate this look or you can try a similar dress in a different sequin color.
34. Sequin Top with Stylish Skirt

Next, we have another sparkly sequin outfit to show you. Here we have a sequin top with a short and stylish skirt.
For this look, a sequin bodysuit was worn, but you can wear a sequin top if a bodysuit is too uncomfortable for you. This is the perfect party outfit.
