NYE Dress
New Year’s Eve is right around the corner—have you chosen your dress yet?
Whether you’re hanging at home with your best girlfriends or heading out to a black tie affair with your favorite plus-one, tradition dictates that NYE is the night to pull out all the stops when it comes to what you wear.
Sequins? Yes. Metallic? Of course. Black mini dresses, velvet materials, or cascading embellished gowns?
NYE is your night to shine and can go all out in any sparkly dresses—either it’s a sequin dress or an embellished dress.
Pro Tip 😎
When it comes to over-the-top trends, however, like light-catching sequins and head-turning silhouettes, keep the rest quite classic.
An allover crystal dress should be simple in shape, while a more complicated draping might call for a colorless black silk to make it truly shine.
Now it’s time to get shopping.
With minis, midis, and maxis; large paillettes and understated black crepe alike; shop all of our favorite festive holiday season dresses here—just in time for New Year’s Eve.
