Ring It In
If you’re going out on New Year’s Eve, you can’t just go out; you have to go all out. This night above all nights justifies pulling out all the stops. You know all those loud, flashy pieces you ordinarily rely on to carry out an entire look? For this party night you get to put them all together. Here’s a breakdown of a hot New Year’s Eve look that will generate more excitement than the countdown. Top it all off with a noisemaker and you’re good to go.
THE DRESSING
You must do a dress in sequins. The 100-percent New Year’s Eve-appropriate look happens to be a sizzling trend right now. If you stick with a metallic style, coordinating the rest of your look comes easy.
FRIENDLY FUR
A faux fur cropped jacket will not only keep you warm, but it radiates high glam. You won’t want to take it off. We found one at Forever 21, but the deeper you reach into your pocketbook, the closer the material comes to the real thing.
GLOVE LOVE
Upgrade your accessories. A pair of long gloves adds a touch of sophistication to your ensemble.
RING IT IN
A cocktail ring, worn over your long gloves, makes working the room a cinch. The bauble makes a statement and inspires conversation. It’s called a cocktail ring for a reason.
SHOES WISELY
A punchy color and interesting design will keep your shoes in alliance with the rest of this charismatic outfit. These Chloë heels are the life of the party.
HEAD OF THE BAND
Any jeweled hair accessory, headband or not, has great New Year’s Eve appeal. With hair worn down or back, you can back comb your coif to give it a little retro nod.
THE EYES HAVE IT
Dust a little metallic pigment atop your lids to add a real sparkle to your eye.
YOU GLOW, GIRL
Don’t take this out every weekend, just on special nights like this one. Simply dust it onto to your shoulders and collarbones to glow and glisten all night long.
