Light, colour and wow effect: these are the three must-haves you cannot give up if you are wondering how to dress for New Year's Eve. The best way to start 2025, in fact, is to do it by shining.

Sequins, glitter and glow and super shine details to be worn on the skin, face and hair to bring light to the most important days of the year: the last and the first. Regardless of how you have chosen to spend this night, whether at home with friends or family or taking part in a party, here are some really must-have looks for New Year's Eve. Let's discover them together.

How to dress for New Year's Eve

We have few certainties in life, but one of them is the New Year's Eve outfit which, needless to say, has to be memorable. The watchword this festive season, we have already said, is to sparkle: there are so many proposals on the market and we are spoilt for choice.

Gilded dresses covered in sequins, black dresses distinguished by timeless elegance and embellished with glitter, and then again lace, lace and velvet that become precious and indispensable details: here's how to dress for New Year's Eve for the party at the restaurant, for the party or for parties at home.

The sequin dress

Thesequin dress once again proves to be the king of the New Year's Eve party, no matter where you are celebrating. The gold one is a real must that allows you to shine without any additional extras. It can be long, short or midi, flared and paired with a jacket or with long sleeves.

Alternatively, you can let yourself be inspired by the colours of the seasonal palette and the trends of the moment to colour the first day of the year in stunning ways and manners, almost as if it were a promise for this 2025.

If you feel uncomfortable with light colours, then opt for a black sequin dress that guarantees elegance, sensuality and sophistication.

Glitter galore

Glitter helps us shine on New Year's Eve. Not only those to be worn on the skin or used for the perfect party make-up, but also those that blend with fabrics to create sparkling outfits.

One of our favourites is definitely the black dress with glitter that alone creates the perfect party look. All you need to do is choose glittery jewellery and accessories to have a memorable outfit to show off on the first day of the year.

Velvet, lace and satin

If the proposals made so far do not convince you and you prefer to wear more sober looks, then play with fabrics.

The party fabrics par excellence are velvet, lace and satin, which can be used in different ways and manners to create an infinite number of looks.

You can opt, for example, for high-waisted palazzo trousers to match a lace bodysuit, or choose a midi dress in black velvet for a refined and timeless look. And again, a satin blouse to match a full skirt or trousers.

In short, there are plenty of ideas and you'll be spoilt for choice. But if you are still undecided and are wondering how to dress for New Year's Eve, then we suggest you take a look at our selection, which you will find right at the end of this article, to get inspired.
