Shimmer & Shine: What to wear this New Year's Eve

New Year’s Eve is a night of celebration as we say goodbye to the old and embrace what’s next. And you want to look good for your next chapter! It’s a positive omen, if you will. With this in mind, these curated looks are sure to give you that confidence boost on the biggest night of the year.

Sequinned trousers are an absolute must-have, with sheer varieties offering an especially chic and modern edge. Wear these dazzling trousers with a chic crop top and a stylish pair of heels for the perfect balance of comfort and undeniable New Year’s Eve glamour. It’s all about that sparkle, baby!If this particular aesthetic doesn’t resonate with your personal style, the classic “little black dress” (LBD) remains an impeccable choice — as are the more colourful cousins of this silhouette. Elevate this classic piece with a killer pair of heels and a statement bag, ensuring your accessories inject an element of high drama into your ensemble.
