We'll never get enough of New Year's Eve outfits that consist of sequins, glitter, and metallics, but we've noticed how easy it is to show up to a NYE party in outfits that exclusively feature those sparkly details. This year, break away from the usual mirrorball look for colors, textures, and silhouettes that will set you apart from the crowd. From velvet to tulle (and some sequins and glitter, too, because we couldn't resist), these unexpected lookswill look amazing with your New Year's cocktails and set your 2024 up for success.
Dresses For Your New Year's Eve Outfit
Rumored Imperial Midi Dress
This midi dress flaunts a deep navy blue that just screams luxury. For a more upscale New Year's Eve outfit, this piece is a total one-and-done.
A New Day Faux Leather Bodycon Dress
Shopping for the unexpected? Say no more – this faux leather dress will suit you up perfectly.
Urban Outfitters Charlotte Mini Dress
This fruity frock exhibits the colors of Christmas, but we think it's a much sweeter choice for New Year's Eve. 😉
Trina Turk Moonrise Dress
NYE parties always remind us of The Great Gatsby, so dressing in this golden number before the ball drops will definitely amp up the energy.
Ava & Viv Pleated Satin Midi A-Line Dress
You want to stand out from the crowd – this metallic dress is at your service!
Hutch Jazzy Dress
Jewel tones like this greenish-blue color make perfect building blocks for a New Year's Eve outfit. We adore the contrasting materials from floral pattern on this style!

All you had to say was "glitter." Consider us sold on this NYE-ready ensemble.
Rdalamal Denim Embellished Shirt Dress
A shirt dress, shiny tights, and cute, comfy heels make for the ultimate New Year's Eve outfit formula. This shirt dress has that extra oomph from some tiny silver embellishments.
Urban Outfitters Chloe Satin Slip Dress
This slip has enough visual appeal that you could wear it alone. The color! The sheen! The lace! It's just all too cute. If you need more coverage, pair it with a light cardigan or trendy bolero.
Free People Deia Midi
Velvet was made for winter outfits, and this bright cherry red dares to stand out in the best way possible.
By Anthropologie Long-Sleeve A-Line Sweater Mini Dress
We love sweater dresses because they're so lazy girl-coded. And we are lazy girls! This mini-length pink style would go great with some tights (of any color, really) and knee-high boots.
Tops For Your New Year's Eve Outfit
NIA Dominic Top
Off-the-shoulder silhouettes are always gonna feel flirty, so if that's the vibe you're rockin' with this New Year's Eve, opt for a fun top like this one from NIA! We can see this piece working super well with a basic mini skirt and black boots.
Out From Under Luna Sheer Lace Mock Neck Top
For a trendier New Year's Eve outfit, sheer materials are all the rage. We adore how wintery this blue color is, and once you match it with a maxi denim skirt and platform shoes, heads will be turning.

This top is incredibly cozy, but it still has a ton of elegant details to make it dressy – the ruffles, collar, and button-up front are just gorgeous.
Future Collective Long Sleeve Sweetheart Corset Top
This corset top brings some nice structure to your New Year's Eve outfit. The squared neckline gives femininity and elegance, plus it'll photograph so beautifully for all the Instagram pics you'll be snappin'.
Bottoms For Your New Year's Eve Outfit
Gap Metallic Vegan Leather Mini Skirt
This silvery skirt is made from vegan leather, and it's super pliable, moving with your bod throughout every party era.
Reformation Edda Silk Skirt
Like vegan leather and sequins, silk should be considered as a top fabric for New Year's Eve looks. This skirt boasts a delicate sheen that can be easily styled with a matching or contrasting top. Wear it with some Mary Janes to bring forth a cutie coquette vibe.
Wild Fable High-Rise Straight Leg Faux Leather Cargo Pants
If pants are more your vibe this year, go dramatic with this high-waisted pair. The merlot-like color will be a totally unexpected style stunt!

NIA Amanda Skort
The folded-over waistband on this skort is a total vibe, and infuses more of a casual look into your New Year's Eve outfit. We're head-over-heels for pairing it with white knee-high socks and ballet flats.
BDG Bella Baggy Patch Metallic Wash Pocket Jean
The metallic detailing on these loose jeans is giving acid wash, but way cooler. The reflective look will pair so seamlessly with the celebratory energy of NYE.
