New Year’s Eve is the holiday that single-handedly proves that less is not always more. And while piled on sequins is a definitive go-to for many, there are ways to brighten the night with a little lower-key glitz and glam for the minimalists in the crowd. We found seven extra looks that are just the right inspo for a night on the town if the regular sparkly minidress fallback just isn’t your thing.
light up the night with sparkly pants
Sparkles are a basically a New Year’s Eve requirement, but sequins don’t have to be. This year, try to incorporate glitz into your outfit in a totally unexpected way by trying out a pair of glittery pants—plus they make crazy dancing all the easier. Score!
dance the night away in a velvet dress
Without a doubt, velvet is one of this season’s biggest trends—so why not reach for a shimmery champagne number? Make it #fashion with a knotted choker and a cool, loose braid.
head back to the future in an oversize blazer
We’re in love with the effortlessly cool vibe of an oversize blazer with a black minidress. This is the perfect way take this year’s quintessential “Instagram” look into 2018 and make it all the more party ready.
channel your inner punk rocker in a vinyl miniskirt
While not metallic, a vinyl miniskirt still feels rather extra. Take a cue from this sleek look by styling with white boots and a sleek low bun.
go for drama in a faux-fur coat
Take a cue from Kate Moss, and reach for a cheetah-print coat and leather leggings on December 31. Add a chic beret for a showstopping look and a little extra warmth.
party-hop in metallic booties
Metallic booties go with any outfit in our book, and they feel festive enough for the ball drop. Pair them with tights, a denim mini, and a turtleneck for a cozy and chic New Year’s Eve look.
shine like a star with gold trousers
Try pairing gold pants with a dramatic top, punch up the look with a gorgeous berry lip, and get ready to ring in the New Year!
