The Vibe: Winter Glam (Coat-Check Energy)

Let’s be real: It’s cold out there. But that doesn't mean you have to sacrifice your style. Our collection embraces the Winter Glam aesthetic—think long sleeve new years eve dresses that keep you warm without killing the vibe, rich velvet textures, and styles that look incredible paired with a statement faux fur coat. It’s all about serving drama from the street to the VIP section.

Trend Edit: The NYE Aesthetic

Not sure what your vibe is this year? Here are the biggest trends dominating the 2025 countdown.

Mirrorball Energy: Sparkles & Sequins

It wouldn't be NYE without a little (or a lot of) shine. Sparkly dresses are the unofficial uniform of the holiday. This year, we are loving high-shine sequin dresses in silver and holographic tones that look amazing under club lights. If you want to channel pure luxury, a gold new years eve dress is the ultimate power move—giving you that "trophy girl" aesthetic that stands out in every photo.

The "It" Girl Edit: Velvet & Black

Not into glitter? We get it. Sometimes the biggest statement is effortless simplicity. Enter the black new years eve dress. Think sleek 90s-inspired silhouettes and luxurious velvet fabrics that feel perfect for winter. It’s edgy, mysterious, and re-wearable long after the hangover wears off. For a chic winter white moment, a white new years eve dress paired with a white faux fur coat is a total vibe.

Long Sleeve & Luxe

Want to stay warm but look hot? Long sleeve new years eve dresses are the ultimate hack. Whether it's a sequin mini with sleeves or a dramatic sheer mesh moment, these styles give you that sophisticated silhouette while keeping the chill away. Look for open backs or plunging necklines to balance the coverage with a touch of skin.

Midnight Tones

Embrace the winter season with deep, rich colours. We’re seeing midnight blue, emerald green, and deep burgundy taking over the party scene. These jewel tones look incredible on everyone and add an expensive feel to your party dress.

Occasion Guide: What to Wear Where

Your plans dictate the fit. Here is how to style your NYE outfit for every invite.

The House Party

If you’re keeping it cozy indoors, you want a look that is cute but comfortable.

The Look: A velvet mini dress or a sparkly two-piece set. It’s festive enough for photos but comfy enough for lounging on the couch at 2 AM.

The Shoes: Swap the stilettos for knee-high boots or cute platform loafers.

The Club / Times Square

If you’ve bought a ticket or are braving the city, you need to dress to impress.

The Look: A micro-mini sequin dress or a statement cut-out gown. Go for bold details like feather trims or rhinestone straps.

The Outerwear: This is your "Mob Wife" era moment. Throw on an oversized faux fur coat that looks just as good as the dress underneath.

The Formal & Wedding Guest Edit

A New Year’s Eve wedding is the ultimate glam occasion. You need a new years eve wedding guest dress that fits the formal brief without upstaging the bride.

The Look: Opt for a sleek satin cocktail dress or a midi in jewel tones like emerald, navy, or champagne.

The Styling: Keep it elegant with closed-toe pumps and a sleek bun. If the invite says formal or black tie, a floor-length gown or a sophisticated, elegant New Year's Eve dress with a side split is a stunning choice.

Style School: Surviving the Winter Countdown

We want you to look as good at 12:01 AM as you did at 8:00 PM. Here are our top tips for nailing your winter NYE look.

• The Tights Hack: Love a mini skirt but hate freezing? Fleece-lined tights are your secret weapon. They give the sheer look of regular stockings but keep you toasty warm.

• Coat Styling: Don't let a boring coat ruin your fit. Treat your outerwear as part of the outfit. A faux fur jacket or a long leather trench adds to the look rather than hiding it.

• Shoe Game: If you're walking from bar to bar, opt for platform boots or chunky heels. They keep your feet further from the cold ground and are way easier to dance in.

Your NYE Questions, Answered

What if I leave my outfit to the last minute?

We’ve all been there. We offer fast Express Shipping to the US and Canada. Check our shipping page for exact timelines to ensure your party dress arrives in time for the big night.

Do you have plus size new years eve dresses?

Yes! We believe everyone deserves to sparkle. Our collection includes stunning plus size new years eve dresses designed to hug your curves in all the right places. From sequin minis to velvet midis, check our size guide to find your perfect fit.

Can I wear a short dress to a formal NYE event?

Usually, "formal" implies midi or maxi length. However, for New Year's Eve, the rules are often a little more relaxed. A sophisticated, embellished mini dress can work if styled with luxe accessories and heels. When in doubt, a formal new years eve dress in a maxi cut is always the safer, chicer bet.

What is the "Dress to Impress" theme?

You might see this on invites (or TikTok!). A dress to impress new years eve theme basically means "do not hold back." It is your permission slip to wear the sparkles, the feathers, and the highest heels you own.

How do I make a simple dress look like a NYE outfit?

Accessories are key. Take a simple black slip dress and add rhinestone heels, a sparkly bag, and layered jewellery. It instantly transforms a basic look into a show-stopping outfit.
