What you wear for New Year’s Eve is often dictated by what you do and where you choose to spend the final hours of the decade. However, like with weddings, baptisms or christenings, and Thanksgiving dinner with the in-laws, there are a few pieces that are safe sartorial winners. As we get ready to ring in 2020, Rebecca Tay presents five looks to finish the year on a very stylish note.
London-based designers, roommates and best friends Henrietta Rix and Orlagh McCloskey founded RIXO in 2018, and in less than two years the brand has skyrocketed to become a go-to for flattering dresses. Besides their colourful, vibrant prints, their collections boast a slightly vintage-inspired esthetic that’s pretty irresistible. This silk-blend leopard print Clarisse mini dress is perfect for when the clock strikes 12 — but we have no doubt you’ll be wearing it for date night, drinks with pals, and more throughout the new year.

A jumpsuit is always a good idea. Sure, there will be moments when you find yourself sitting in the bathroom naked with swaths of fabric around your ankles, but the beauty of an all-in-one like this lace trimmed Irène style by Wilfred is that they’re chic, universally flattering, and easy to wear — just add accessories and go.

Every woman worth her fashion salt knows the power of an LBD, and the fact that you can’t really have too many. Whether for work, weekend, last-minute dinners or in this case, the last fête of the decade, a little black dress such as this Solange style is guaranteed to be one of the most sophisticated, sexy, and hardest-working pieces in your wardrobe.

A red dress goes a long way during the holidays, but this ruffled style will look equally sharp in the coming months (especially come Valentine’s Day). The belt isn’t included, and you can tie the collar wherever and however you like, so there are also plenty of options to make it a little less festive. For now, though, embrace the look —it’s high time to shine bright.

If you’re the type of person who believes it wouldn’t be a party dress without sequins, look no further than this skirt with satin bow ribbon and oversized paillettes. We love that the sequins are in gold and silver, so you don’t even have to choose what colour jewelry you wear (you’ve got bigger things to worry about on NYE). Team with a matching, glittery camisole or a silk blouse to pare things down just a touch.
